Grocery - 150-300 $/month
Internet + phone - 80$/month (Bell Canada)
Entertainment - 60 - 100$/month (20$ for a movie)

People who have relatives here, get yourself on the insurance of your relative as occasional driver until you buy your car as it will add up the driving experience and your insurance will be cheaper when you buy you own car.
