How Much I Spend
I spend an average of 35,000 naira whenever i don't cook, but i have realized that i spend 20k whenever i cook frequently in a particular month.

Because of my erratic work schedule( no time during the day) i had to get someone to shop and cook for me weekly, was wondering if any career person has had that challenge too.

Please share with us:

1)do you use a shopping list?
2)how much you spend ?
2)how often do you shop, weekly or monthly?
3)can you pay someone to shop for you if your job does not give you time?

waiting for replies

When I was in school, I spend about 17k monthly on feeding, of course I don't cook, but working, in the morning, I don't eat, but for lunch, #300-500 depending on my mood. Then dinner, I just take 5 balls of garri, or half cup of rice, with stew, I spend an average of 12-15k

wow, that's a good one!, cereals help to cut cost for me whilst still giving me the boost i need for work. I guess you are not married. so you find time to cook?

In my house everyone works.wat u do is do monthly shopping for your groceries like meat.chicken.shripms.liver.fish.egusi.ogbono.achi.etc in large quantity enough to last a month.put in the frezzer.
then on you way home from work on Fridays buy ur vegetables.do your cooking on sunday morn.try wake up early.portion the soup and stew into small plastics for 3-4person and freeze them.
I come from a large family
hope i helped

50 to 100 k ..... Buying cereals and the children's milk is what makes my expenditures higher than I would want. My children prefer cereals.

Not married, but I love home food, and not a fan of indomie and junks, I love eba, with egusi, and ewedu sorts like that.

Laroyalhighness, do you shop in bulk and how often do you do that?, i guess it could reduce your expenditures greatly

Yes I shop in bulk..... But I can't afford to buy a carton of milk, cereals etc.... I just buy about 5-7 tins at a go. I shop monthly but if I run out of stuffs before the end of the month, I get more.
