vexing:

If you monetise the things mentioned above, I bet you will be spending about 30k weekly. You didn't add transportation for yourself

That is why most people spend a lot of money weekly. What we normally do is to buy those food stuffs when they are newly harvested (cheap) abd store them.

For instance, we bought 45 mudus of beans last yr at 400 naira per mudu. I don't even think we have consumed up to 20 mudus. As I speak, a mudu of beans is around 850 in my area. Same goes for corn, millet, egusi, etc.

This idea help me to save money and avoid unnecessary spending.

As for transportation, I don't count transportation as part of running cost for the home. Besides, I have a car and I do pick passengers on my way to work and on my way home. The fees I charge my passengers will covers for fueling and maintenance. If I don't feel like driving, I will go and follow our staff bus..
Everything for this bubu regime na sense o.

I thought y'all didn't like feminists. What happened?

This same NL that when a woman mentions how she spends you people will drag her and say she's bragging that when a woman spends she tells the world.

Lmao.

2 bags of sachet water for 2,200?
That amount should be for 10 bags at 220 each and I see no way 10 bags won’t last your family for 3 weeks or little less.
How much is a carton or half carton of Bobo and biscuit that you are spending 5k a week for?
Its either your wife is using your head or I smell lies with this your list
I think he meant 20 bags of sachet water though.

after making soup, most expenditure is on semo, eba, rice and other food, toiletries and other provision.

There is nowhere in Nigeria, mostly in the south that 20 bags of pure water is sold for 2,200.
Even if it’s 20 bags, that means a family of 5 consuming 20 bags of pure water in a week, 7 days? That’s about 3 bags daily, which means each of them in the family consumes 12 sachet of pure water daily?
The guy list is simply full of lies

It’s normal, it’s costlier to live in Ghana than in Nigeria. Speaking from experience

A bag of satchet water is sold for 150 naira in my area. So 20 bags cost 3000. So, it's definitely plausible for that amount. Although it depends on ones area of residence.

I'm a serving Corp member.. still single but I spent #2,200 per week in Benue grin
Thank you! I don't know if there are so many liars here or it's because I'm in Benue. I'm married with a son and a car and I don't spend close to the amount these guys are stating here. Is it that they buy shoes and clothes every week? They don't have basic food stuff at home and eat out at expensive restaurants every week? Go to hospital every week etc, or how? Yes, there are times you spend even more than these amounts in just a single day, but saying you spend 30k EVERY WEEK, haba. I could understand if they include transport if they're staying in cities like Lagos, Abuja, etc but I once lived and worked in Abuja too when I was single and I didn't spend that much..... and I de drink sef. People are this rich yet cry everyday that there's hunger? It's either they don't know how to manage or they're just telling plain internet lies.

My weekly expenses. Family of 4
A....15k to my wife weekly. The breakdown below:
8k for soup
2k for egg
2,500 for extra
2,500 my wife's transportation

B...10k for fuel weekly
7k for car
3k for generator

C....10k minimum for Demand on Whatsapp list that I receive every night. This is for things in like
Diapers, bread, sachet water, kids biscuits and juice and fruits e.t.c

D... Monthly, I spend minimum of 50k to buy food stuff like rice, garri, semo, beans, yam, Noddles, spaghetti e.t.c. So, if dividend by 4, it's 12,500 weekly.

E...3500 for house maintenance
I.e 1500 for refuse disposal
2000 for prepaid meter

F....4500 for filling of gas

G...Rent is 20k monthly

My Total: 15k + 10k +10k +12500+3500+4500+20k= 75,500 weekly

Note: this is in a week where I didn't buy drugs. My wife takes care of other needs for the kids like cereal, custard, milk, soap to wash cloth and bath, cream, making of hair weekly from her salary

It ain't easy.

What makes you think I'm on it?

Forget that thing, the OP didn't include that area in his question, i.e he didn't include money we send to our loved ones etc.

He said money spent running your immediate family i.e those living with you.
