Crate of egg kwa?
I buy only half crates cos I do not allow my eggs to fully deplete before I buy again.
Also I buy half carton of indomie cos I do not allow my indomie to deplete before I buy again.
Having wines doesn't mean anything, it's individual preference and I only said u need to stock with less amount, wines range from 4k to 20k and more.
So wine was never a big deal, the post was to live frugally and not expensive
If you're living frugally as a bachelor
When will you now enjoy life?
When you're married and your wife and kids become priority?
You need to enjoy yourself to the fullest bro
Buying half here, quarter there is not a sign of good living
Treat yourself well

frugally doesn't mean u are not enjoying na.
U can buy a kilo of chicken at 4k and I buy at N3500, it doesn't mean u are enjoying more.

Frugality is different from miser or mising

What you're describing is bargaining power
Eating frozen chicken is for people struggling
You should buy a live chicken, kill and eat
Especially those Fulani cocks
They go for 15k for one
Frugality means you deny yourself of so many things just to make ends meet
That's not a good life for a bachelor

Wait, the way you live frugally, you wont even afford night bus fares, you may sit atop a truck bearing cattle and foodstuffs to Lagos grin

I know that. And I know that if you buy a full chicken, you will starve next month. Now, are you frugal nor poor?

richmond500:
u can't say u eat 1-2-1 or 011 just because u get off of work on some days.
I also get days I do not go to work and I can eat 1-5-1 but that's is not my eating pattern.

So u are jobless, it's not a crime, many Nigerians are jobless like u
I think you're "fighting" off so many people at the same time you're mixing things up.
I only said I eat 0 - 1 - 1 when I'm busy at work (I don't have time to eat breakfast most mornings) and 1 - 1 - 1 when I'm fully at home. I didn't mention 1- 2 - 1 at all.

And talking about jobs, I don't think I've ever been without one for any time in the past 15 years, and I laughed to myself when you bragged about a 6 figures salary. You know N100,000 is also a 6 figures salary, right? Only people who earn in dollars and other foreign currencies brag about 6 figures. Nigerians brag about 7 figures (N1,000,000 and above ).

I should buy a full chicken, kill it, remove it feathers, roast those down feathers off, put hot water and waste all those times when I could just buy a frozen chicken.
I can't remember the last time is saw someone do that, except in the village also frugality is not denying urself.

Why will you do all that yourself
They do it in the market where you buy it na
Have you not bought live chicken before?
You need to start living bro
You're just getting by
Frugality is a sign of poverty. Both mentally and financially
Stop seeking validation from AI
AI does not know that you can't buy live chicken because you think you have to dress it yourself

As a single person, if I said I sit comfortable in the six figure, then I earn more than half the population of the country and can foot my bills.
I do need to earn 1m monthly.

I told someone I stock my fridge with 45k and they were doubting me, I begin to wonder how people buy things.

First, I buy half crates of eggs at a farm for N3k, then I buy my carrot, watermelon, cucumber apples and other fruits from road side vendors, I spend like N5k for all these is far cheaper than buying in supes.
I buy half carton of indomie at N5k
Then two big breads at N4k
Peak milk refill 3in1 at 4k
Sardine and butter for 7k
Soft drinks wholesale prices 4k
Juice also wholesale prices 7
All of these cannot be more than 45k if u shop well

Custard for 7k and this is the only thing I buy from super market and I don't buy it always because I making custard takes grace lol.
Electricity bill for bandA is 10k and I have fridge, AC and a big tv.
maybe cos of my busy schedule, I only stay at home from 6pm to 6am.

The truth is I spend less than 100k monthly, though I haven't stocked my fridge lately but it's been like 3weeks since I stocked last
Bigot, so you no fit fix your AC wey dey leak water enter your house.

Upon all your tribalism and muguism. Shishi no gum you. grin

it works for everyone.
Supermarket sells Chi exotic and N2,100 but I buy at N1,700.
You realise under Jonathan this same chi exotic was 200 naira and 800 naira the day Tinubu was sworn in ?

It's OK to eat frozen chicken if that's all you can afford
