Foodstuff in Nigeria is so expensive now that you would wonder how things will look like in the near future since what goes up in Naija never comes down.....
Can we compare prices of foodstuff from 3 months ago to now? I hear the flood has also contributed to the price increase.....
Which is the cheapest foodstuff now? Where can one buy stuff that is affordable? Are there special markets where people buy stuff and share? Are you a food shopper? Please guide us oh!
Rice and yam is the worse so far
ReplyDeleteI bought 5 big tubers of paper yam N3k on my street. I think yam is cheap in Abuja.
DeleteStella, we're surviving in Nigeria through the special grace of God. I bought Nutri bom for my 1 year & 4 months old baby for #1,100 last week, only to go back yesterday to buy at the rate of #1,200. Meanwhile, I bought the same Nutri bom for #850 early last month. In fact, na only God go help us pull through in this country.
ReplyDeleteNutrition is 1,350 for my area ooo
DeleteNo food is cheap not even garri
ReplyDeleteAll I know is you cant take 20k to the market and get all you need. I don't do list anymore. Buy the need and scrap the wants.
My favourite bread is now #1,000
It is well.
Gbam! buy the need and scrap the want oooo.. that has been my saving grace so far. can't even buy what i crave for again.
DeleteAbsolutely nothing is cheap in the market again. not even sachet (pure) water
Surprisingly last week sat,took 100k to the market and bought a lot,and still had change. For dose that want to buy perishable goods like tomatoes and pepper, and on sat evening to market,dose o es that don't open on Sundays. Many people want to sell so as not to have bad goods on Monday,and it's actually quite affordable.
DeleteIts very bad oooo
ReplyDeleteThe prices are not at it's peak yet. December/Christmas season is yet to come. We should brace up for the worst
ReplyDeleteNa God dey help us in naija now. Even 70k can't get monthly provisions for a family of 4... To cook good soup and Stew now u will spend close to 40k and it's just for a week or two. Abeeg my tired is tired,God help us ooh.
ReplyDeleteNa papa God hand we dey o.we really need miracles in this country cos every one is feeling the pains.
ReplyDeleteI have already replaced yam with unripe plantain , thank God my children love it. I go to Rumuokoro early morning market to get things a little bit cheaper from women that brought directly from village . I paid for thrift and we bought rice and other items since October before the prices skyrocketed
ReplyDeleteThe way food prices are rising now is scary. The cheapest food item now is salt.🙄
ReplyDeleteI deal with and process foodstuffs, and sometimes when I go to the market, I end up buying only a fraction of what I intended to buy because prices had changed from what you bought the previous week.
Not only in Nigria o,, even here in Ghana!! Last 2 weeks I bought a small size U2 salt for ghc 1, currently same salt is at Ghc 2.50, only customers sell it ghc2 because of patronage! Ordering Naija foodstuffs now is a no go area for the faint hearted.
Deletei will go buy Two carton of Oat today, Buy a carton of Chicken to make pepper soup and crate of egg to boil with Agidi that will keep me till next month. I have decided to live by Faith not by sight Stella.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣
DeleteIt is not funny at all but my assurance is Psalm 23"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall NOT want..."

Even in the abroad oh. This year's hyper inflation in the US has been through the roof. Food prices are still ok, but rent, gas/fuel and unemployment rates are high. Car prices and home prices super high, so many job cuts especially in tech industry.
ReplyDeleteQuite scary but I find solace in the word of God.. do not worry about your life, what you shall eat or drink or about your body what you shall wear...
I bought 2 bags of rice , one goat cartons of macreal and hake fish All in Sept. I cannot be having headache for this foodstuff till next year.. will harvest my yam by December atleast after selling I will have enough to last almost till end of next year by Gods grace. God will see everyone of us through this trying times everyone is feeling it o. If you can and have the means invest in agriculture it helps. I don't buy oil, plantain and alotof food n fruits.
