How much you make -> Rent -> other important expenses -> should leave at least around $100 for food

Knowing your income might help.

What are some examples of 'important' expenses, out of curiosity?

Transport, utilities bills, spare money in case the soles fall off your shoes.

AU$100 to AU$150 per week if it's for yourself only.

Just get a lot of vegetables, beans and fruits. They are cheap. Eat meat once a week if you eat meat.

It's not just food you have to factor into your grocery budget. Don't forget things like toiletries, household products (cleaning etc), and if you have a pet food for them.
