Depressed101:
i dont think so, maybe location differences, i tell you I would love to spend less on food, but it's practically impossible for me, because a good plate of food is 600 above here

where are you?

Kobojunkie:
I don't know about N150 rice and beans.

Jollof rice and porridge beans on top.

annayawchee:

ABJ

Depressed101:
ABJ

Well the hardship is everywhere

There are days when I cross 1k o

Lol

2k/3k if am alone

I cook and I buy in bulk to save cost. So, I spend less.

I spend 40 ghana cedis everyday and it's really not easy

Terrier99:
I spend between 7k to 15k daily. I usually don't eat much, mostly bought to help people.

Today now, bought food in the morning, 3k. Didn't eat anything, gave it to 2 friends. This afternoon, bought Pizza for my client's kids. Ate just a slice of it. Another 6k gone. Tonight now, I never know. Some of my friends are coming over. Those ones will eat too.

Kobojunkie:
600-800 Is about $1.25 a day. And this is for how many people?

@Kubojunkie, you cannot just do a direct conversion like this to determine Nigerian standard of living. In macroeconomic, there is a term called purchasing power parity (PPP). It is the metric for determining the same amount of goods that can be purchased by individual country's currency. For example, the food we can buy $1 in Nigeria might be worth $10 in the US. So $1 in Nigeria is worth 10 times the value in the US.

But I did no such thing as that which you claim there in bold.

I simply converted the currency to a representation that I am more comfortable with so I can get a clearer picture of what everyone is saying with all the K's and many zeros to confuse things.

Sincerely this topic is worth discussing, cos the food prices is affecting the legit hustlers real hard
God punish those people that collected 500 election money.

You spend less whn you eat healthy sha couple with intermittent fasting...No disease fashion against you shall prosper.

Limassol:
Many totalled what they spent on food(including fruits and vegetables, meat, diary and so on, plus eating out atleast once a week, for those that mostly cook) then divide it by 30 Days, hence the somewhat high expense.

.

Mehn, I don't actually see money I spend on food as an expenditure of sort. I stopped doing that when I fell really ill for months. I promised myself if I got out of it, I would take care of myself. Unless I don't have the money at all. I understand prudence, but I can't sit to calculate money I spend on food, No. I am not the junk type tho.

Apart from the fact that I got a Personal chef,I spend heavily on buying food outside.

I love Asian food a lot...

MARX77:


Sometimes you explain these things to people and it looks like you're the "brokest". I kuku nor send person oo, I can cook food I can eat so who fit afford to de eat out, make e run am...lol

My brother... Sapa has called his people from the village and they are running people streets these days, man gats hold em money right

I just keep wondering how people with many children and little income are coping with the way things are. Even people that have decent incomes are feeling the heat too.

I was looking for oloyin beans today round my local market , the last ABOKI I asked from told me arrh madam e no dey, e too cost that woman there(points 2 shops away) get yesterday but na 4,200 she sell paint and derica 800 and e don finish sef.

I now started looking at the orishirishi beans displayed.
Take this one madam and I ask wetin be the name, this one na potkissum e dey sweet like oloyin, you sure ? Yes madam na him all my oloyin customers dey buy, how much oo, na 2,800

Oya Bring one paint,

Lots of parents can't even afford to boil one egg for their children's meal again.

Bluewitch:





I consider food very important....

And I thought it was weird to consider food important. Make I nor lie, food takes the biggest chunk of my monthly earnings. I am tired of being an adult.

i buy food stuffs in bulk so i dont know how much i spend daily, but i guess 600 naira if am to do a rough estimate, and i love beans and i may end up falling sick if i miss eating beans anyday

Spherical77:
Lol.. 3k would take me roughly 2 weeks. That's the condition I found myself in

How many times do you eat in a day?

Ballack1:
250,I only eat once in a day

Once in a day keh?

UyaiIncomparabl:

Somehow I consider it weird...but on the other hand I still value...

My biggest spending remains on food

For me 800-1k daily on God e no easy

Between N800 and 1k

Me #2,500 on daily basis

You dont eat out?
We that our madams work, almost no time to cook. Everyone sorts out theirself. If chance de we cook, even me de cook. But mostly we order from nearby restaurants or drive out for buffet.

annayawchee:
The high inflation rate has almost rendered the naira useless and purchasing power is at is
worse and the hardship is biting too hard.

I spend 600- 800 naira everyday on food enough and it's barely enough.

How much do you spend?

2k daily or more

faith551:


I mean the lowest you can get a decent food here. ( A canteen). A plate of just rice and beans goes for #350.

No meat?
Cos at roadside mama put in Lagos ₦100 for meat, average restaurant ₦350
