The price of food stuff is increasing by the day and to cook for a family now is money. Just imagine how much a family of six spends on food daily.

People no longer even eat thrice daily, if two time manage come out everybody go manage


An average Nigerian family must learn how to cut corners when it comes to this food matter so that at least they can eat good food without spending soo much.


Meal planning, budgeting, bulk shopping, prepping and preservation are the gateway to spending less money and time in the kitchen.


Markets in Lagos where you can get foodstuffs in bulk and at cheaper prices are :

Mile 12: you see all those perishables, if you want them fresh and way cheaper than what you will buy in your area, this is the place.


Oyingbo: I never see the soup wey you want cook wey the ingredients no dey this market. Especially soups from the Eastern and Southern parts of Nigeria.


You want crayfish in bulk? Fish of different types and shapes? Dried or fresh? Liverpool is the place to be.


There are other markets that are central for different locations too. Like Mushin, Iyana Iba, Ile-epo, Ikotun, and the likes.


For beef and the likes, there are abattoirs scattered all over, popularly called Odo-eran. Just locate the one closer to you.



Stocking up monthly or bi-weekly is the way forward. You get to buy food items at the wholesale prices, which would save you some money and of course stress of always going to get in bits.




The major challenge of buying in these markets is that a lot of people don't have the money to buy at large quantities, all you have to do is collaborate with other people who need items from the same market and you guys buy together and share.


Also, it is one thing to know where these markets are, it's another thing to understand how the market operates and know the nooks and crannies of the market. If not, even in market like Mile 12, you might end of buying expensive stuff.

Hello there, thanks for the post, nice one !!
But quick question, where is LIverpool located, you just said it but I don't think I know the place.
Please you need to give like updated information like where these places are, cuz some people might not know of them. I know alot of them, but not all.
Also I came here to know where I can buy like cartons things, like Indomie, sardines, geisha, Spagetti and things.
Also where we would be able to buy provisions and household items at retail amount but at almost wholesale prices.
Apart from the family something you talked about as the reason we should stock up (you are so right, as this post is even more valid in 2023), I want to buy for reselling also. So please I would like that that you update your post or reply to this one. Thanks
Hope you are well and I hope to hear from you soon.
