If I had only ₦5,000 to feed myself for three days, this is what I would buy.
I would focus on foods that are filling, affordable, and can make more than one meal.
Shopping List (Approx. ₦5,000)
Rice (1kg) – ₦1,800
Beans (500g) – ₦900
Garri (500g) – ₦500
Eggs (4) – ₦1,200
Tomatoes, pepper, and onion – ₦600
Meal Plan
Day 1
Breakfast: Garri with cold water
Lunch: Rice with tomato stew and one egg
Dinner: Beans
Day 2
Breakfast: Garri
Lunch: Rice and beans
Dinner: Beans with pepper sauce
Day 3
Breakfast: Garri
Lunch: Rice with one egg
Dinner: Rice and beans
This plan may not be perfect, but it should keep me full for three days while staying within the budget.
