Food and accomodation were well cheap and we ended up paying half as much for a nicer flat than we do in Birmingham for a rat inffested flee pit. The phone however went up as we made loads of international calls had internet conections and all bought mobiles for extra coverage. travelling went up as we went to loads of cool paces and visited far off towns and cities for tourism...something you don't often do in Birmingham funnily enough. Nightlife was about the same because the cheaper it is the more you want so it ended up levelling off evenly. However in all if you way it all up it was a hell of a lot cheaper and usually better quality than home...especially the food.

Eat out as much as You like because it's all so cheap...however watch for where the locals go first and follow...otherwise you go to tourist traps and it becomes less cheap.

When I am at my parents place I do not have to pay rent and usually spend less on food. I spend more on travel, because I take the chance to see a little bit more of the country if it is possible timewise and financially.

Find one of the cheaper supermarkets. The offer does not vary a lot, only the brands are different. For fresh fruits and vegetables go to one of the market halls. The quality is very good and the price even better. Spain offers "Bazars" in which you can buy day to day things quite cheap. Be careful on the Tapas eating. A Tapa may only cost a Euro, but you can easily eat a few of them, so the money gets pilled up if you add the drinks.
