Cost of living spreadsheet

I finally got around to doing a spreadsheet with the dockets from purchases I've made since I've been here in Playa, and was pleasantly surprised.

My calcs show that I'm spending on average $A35 on food every week here, and a bit over $9 on drinks. Now while that might seem a bit out of proportion, I have to tell you that I currently have 9 bottles of wine, 2 cartons of sangria, an almost-full bottle of Tequila and the same of Vodka, in my little stash, so it's not like I've actually drunk all that expense. The wine in my "cellar" alone would probably last me a few months and the spirits considerably more. And that's not including what's in the fridge. I did stock up a bit with the anticipation that friends would come and visit, so if you are considering doing that, better let me know before I drink the lot!

I've spent so far $650 on household equipment, things like small electrical, sheets, towels, light globes, etc and that works out so far to $40 a week, but that expense will drop off now that I have everything I need. There was a bubble at the start to get crockery, cutlery and glassware, and then again when I got the equipment required to rent out the place, such as blender, toaster & electric jug, plus 8 towels and 6 sets of sheets - stuff I normally wouldn't have bought.

My next task is to work out what it cost me to furnish the condo, including blinds, ceiling fans and large appliances. I had budgetted for $10,000, but my guess is that I've probably come in under $5K, even with my 46' TV and huge fridge.
