If ur wife is not working, go to the market urself to buy bulky essentials...most house wives inflat prices to get pocket money
. This part made me quarrel with my wife last night when I went to get garri for the family myself just to find out price of garri has come down since meanwhile they have been collecting high from me for that all these while.

Buying in bulk is a good idea but it also has its shortfall. When food is plenty in the house, most wives become wasteful. I bought a bag of rice, and was surprised that in less than a month it was finished. I had to go back to buying in small buckets.





We are truly in hard times. Sir, if you can squeeze out a budget of 1 million and buy all the dry ingredients in bulk. Thus, monthly, you would spend less than 50k on perishables.

You could buy Rice in bags, meats in bulk (half cow, full goat, etc)
Bulk shopping for 6 months saves cost.


Need I also say that a scale of preference needs to be drafted out and implemented. If I had a family, we would go minimal on cereals because those are actually poisonous to our bodies. That can be replaced with healthier alternatives.
True, am the one that eats the cold left over eba, i drink the half pure waters, but as a head of the house, you have to make it a rule and you must be stern and decisive about it unless maybe you don't know how painful it is to be seeing your hard earned cash in this regime of tpain going out like bet9ja visual loss, our people says, "NA FOWL WEY
DE LAY EGGS, NA ONLY IM GO KNOW THE WAY IM NYANSH DE PAIN AM FOLLOW"


My wife will rather leave it so I can see it, instead of wasting, omo the day she tried it, the house no contain anybody.

my bruh, you have everything plan out already in this tpain era, kudos to you 👍
Buying in bulk helps a lot. I tell people feeding money in the house is different from flexing money, don't calculate all of them together. For an instance they are paying you 500k as salary earner and once you receive your salary you will be going from one fast food to another, you start going from one bar, hotel to another then later you will say house feeding is consuming your money , that 500k is not enough to feed for a month, food stuff are expensive, " are you the only one buying the food stuff in the market " when they're done wasting their money on unnecessary things they will blame it all on taking of family. Don't mind all this yeye people
True, if anyone can't spend 20k wisely, he definitely can't spend 20 million wisely either

In this regime of tpain, one has to be prepared for anything, but most importantly FOOD, in my case, I don't even wait for the stock to be depleting before I top the petty petty things like egusi, ogbono, crayfish, peppers, onion, potatoes etc at work or anywhere i see those malams rolling their wheelbarrows with any of those items, omo i de buy with the small change i hold that moment.

We know food is very expensive now, but if we are talking that amount of money, it would be enough to get foodstuffs that would sustain a family of 6 for a month or even two. And yes Am talking about the south that foodstuffs are even more expensive.

Politics › Re: Tax Reform Bills Must Not Benefit Few States, Penalise Others –Atiku by skywalker240(m): 7:40pm On Dec 01, 2024
emmyN:
Yeah, this is one grey area I noticed in the bill. The biggest beneficiary would be Lagos because they generate the most tax.

The oil-producing state of the south-south need to diversify their economies. You would be surprised the amount of money that would be realized if they plugged all leakages and appropriate funds to their rightful channels.

The 13% derivation they get presently is grossly underutilized, most finding their ways into private pockets.

Also, the reps from the south-south region are sitting ducks. They don't speak up for their regions. I remember a time when oil corporations were mandated to site their headquarters in the region they generate their revenues. This was never followed through. So you see, Lagos is benefitting from what could have been accrued to the south.

The bill is a wakeup call. All hands must be on deck.
The south south representatives are the ones you see always sleeping at the hall when important matters are been discussed

I need to get a Solar.... Bros, what's the cost implications
I got mine when it was cheaper, (225k) and it's not even off grid, it came with 3 bright LED lights and powers TV, phone, laptops and fan that's all. I charge my phone, they watch their TV and everyone is okay and satisfied, I paid on instalments. So I can't say much on off grid solars

To get something like it now will cost you close to 600k, I regret why I didn't opted for the off grid one though when it was cheaper. presently getting a decent off grid with battery, inverter and panels will definitely cost you close to or even above a million naira

As for the cost effects, aside the monthly installments i paid for almost one year, nothing else, they gave me warranty for a year and half.

for nairaland everybody na billionaires, they will tell you 1m is not enough for a month.
The worst part of it all is that most of them don't even have 40k in their account
God Bless You Sir 🤗


As for me, i buy all the necessary major foodstuffs, like rice,(alot of times half bags) Bean's, yams, Palm Oils and Vegetables oils five gallon of 3 litres is enough for us for 4 months, sachet Maggie, sachet tomatoes cartons, salt's, i buy dried peppers in large quantities and ground them, i don't buy noodles even when my Wife complains, I just buy yoghurts and some cereals for my baby

I get these stuff's from depot's/warehouse or where it's been sold for wholesale or cheaper prices

As for garri (very much mostly internationally important) i go to the farm, most times we get a bag

When we were having light constantly back then, i do go to the slaughter house and buy maybe 20k meat and put it inside the refrigerator (not now again)

But truth is, i don't spend even up to 50k a month for feeding, because the basics are readily available.

My motto (actually i learnt it from my Father)

EVEN IF MONEY NO DE HAND, SOFA MAKE FOOD DE HOUSE

The one thing that drain's finance now is fuel, and I have parked my car and now I use the ever increasing transport, i don't do Gen, solar got me covered.


One thing again, I'll advise someone shift to hot plates and coal pots when cooking Bean's, corn, Palm kernel seeds and anything that takes age to get off the fire, because nowadays even topping up your gas to it's fullest has become something else.

When you people are ready, you'll start going after the politicians who are responsible for all these.

Once again if you voted for Buhari and then Tinubu, it will not be well with you. If you did the above and have traveled out of Nigeria, you'll be deported by God's grace to enjoy the change you supported.
