buffalowings:


Well it depends on where you live

Where I'm staying currently, to make stew that will last me 3 days will cost 100,
Though I'm only talking about the cost of tomatoes and pepper.

I can't dream of that in the south.

Cool

cooking me alone stew 2 days ago cost me #970 without transport and is going to finish today, then i began to wonder if its for the family how much will it cost...jesu gba wa lowo awon asebi

cant imagine life in calaba yet i dont have transport to go back to my EKO where i belong, anyway i don take my decision, until the day i see mini minister of economics before i marry(am sure you grab)

nma24:

nma24:

Even me sef. OK let's calculate Efo 3=#150 rodo and tomatoes-#100 panla fish-#200 total #450 Na to borrow garri for my neighbor hand remain o!!!

SAMBARRY:
500 naira can cook soup it's only that it won't be rich and it won't last for more than three days or maximum of a week
If you 're good at prudent spending you can buy tomato-200 naira
Atarodo-50 naira
Onions -10naira
Grinding -70

Did u say onions 10naira?


There is no 10 naira onion in the market again sef.


Everything is now expensive. The prices keeps going up everyday.

its a pity tho.

The change is here!!!

Acidosis:
Yes, economy is harsh but majority of the stuffs you have there can be done with N500.

With the exemption of Soup & fuel/generator, every other thing can be done with N500.

Everyone is not as wasteful as t-billz abeg. Meanwhile, N500 cannot make an OK Soup, unless you want to substitute fish with crayfish. A kilo of Fish (Titus) now cost N800; same with Chicken (N800); Turkey (N900) and Gizzard (N1000).

So where would money for other ingredients come from?

buy shawa,panla instead of kote or meat or ponmo

wizflower:
When last did you visit the market, 2014 I guess. Visit now and rewrite your post about oil, egusi and even garri. You be man or woman sef

his list is correct,I even buy egusi for 100(Yoruba) and 140(igbo),2 cups each,garri is #20 per cup(milk cup)...so he's right

tonquendo4u:
Spaghetti is 250 now.

#250 where?...btw buy power pasta instead of dangote or golden penny.#160/#180 at most

SAMBARRY:
I've not finished
Pomo 5 pieces for 100 naira remaining 70naira.buy maggi 20 naira.Palm oil 50 naira. Stew Don ready na

Then how will you get the "okele" to chorp the soup??

FullDepth1:



After you use the #500 cook stew finish, you go use Sand chop am Abi you no go buy Rice

Sambarry, tell those people say 500 naira Na only for Buka you fit buy

Amala - 3wraps = #150
Ponmo kan, Eran meji = #150
Pure water - #10

Total --------- #310

ur own buka dey expensive ooo over here at my work place its just
amala 3wraps- #60
meat 2 pieces- #40
pure water 1- #10
total- ---------- #110...

mengho:
op were in d world do you live, the most expensive hair cut is like 3oo naira with gen, if nepa bring light it won't even pass 150, And I prepare a very good stew with meat for like 500 naira, by d way I usaully buy seasonings,rice, indomie, beans & all other small household things in large bulks when the year begins costs atleast 69k altogether but it's a good thing since it lasts atleast 1.5 years b4 I do it again. I just hope it won't be above 100k next year due to inflation.

No need for chickens, I own a bird's farm. Things are such cheap in d rural areas it's just baffles me how people just want to live in large cities were even a bag of pure water is almost 200 naira as opposed to the 60-70 naira we enjoy here. Chai north dey sweat woh

North sweet die! where in the north do u reside?

Why do you people just like exaggerating things? Guys still get haircuts for N300. And when I had typhoid last month, I treated it with N350 (one pack of Cenox, and the small pack of Tinizol). Also, N500 can cook Ela Alasepo with half kilo of fish/chicken...that is definitely under 500 naira. I know things are hard in the country, but painting things worse than they actually are won't help us in the long run. Stop spreading negative vibes.

RadicallyBlunt:
N500 no reach transport from igando to obalende again for lagos. As in 'go' alone o no be 'go and come' o

That's a lie. I stay in that area. Igando to Egbeda is N100, Egbeda to Oshodi is N150 or N200 depending on the time. And Oshodi to Obalande is N150. Stop spreading falsehood.
