The amount surprised commentators.
A Belarusian woman from Polotsk told TikTok how much her family spent on groceries, cafes and basic household goods like household chemicals. According to her calculations, the total amount of expenses amounted to 1,522.72 rubles. In the comments under the video there was a discussion: some called such spending too much, others - quite modest for a family with a child.
The author of the video specified that there are three people in the family and they buy groceries in the store "Hit", writes "Mirror".
They spent 37.4 rubles on fruit for a month. On vegetables - 61.27 rubles. "We began to buy potatoes, so it's pulled up like this," - commented the author of the video.
Dairy products pulled 132.84 rubles. And the biggest item of expenditure is meat and fish - 361.86. "From fish we take only pollock, but we can still take red fish," says Polochanka.
Bakery products - 57.20 rubles. Various goods for the child - spiders, porridge, canned meat, water, diapers - 206.73.
"We also drink purchased water, and I also take juice, sometimes lemonades. That took 113.37 for the month. Pasta and cereals took 8.77 for the month. But we just have a lot left over from previous months," - said the author of the video.
"Going to cafes I also included in this calculation, because it is also food. And for a month we were somewhere about five or six times in establishments, we got the sum of 196.32. And for all sorts of other things in the store: groceries, household chemicals, powder... In general, we got the sum of Br347.23," continued the Belarusian.
Total spending reached Br1,522.72.
Some commentators were surprised by the sum, but for different reasons: for some it turned out to be a large amount, while for others - modest. "At least someone wrote the real amount. Otherwise they write "Oh, I have 700 rubles for a month went away". You there che, doshirak fit in, and caviar One trip to the store - 100 rubles goes away", - wrote in the comments. The author of the video agreed: "That's right. I can not imagine how to 700. One cereal, potatoes and a piece of meat to eat for a month. Yes, I do not have the willpower not enough not to snap at a tasty tasty. And it is also unrealistic to limit the child in something".
Someone admitted that his family of three spends 770 rubles - "we also buy water". The woman replied: "You are very frugal. I also want to try to reduce spending, to buy something more rationally."
