I am living in Toronto. I know it sounds like impossible. By the way, it is a junior one bedroom apartment.( not a condo). We are really lucky to live in this small, quiet apartment building. Many of our friends are suprised at this price

and the equipment the it has : fridge (They gave us a new one when we complained that it was too old), stove, Microwave, Air conditioner, cooking hood ( In Chinese, You Yan Ji). And we live in the beaches area where is ten minutes walk from the Lake Ontario.
As far as I know the regular one bedroom apartment in this building is 850-900/Mo, it is equipted with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Very nice, and big. What makes me comfortable is since it is a small building, the superintendant knows everybody, he can take care of everything for you even rescue your dogs and cats.

    • For how many people? 1000 bucks is enough for a 3-people family.
    • 与其说一个数,不如列种类来,你能更好判断。我当年也是到处找这些数据。
      房租:你说不要,就不列了。

      食品:
      1,方便面:有2毛的,也有一块多的。
      2,各种面:块把钱应该有500G吧。
      3,鸡肉:小点的鸡腿大概2-3毛一个吧。排骨:2-3块1磅。
      4,可乐:24罐7块来钱。
      5,米:没买过,不知道。但不可能贵。
      6,油盐酱醋:都是2-3块钱的东西。
      7,蔬菜:好像贵一点,赶上肉了。
      8,汉堡包套餐:4-5块。其他西人套餐:5-8块。中式快餐:3-6块。

      2,现金:2。25/次。
      3,车票:1。80/次。10张起售。
      这里的每次指从出发到目的地,中间可免费换车,但不能走回头路,也不能超时。

      通讯:
      1,固定电话:60左右的一次性安装费,以后每月20左右,市话全免。打中国3毛左右吧。
      2,手机:签约1-2年,0机价。每月30以上月费,超额。。。HTTP://WWW。ROGERS。COM/ HTTP://WWW。TELUS。COM/

          • 惨哪,惨!......
        • I have a friend lived around downtwon Toronto, over $900/month, one bedroom. The price varies a lot with locations.
          • Yeah, one bedroom suite at yonge and bloor, 1400, that was five years ago by the way
            • That's the reason he moved to Ottawa last year. $1400/month can buy a decent house in Ottawa :)

          • could you kindly tell me where your building is? and i am considering moving. thanks.
            • 485 Kingston road. Superintendant's telephone is 416-693-2576.
      • 每个月200块Grocery?我两个人DOUBLE一下都不够,而且没敢在外面吃饭,中午也是带便当。日用品也是去WALMART买。
        稍微奢侈一点的开支就是平均每天每人一个苹果,有时买点草莓、西瓜;酸奶;ICE CREAM;前一阵还会在MUFFIN晚八点以后mmMUFFIN特价买6个5.5的MUFFIN,够我们三天的早餐。
        • 天哪, 这也叫奢侈???
          • 我觉得她这样挺好的,正说明心理准备充分,在生活没有走上正轨之前一切小心点好。将来回忆起这一段小心翼翼的日子也别有一种情趣。
            • 是这么个理儿
              • Agree.
          • 所以我觉得吃200块钱一个月简直是开玩笑!
            • 还是有可能的,主要看在哪里买东西。
              • 我觉得还是看到底吃些什么?据我所知,Loblaw、Domino的东西一般比No Frills贵20%-30%,但特价的东西常常比No Frills不特价的时候要便宜。
                比如这周Astro Fat free12合装的酸奶,Domino特价3.77(原价5.99),No Frills是4.27;这周Domino的西瓜3.77/each,实在也很便宜了。我大部分食物都是在No Frills买,肉和一些青菜在唐人街买。No Frills的东西确实便宜,(比如18只装的EXTRA LARGE的鸡蛋),但东西实在也没有Loblaw、Domino新鲜。
                没收入就只能这样过日子了。不过,我还是想不通200块两个人一个月怎么吃?
                • hehe watermelon in nofill today is 2.54 and in pricechopper is 2.97( no seed)
                • 准吓你一跳:还有一个女孩子,她说他一个星期只需$20就够了。
                • 那种酸奶, 我在No Frills买过2此, 一次是1.99,一次是1.27.
                  • 我买的是12只小盒装的,不是一大盒。大盒的我一次吃不了。
                    • 我说的是12小盒装的, 买的日期是6月份, 现在总碰不到了.
                • 对呀!这几个礼拜loblaws好多东西都很便宜,上几个礼拜valumart上好的大排肉也很便宜。
                  NoFrills蔬菜肉类不是很便宜。

                  两个人吃200,我们家五六年前就发现做不到了。唉,自己做,吃不了多少钱,
                  平时消遣也没什么,嘴巴身体千万别亏待了。
            • 我们夫妇二人 每月也就花$250吃饭 而且我中午从不带饭 都在外吃 奇怪 为何会差这么多
              • 节省一点一个人一餐LUNCH应该在4-5块,算4.5*20天,也要90了吧。你还要吃早餐、晚餐呢。比如早餐,牛奶这里比国内便宜,一周4升,也要15$了。总要吃其他的吧。
        • 我们家三个成年人,吃饭每个月500足够了
          自己做,吃的还不错,猪肉大排老虎虾水果奶蛋蔬菜都充足,我还常买ice cream和糖果点心。我不常去Chinatown买菜,其实loblaws, dominion, valumart也都常有很好的价钱。只有吃的圆米是在no frills买的。
    • 我们夫妻两人除房租外每月的必须花销大致为:
      食物:$350 包括偶尔出外用餐,保险:160,汽油:$100,TTC:$95,ADSL:$45,市话:$28,长话:$30,日用品:$30,洗衣:$20
      • 极其精确。但事物350好象不能包出外牙祭。
        • 看来我也可算得细心的主妇了,但却还是常常被先生称为哈哈太太 ^_^。
          食物花销不大的原因可能是因为我们两人不喜欢吃洋人的cheese,butter,cookies 等食物吧,而这些东西往往很贵啊!我们家标准的中晚餐一般是两菜+一汤+米饭。我们从不在吃上节省,一般想吃什么就买什么;当然龙虾之流的就吃的很少了。
        • “快”餐叭。
          • 先生和我都不喜欢吃所谓的快餐,是快餐的敌人。
            也许我们一月食物花费不止$350? 不过,不论如何,在这里用于吃的花费所占比重不算太多。我们两人在外用餐一次大约$30左右;如果是下午茶之类,$20就差不多了。

      • Who take care of your child? You should not foget that, you may hire a person which can get $2000 from you for this.
        • My parents are here, taking care of my kid.
          • So your expense is not just couple with a kid.
