Don't you think you should be the one learning to read and understand properly... Someone already made you understand he can only afford to spend just N4000 weekly. What's there again are we to understand?
If you read my post properly, you would see where I stated that if he had the basic food ingredients such as rice, beans and garri the 4k would be enough. But no, you couldn't digest that part of post, you quickly delved into the part I made a shopping list.
Abeg abeg I nor get strength for all this shenanigans.

Seriously, these days food are really expensive and to be cooking varieties makes it even worse.
The area I stay, tomato is cheap so what I dois, I cook plenty stew with about 2k and put it in the fridge. Then buy I mudu of rice for 1200 and half mudu of beans for 800. Though other logistics and some additives can take another 2k. Every night when I come back from work, I prepare rice and beans to be used with the stew. I eat the rice for dinner and breakfast then buy swallow or something different for lunch at work. If no sleep over visitors, the stew can last up to 5-6 days.
But if I want to bring in varieties, na to budget like 8-10k
so na one cup of rice and beans u dae eat everyday??

Op, depends on the city u reside. In Lagos, pH,south east, abj, resign and return to your village. But in ilorin, single lady and guy can eat but not satisfy.
Garri......... #200 × 2= 400
Beans....... #600×2 = 1200
Rice....… #800×1= 800
Red oil.... 2 milk cups= 300
Fish(panla)....#150 × 2times in a week = 300
Salt, pepper, onions, tomato, others..... =300
Okra....#100
Kerosene...... #600
Our leaders are bad, they are making naira not worthwhile with their systematic and continuous devaluation. But we all caused this cos you either voted buhari or you refused to vote anyone.

No bro, you don't have to insult us who cook because we can't afford to buy food outside not to talk of hiring a cook. The country is hard, and nobody choose to be a houseboy or poor person. It's the situation and I know it's going to change for better for me and everybody. If you have, you don't need to insult those that are trying everything possible to eat just one meal per day. Thanks

this woman is stupid lol how is indomie and vegetables a balance diet? no egg no protein, indomie

The stupid one here is you. How do you wake up and call someone you don't know from Adam stupid because of a post that doesn't concern you? Did you read the topic? You are talking egg and protein on a budget of 15k salary per month? Do you know how much an egg costs? And if he doesn't get his proteins in the morning from the indomie meal, can't he get it from his subsequent meal for the day? Besides, did you even know that when you take in carbs and your body needs proteins, the excess carbs can be catabolized to give base proteins? This is what happens when you give ill trained people smartphones.

See this is why I don't comment here, someone that can't look at you in real life will just type thrash at you . how can you imply that I don't have sound deductive powers because I disagree with you I did not even insult you, its my fault sha , I should not have quoted you I think say you get sense ni, na soak away full your brain,

so in your right senses, you think someone can survive on only eba and indomie for 7 days ? even prisiners feeding budget is 1k per day and they eat crap, lol . imagine cook 2 indomie and eat in the morning before going to work, unless your job is sitting down and looking, you will be feeling hungry by noon , still come back and eat eba without meat? the indomie too without egg? what about cooking gas? even charcoal is not cheap,

we are talking about weekly you are saying as soon as get paid
Brother, stop flaunting your ignorance and yes, lack of deductive powers. Go and reread the original post. Read to understand before jumping into comments. The op is trying to break down a monthly salary of about 15k to 20k and asking how he can manage it and spend about 4k a week. If you do not agree with my submissions and have something better to suggest, feel free to do so. Thank God you know that even prisoners have a 1k per day budget. The op's budget is about 500 to 600naira per day. So that is what I am working with. You say he cannot survive on 2packs of indomie in the morning, we did it in school all those years back with our bustling schedule and we didn't die. Better still, you can help the op to get a better job since you are obviously such a big shot that nobody should correct you. Cheers sha. We no dey fight.

Is it too small?

If you cook one derica of rice and pack it into 6 plates in the freezer.
Then make half pot of soup and buy like half painter garri 500.
The packs of rice will take you 3days ( morning and night). Then the soup/garri, four days. What else?
