skywalker240:

Wetin Man go do

Sometimes when I go to work at a site very far from my residence, I'll buy their food

God go see us through

ashewoboy:




Another angle here. You wan marry?

Tallesty1:
Hard to tell now. The reason I still prefer cooking to eating out is because that's the only way I can be SURE of what I am eating.

ashewoboy:



Why?

skywalker240:

When you cook soup and Stew with 4k as a single man it will last you 4days,

When you spend 1k5 for four day's then you'll agree with me that cooking is better on the long run

Stallionhorse:
Try eating in mega chicken for one week 3 times a day.. Then come and tell us how your account looks like..

skywalker240:

When I was a still a single bachelor, i don't even buy up to that figure and it last me a month and some weeks

Acidosis:


Mega chicken sef is the cheapest place to eat in Lagos. With N700, you get a plate of rice (jollof or fried) with chicken (drumstick).

Usually, when people make this sort of comparison, na iya basira or mama fejiro level o.

genii96:


Ok, soup and stew, for 4k for 4 days, I am going to assume all the meat is included too?

So, the rice/yam/eba you also buy and cook, you don't count that cost?

This is also assuming you only want to eat the exact same thing for 4 days, if not, you end up buying both rice and yam anr potato, etc

Now I am also assuming you have a freezer so you dont need to warm both the Stew and soup everyday too



1k is enough to feed you for a day at an eatery, no one is talking about fancy restaurants

Bread+beans+meat can't pass 350 tbh, and this will fill you up well

#300 rice, #100 plantain, ponmo/meat for #100 at the evening


Then ofcourse you can change your menu, fufu+soup, #300-#350

Then whatever you eat at night

Nanorest:


Shut up I am in Benin and meat is 100 Naira. I don't spend more than 400 Naira to eat well in a local restaurant

Allisgud:

ashewoboy:

aalangel:

ashewoboy:

ashewoboy:

genii96:

Now I stay with a family member

ashewoboy:



How did you cope? Through out, you did not cook? Where did you serve? Which state? Was your allowance enough to cater for your feeding?

ashewoboy:



Be my friend na. Let me check you out whether you are in the market abi you are no more appealing. I'm in your mail.

Hausa:
You no see sey she don marry.
Can a married woman still be in the market?
Or am I missing something?

Bluezy13:
Eating out is more cost effective.

Additionally, you get to eat varieties.

For example,
You can use N3,000 to cook a restaurant standard soup minus Eba. Then you keep eating the same soup over and over.
But with that N3,000, you can eat rice, okro soup, eat melon, eat bitterleaf soup at different times plus garri in a restaurant or mamaput depending on your location...if we are to assume a plate of food to be N500. You can add extra if you want.

Notwithstanding the gas, water, stress and time used to cook that food. And imagine warming a pot of soup over and over for someone without a refrigerator or electricity let alone the cost of fuel and maintenance of generator if inclusive.

But if two or more persons are involved, cooking is preferable.

It is worthy of note that the criterion for judgement here is relating eating out to cooking considering a particular amount of money.
