small hack to help you manage the home budget, there is an app called D4D, deals for deals, it basically trawls all supermarket prices and gives you the best prices on the item you are searching for, be it fruits, water, etc.

that will help.

and giving monthly utilities in currency other than the local is confusing Askalany :S
