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.

please what is wrong with jollof rice? Because I cook it a lot

5 litres of vegetable oil 2400 ke! Haaaaaaaa, are they killing us in this Abuja or your calculation is off?

Her calculations are not the same with the one in Abuja here because a crate of egg is 900-1k
5 litter of groundnut oil is 2800 for whole sale price oo
And so on.

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!

Thanks my sister,that is why I said the price in my area which is the current price.Even we have egg of 1k per crate,but I prefer bigger size,dats why I wrote dat #1,200.Things in mile 2 and Oyingbo market are cheaper.

Lol. Nothing at all. I guess, cooking stew will be more economical to the family based on their budget than going for d jollof.

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.

Food portion for everyone must be reduced drastically like

3cups of garri should serve the 5 at a go.

6 cups of rice should serve two meals for the family

2 slides of bread should be okay for each member for drinking tea.

Eating small food is even health

Beans is a life saver, buy enough
