(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? the food in covered by program fee, unless you want to buy your own food outside.
Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? the food is pretty cheap in Japan when compared to traveling. However, since the US dollars is decreasing, I still spend a lot of money on vending machine.
