Interestingly, there was this educated couple in UK (if i recalled correctly) that tried to measure this very precisely in a 16 weeks study on themselves. They had no children. They also videotaped their movements.
They calculated every (and i meant every) single cent they spend, meaning on food, drinks, etc and tried to use as little money as possible. I think one of them worked, the other didnt.
Recalled that it came to around S$800 pm. I think it will be an interesting study to see how little singaporeans can live decently by if ever anyone is going to commit to such a study.
