I try to make sure he has at least $20 a week. He works in there so he comes up with some himself and every now and again someone in his family will put $20 which helps.

I'd say around $20 a week is fine once he gets settled in; I send mine about $85 a month, and then he gets maybe $20 every other month from his mom. But the first couple weeks I sent him more because he needed to get basics....Walkman, socks, shirts, that kinda thing.

I was putting $50.00 per week on my husbands account but they have dropped the limit to what they can buy. Also-they take money from his account for his medications as he is a diabetic.

I send $30 a week, in addition to phone calls. I put $50. a week for calls. We have a call schedule. I could do more, but Mike said he would rather me use it for the kids or to in the house. He does not even want me to spend as much as I am on canteen and phone calls. He says "I have a home that needs to be maintained...and it's not this prison." I am so glad he is not selfish.
I send him about 100$ a week but now he as a limit to only spend 70$ per order sheet so h has 230$ saved in there so ill only be sending 100$ every two weeks. unless he needs more. which I doubt since he just stared working in the kitchen I kno he grubbing good
How much money do you give to him in his canteen?
