With the biting economic hardship we are currently facing, I will deeply appreciate if suggestions can be offered on how to manage feeding allowance of N30000 monthly for a family of 5. Thanks.

Give us a clue as to the ages of the 5 and does this money include stationeries?

Just buy cheap staple foods.Try to buy in bulk and from major markets so you get good quantity.
Most importantly,manage your rations.

@obigene just two adults and three kids. Age range 5- 9 yrs. stationeries not included, just foodstuff.

Wow.. Times are really hard o..

Buy the staples in bulk and draw up a budget for the perishables.

This country sef!

Op is you are in lagos, try buyin your foodstuffs at oyinbo market.

Good. Children at that stage need a lot of protein.

Get milk in carton (Hollandia)
Get egg (2 crates)
Sugar big size (5 )
Buy Lipton (3 packets)

Beans (not familiar with how they sell) 3k
Rice (same as above if you don't have a bag of rice at home)
Spaghetti (a carton)
Garri (5 paints)
Onions
Tomatoes (sachet 1 dozen)
Spices (1k)

Carton of indomie.

Buy and prepare soup things (Egusi should be last for 2 weeks)

Your remaining balance, keep for bread. N300 loaf every 2 days for the kids breakfast.

If they have bread and tea for breakfast, Indomie for lunch and soup dinner.

Occasionally, alternate the dinner between soup, beans and rice.

Please avoid jollof rice. Best you make jollof spaghetti.

This is a rough sketch.

You can't compare Abuja price with Lagos na. Even some of the things Aunty Kemi quoted up there are cheaper in Oyingbo. Abuja is cut-throat price na. My big sis (she's living in Abj) ordered a robe dress for me and herself for 35k each. Something that's not more than 10/15k in Lagos. That's how she just kissed 70k bye-bye.
Me I no go complain, na gift!
