Spending 40-50 on a meal is no problem, if I can afford it I like to have 150-200 for every day. You don't have to spend it all but if you do you are going to have fun :D
But I have been to Amsterdam and only spent a tenner :lol:

It's not just about the smoking as it's everything else that adds to the money needed. Even a low tollerance smoker smoking 2-3 grams a day will spend about the €25 mark on smoke alone. If your smoking that in the coffeeshops you will at least be expected to buy drinks while you are there. A drink might cost between €1.50-€2.75?. You cant just get 1 drink and stay there a couple of hours on that 1 drink as thats taking the piss. At least 1 drink per hour I'd say. So 8-10 hours a day in a coffeeshop is another €20 in coffee or juice alone. You can add to that if your a beer drinker and go to a smoking friendly bar and have a beer at €2.75
-€6.00 with your joint. Food is expensive unless you snack and or eat on the move.

So I'd still say €75 per day is the minimum for my liking.

That sounds like a good estimate i usually work on ~100 - 150E per day.

Well if my latest ebaying comes up trumps I'll deffo be looking towards the €125-€150 per day myself. Anything left over when I get back home will be put towards a 3D pc monitor or projector :)

Those numbers are just about right...100e - 150e p/d, and are quite doable when you are only going for 3-4 days, even for a week. When you plan for an extended visit, say a month, that sort of per-diem can get a little out of hand....31 days @ 150e p/d = 4650e.
The only real advise that can be offered is, 'Take as much as you can....and enjoy'
If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll meet you on the next one.
