Self-catering helps a lot since groceries are cheaper than daily restaurants.

Jersey is pricier than mainland UK. Café meals are £10-12, and pub dinners run £18-25. Buses are well connected at £2.70 per ride, though taxis are £10-15 minimum. Tips are 10%. On a budget, £55-60 daily is possible if you self-cater and use buses. Groceries are higher due to import costs, but they still save money compared to eating out. The island is beautiful but not a shoestring destination. Even budget travellers should keep £1,600-1,800 in mind for a month-long stay.
