I wish I only spent 2500 QR a month!
You must take into account the types of food (for example) certain nationalities enjoy. Benic is form NZ, and as such they may not restrict themselves to Arabic or Indian etc foods, which do tend to be cheaper than the imported stuff.

I'll give you an example...... Basmati is a staple in my house; but when I have to make a good Italian risotto, I buy Carnaroli Risotto rice....... 35 QR a kilo!

Benic, you'll be lucky if you spend less than 2500 QR on food alone in a month. It really depends on your lifestyle.

A car payment is 1000 (decent sedan) - 3000 (suv) Rent, 800 - 2200 installments if financed.

Internet and phone 300QR approx
Showtime 200QR approx

Personally I think it's a little on the low side; if your intent is to save.

Good luck. :)
