That's like 3 times what some earn on a monthly basis. I take it you're family man but even at that, this is still huge. Well, I've not had the time to calculate mine but it should be around 20 - 25k

Autonomous consumption stands irrespective of how economical you are... Pray make God continue to provide for us.
Re: See How Much We Spend On Food For One Month by NoToPile: 3:34pm On Oct 20, 2022
Fair enough

This still excludes other expenses though, provisions, tolietries, diapers for your baby etc.

Only God can help us with the way things are going.

It's just that the prices of food items are so high that it is nearly impossible to purchase them.

I had to go and check the amount I have spent this month alone and it’s 65k and month never end o, even though am single and stay alone though I have some dependents I guess that’s why it’s high.

The inflation is crazy , sometimes I wonder how people who don’t earn much survive

All I need to do is to buy sugar and put myself on a steady diet till month end and the cycle repeats...

Na WA o. Hmm

My husband would give me N60,000 for 3 months with 2 children and I'm expected to pay electricity, buy gas, foodstuff, children snacks, children stationeries, lawma, security and everything. When I say add something, he says what do I expect him to do, that's all he can afford, for 3 months? And someone is spending 77k for one month.

Please before you judge him, how much is his monthly earnings? Do not compare your journey and husband with someone else. It is always bad.
