You can eat in the hotel and pay top dollars (rupiah) or head out and try local cafes and eat pretty cheap. You can drink local beer (Bintang or Bali Hai) or drink Cocktails and Spirits and pay top dollar. I can do a day on $25 Aus, if I hit spirits or cocktails it will be $100. As for the shopping, it's the same.
Set a budget for each day and stick to it. Do 3 cheap days then an expensive one. I allow $100 AUS per day per person when we travel. If we finish under and we always do its a bonus.
