What will the approximate cost be for one month of lodging and food in Mexico?
I would consider about $5-10/day for food and if you have to rent a house – $100-$150/month for rent and $30/month for utilities. If you stay with a local family there will be costs you will have to cover and perhaps a small fee to cover food, laundry, cleaning and water plus you may be asked to pitch in with cooking, cleaning and shopping. It will depend on where you stay.
