pocket money

Kid's weekly cash

Pocket money is a small amount of cash for minor personal expenses.

In British usage, it typically means a regular allowance given to children by their parents: She gets five pounds a week in pocket money.

More broadly, it refers to spending money for incidentals rather than major purchases: I keep some pocket money for coffee and snacks.
