Waste not, want not.

We make so many purchases that we don't always realize what we are buying. If we take a step back and think about all of our additional costs, we could cut a few out of our lives.
1.Cigarettes: In Nigeria, someone who smokes one pack of cigarettes a day burns up over #1800000 million naira a year. Smoking can also be a huge cost to your health medical bills can rack up from the dirty habit even tobacco companies are quitting
2. Brand name drugs: For most products that are exactly the same, customers would usually choose the cheaper option. This does not hold true for brand name drugs, which consistently outpace sales of their generic counterparts despite having the same ingredients and effects. Save yourself some money and buy the generic ibuprofen instead of Advil
3. CDs and DVDs: CDs and DVDs are becoming obsolete, but many people still shell out cash for hard copies of albums and movies, but most people now stream entertainment on apps like Spotify, Irokytv and Netflix for a monthly rate that costs less than a single disc.
4. Cable TV: Like music and movies, television is moving from more traditional modes to online streaming. Since cable packages make you pay for more than you want, Streaming has the added bonus of no commercials and watching on your own schedule.
5. Gym membership: Gym memberships can be expensive, so if you're not a frequent visitor, you're just wasting money. Thankfully, there are ways to be healthy and exercise outside of a gym.
6. The newest gadget: Whenever a new gadget hits market, the older version takes a plunge in price. The old and new version will probably be very similar and the most recent model may have kinks to work out. Save a lot of money by going with a slightly older product that has nearly identical capabilities.
7. Clothes : When you think of changing your wardrobe you should think of less expensive ones at least fairly used ones should be your priority . You can save a lot from that.

Different strokes for different folks

That trap of cable (DSTv) TV caught me. Paying to watch live matches that I eventually end up not watching. Or is it their ancient movies?
I've made up my mind to buy two dish, strong and free to air. My eyes have opened.

What if we can comfortably afford these things? Should we still do ijebu?

You copied this from a foreign blog but you forgot to change some things to fit the realities in Nigeria

Guy go and copy your own, at least some reasonable nairalanders will make use of the simple information. Procrastinators everywhere
