March Expenses... that was a cheap month!

How much does it cost to RV in Turkiye for a month? Well using our March expenses as an example, it costs about $950 CAD ($760 USD)!

Yes, that is our total expenses for the month of March. $950 CAD. And that is for everything, including our travel medical insurance.

Here is the breakdown of our expenses for the month...

Medical Insurance: We spent $175 CAD on travel medical insurance for the month of March.

Fuel: We spent $195 CAD on diesel fuel for Max. But, his tank is almost empty and will need a fill up tomorrow.

Propane (LPG): $47 CAD on propane. Hopefully that's the last of our heavy propane usage as spring has now arrived.

Groceries: $270 CAD on groceries. 

Meals out: $46 CAD on meals out.

Alcohol: Only $78 CAD. That actually doesn't buy much booze in Turkiye and we have been mostly limiting ourselves to a few drinks on the weekends.

Miscellaneous: Just $41 CAD and that includes foreign exchange fees for cash, laundry, parking, and cellular data access.

Entertainment: Hiking and bike riding is generally free, and we did a fair bit of that. We also spent $29 CAD on various museum and attractions passes.

Overnight: We spent $68 on 11 nights of camping fees. Otherwise, we free camped.

So, $950 CAD for the month. That's pretty cheap. Next  month will be higher because we have quite a lot of driving to do, and fuel has of course gone up in price. But we still have a budget planned of only $1,350 CAD, so it's still not a lot of money. 

Of course we are saving now, but our spending will be above average in Norway in June and July, and Canada in August and part of September.
