bread RM3.20, I eat half only.

Breakfast
Monday - Friday : RM1.60 daily (sometime got eat, sometime no eat)
Saturday & Sunday : at home no eat breakfast, coz always sleep til 11am, wait 2 hours then lunch time edi.

Lunch
Monday - Friday : RM6.00, nasi campur kedai Melayu, 1 chicken 1 sayur. sometime got go out eat at chinese food caurt, RM7.50 then, but rarely go out.
Saturday & Sunday : RM8.00 - RM9.00, nasi campur kedai Cina, same 1 meat 1 sayur.

Dinner
Everyday : RM4.00 - RM 5.00, nasi campur kedai Cina (it's cheap bcoz night discount price coz going close shop) 6PM discount 10% / 7PM 20% / 8PM 30%, although stated like this but it usually discount more than that. I usually tapao during 7pm time.

My motorcycle petrol cost
RM6.00 can last 3 working days, daily travel 20km.
Saturday & Sunday barely use, the location kedai nasi campur very very close to my living place. like 1km only.

I have no demand on food quality/taste, I can always eat the same thing. as long as did not taste bad.
I have no entertainment/social, play games at home.
Few years ago I already bought a hair cutter for arounf RM50, been cut botak myself since then.
Shampoo and etc, I always choose the cheap one to use, like guardian brand is is cheap and good.
tooth paste i use slight expensive one, Darlie, but 1 paste can use superb long time, buy a few when got discount.

My expenses are quite similar to you, but I have a car and a girlfriend. And when you have a girlfriend you cant afford to spend like that, else you are better off without one.

Food: My budget is about RM10 per day (personal spending only, if eat out with GF confirm tak cukup). Breakfast I will usually limit my budget to RM2 or even just drink milo at office pantry. Ping Pong biscuit only RM3.75 for 1 pack, easily can last you one week. Lunch eat out zapfan RM7-8 for my portion. Staying at home so sometimes eat at home sometimes eat outside. RM10 is a bit hard if you are staying outside, RM15 is a better gauge.

Housing: No need to pay rental since staying with family, so instead give parents RM500.

Motorcycle: RM5 for 3 days, about RM40 per month. If i take LRT to work that is around RM100 for unlimited pass and petrol fee to the LRT station.

Car Loan: A bit high but no choice, no girl wants to sit motorcycle with you. RM600 per month. Petrol maybe RM50-100 per month since only use for outing.

Mobile Plan: Rm30 plan can get you a lot nowadays.

Force saving: RM500

Total around RM2000.

I think if you are single and you know how to ride bike in Klang Valley, you really can save a lot.
