My partner sends us $300 monthly and it's more than enough for our needs. We don't buy milk since I breastfeed my baby and I don't buy diapers since we use cloth diapers. I only allot around 1,000 for our grocery needs like soap, shampoo, detergent, fabric softener and a few food to snack on. For my kid's stuff, like his toys, I buy only what he will really like. I don't buy often because his toys only pile up. I am yet to add budget for his food when he starts solids which will probably just be around less than 1,000 pesos.
