You're doing it wrong!
5 kilos of fresh chicken from maple lodge farms is about $40. Add a box of freezer bags for $5. Get home, bag it, freeze it. Last box I had 32 good size breast, been as high as 38.
No sale will beat that. You can buy it already frozen but you only get 4 kilos.
ya thats 5 grande white hot chocolates from star bizzle

Ok heres my suggestion. Move to the west end, like west of yonge. The apartment prices are way cheaper this side. When i first moved "downtown", i lived on Quebec ave in a bachelor, rent was 600 a month with a parking spot. 2 minute walk to the subway, 5 minute drive up to the 401 or down to the gardiner. I was making about 1600 a month and it was doable. Tight, but doable. If i had the choice at that time I would have definitely stayed at home though and saved that money, but unfortunately i didnt have any family in the city at that point.
Heres a breakdown for you though:
1) Rent, about 600-900 a month for a bachelor or a 1 bedroom depending on the exact neighborhood.
2) Food, about 50 a week
3) Whatever your insurance/bike payments are and gas.
Do the math. Can you afford it?

You can stay at Filmores Hotel for less than $1000 per month. And if times get tough you can go downstairs and work.

No MLF's in London. Boo!
I say .. kill the cat and dump it on the BBQ, then save the money u plan on spending on the cat and use it to buy real food and pay for stuff.
in a more serious response:
Based on your post you want to find rent somewhere around the $600, don't go over! which means you need a roommate. Make your calculations based on what you make for sure.
Don't forget you also need to plan Laundry $$, clothes, phone/cable/internets bills and beer expenses.

Your budget would work if you moved to, say, Hamilton. Plenty of shared accomodation houses/batchelor apartments for $4-500 /mo. Hell, my mortgage in this town is $550.00 /mo to live in a townhouse, that i rattle around in all by my lonesome. Gotta have that garage..
$120.00 a week for an individual to eat, in groceries? Holy Hell, talk about putting on the Ritz. I've been told that i eat like a bird, but between the two cats and myself, my grocery bill is maybe $120.00 a month. I don't eat filet mignon every night, but i do eat well enough that the wind doesn't blow me away when it picks up..
Otherwise, as another poster suggested .. jane and finch sounds about right. Living independantly is an expensive proposition, relative to wherever you are living. Look on the bright side - it's even more stupid expensive to live in Vancouver from what i hear.

MLS actually does rentals too and maps them out but I don't know if people actually use that. *shrug*
There's also viewit.ca. A lot of their listings are expensive as hell but you can show the listings using a map, which is nice.
LOL, true, dad
I don't see how somebody can just spend $40 a week. Unless they eat out often and dont need to cook
thanks, this is what i was looking for...too bad it hasnt quite caught on yet...i have to sift through the kijiji ads 1 by 1...bleh.
