My monthly budget for food is 12k. I always buy foodstuffs in bulk, so the 12k is just basically for meat, vegetables and other small expenses.
I cook every food that I eat and I haven't eaten outside in over five years. I stay alone sha.

That means you will be spending around 30k in total per month (if we're to estimate the food stuffs you use). Considering 12k is for near, vegetables, and others.

For me it will last two weeks and three days .
I get to the market either buy #3000 or #2500 meat , buy okporoko #1000 each . Come back and prepare oha soup and Ogbono soup that’s what I am eating currently. I go to market once in two weeks. Other condiments I have them.
I stay alone .
This morning I made Okpa ( Bambara nut) too for breakfast.

Well I think a month will do for me.
I live alone, so I manage base on my income for now.

Rice 3 mudu 3500 (can last one month for me.)
Beans 1 mudu 700
Oil half bottle 350
Maggi 300
Yam 2500
Salt
Cray fish 500
Dry fish 1000 (5 small pieces is 200. So 5*5=25 pieces)
Garri 3 mudu 900
Sugar 250.

Total ~ 10,000.

That's how I manage for now.

I

No meat? Is it only rice, beans, and yam you will eat? Gas nko (since na cooking)?

10k will last me for one month. A broke guy management skills is top-notch.

How I do it.

1) No babe

2) I engage in intermittent fasting and eat only brunch—11-12 pm and eat dinner at 9pm.

3) Rice and bean 3 mudu and garri 6 mudu.

4) I apply red oil like anointing oil on the forehead. Oil for colour

Garri is always onboard. lipsrsealed this is for a top-up.

N:b No be say I like my eating pattern, I'm just caught in between the line. I hope ulcer won't come visiting.

All is for survival. As long as I don't steal from anybody or defraud anybody. God remember us ooooh!


9pm is too late for dinner.
7 or 7:30pm so the food will digest and you urinate before sleeping.

Make Ogbono and egusi soup your bestie
You won’t spend so much to prepare it.
Is better than the rice you using to kill yourself.
I can’t recall last I ate rice as I don’t consider it as food .

The 10k on food can carry me 2 days, sometimes even 3 days depending on what I eat.

First I don't eat till at least 12 noon... It's been a long time habit.

I have a special arrangement with my favorite local restaurant, Local means local,,, and we all know say na all those local dem dey cook the best delicious food you will ever eat... No argument lol

12pm sharp, mama Nkechi's son would bring delicious white soup with goat meat for only 3k. Mama Nkechi's white soup is legendary! If mama Nkechi wasn't twice my age I would consider marrying mama Nkechi!!!!

Then at night, I hit the road to another of my favorite local restaurant,,, that one is always crowded,,,, e remain to dey buy ticket and wait for your turn before dem go attend to you! Cos their jollof rice na one in a billion! Smells like wedding rice lol... I would just grab my jollof rice with moi-moi and fish.
For Only 2k!!!

Tomorrow the same circle or just a little adjustment continues.

10k cant buy you anything reasonable sha. this is the best way to go. have about 50k to spend, buy food stuff in bulk and at the end you will realize that if you do the calculations 10k lasted you a certain period. not like you literally have to spend 10k when you go to the market

I thought as much.

But when one doesn't have any foodstuff, and only has 10k, the 10k would Last him more days if he eats outside than if he decides to buy little foodstuffs with it.

If you can feed with $15(#10,00]) for 4 to 5 days in Nigeria, why do people with well paying jobs still want to go abroad. Food is cheap, rent is even cheaper. I repeat people with well paying jobs before you start quoting me. A room in a major US city is like $800 to $1500 a month, plate of Nigerian food is like $22.

You are spot on. But too many Nigerians are unexposed in their minds. They worship these places.

From my experience, I can confidently say it's easier to save-up millions in Nigeria than in US and most parts of Europe.

With a good business in Nigeria, you stand a better chance being able to purchase properties there than you would if you lived there.

A week and a half, especially if you do not live in the big cities..
Times are hard so there's little room for frivolities, moreso if one is alone.
On how to spend it, you gotta cook as often as you can. Water remains the best solvent for all solutions grin
Let's keep pushing, cause hope is all that is left.

N500 for every meal
3 meals a day = N1,500

N10,000 = 6 days and 1 breakfast & 1 lunch of the 7th day

.........
so that's N10,000 a week
in a month that is N40,000
---------------

you can cut cost by having snacks or fruits for lunch or any of the meals for N200 or even just have 2 meals a day or even fast partially eating once a day

the N500 per meal is perfect for eating in a bukka for a plate of swallow with meat , bread and beans, roadside akara with bread for dinner, garri and N200 suya, moimoi with garri, etc.

With this plan, you do not need to buy gas, wash plates, stress and worry about food.

this your calculation is lopsided and not comprehensive. do you mean you grow other vegetables and staples by yourself? abi is it only meat you eat?

A week.

Or if I want to be frugal, a week and a day or 2 would do. And this goes only if I cook because I will have to repeat meals. I don't even know which is more economical - to cook or purchase food from eateries? Purchasing food from food stalls takes my vote. It's hard for me to cook with anything less than 5k.

10K for a week or more?
Lol.

Una dey try o.
Even with cooked meals battling for space in the fridge and food stuffs freezing up in the freezer, if I'm able to spend that 10K on food and edibles for me and my wife for two complete days, I go dance for market square. If I withdraw that 10K, na 2K fit remain by the end of the day.

God has been really gracious sha!
