how much do u spend in an average day in amsterdam?

Post by dwain82 »

just wondering roughly how much people budget to spend per day while in Amsterdam on food,drinks n weed/hash ?? I normally spend between 150-200euros a day (110-150GBP)

Between 50-75 Euros, I go for quality not quantity. :D
I prefer to spend more a day on my hotel than I do weed/hash.
How sad it must be for some that chose to live like a bum/derelict, but spend an inordinate amount of money on weed. Sad indeed. :(
Cheers.

I'm going for 4 Nights in June and will take about 500 Euros spending money. Not saying I won't visit the cashpoint at some point as well... :wink:

€200-300 a day, although I aspire to be more like Uncle Ron when I grew up :mrgreen:

Depends if your there to crawl the shops all day? You can spend very little if you buy fly smoke outside ,parks .If you think you could smoke all day, all night I suggest you come out to 420 next year.Crazy amount of weed being smoked. :) I can hold my own when it comes to weed,But I take my hat off to some ACDers around here Machines…smoking machines :mrgreen:

Deffo - makes a big difference to the budgets sitting in Coffee shops all day drinking Looza's etc. We generally rent a smoker friendly apartment so that we can chill there. Not sure the extra cost of that is saving us any money mind you :)

Usually I'm dropping between €150 and €250 a day I'd guess. Depends on what you're buying and where you're buying it. NOTE: Buying bubble hash at €35/40/50 per gram (isolator as the dutch like to call it) will wildly inflate your daily budgets :)

I averaged 12 bags a day last trip. Now if I'd shopped at the lower end of the menus (or in shops further from the centre) I'd probably have been able to save between €2 and €5 on every bag. That works out to a saving of another night in a hotel! Mind you - then there'd be another day's consumption to pay for :D

i spend a lot.

get a nice apt in the city with some friends…

but with the smoke its like 100-200 euros a day sometimes.

depends if you're smoking blunts tho. :)

if i'm using the airizer solo, i can spend 1/3rd and be set for the day.

i work hard, when i go to amsterdam i don't pinch pennies, i'm trying to enjoy myself.

I think it depends what you want to do in The Dam... I'm going in June so possibly I could just buy n fly and wander the canals/parks.

Or..... RLD. Smoke sessions in coffeeshops. Decent meals OUT rather than in the apartment. Nightclubs in the evening.

You can have a great time on 50e a day AND 500e a day. :mrgreen:

Katt Williams said it best, "Life! It's fuckin' short. Enjoy that shit. You do you Boo Boo." And I will try to keep to approx 120e a day in June. Try being the operative word!! :D
