Food prices keep rising in Nigeria, but many people in Ibadan still spend more than necessary because they don’t know the right places to buy.

The truth is:

Some markets in Ibadan sell foodstuff far cheaper than others — especially if you know the right time and section to enter.

Many smart buyers now go to:

• Early morning wholesale sections

• Hidden foodstuff lines inside major markets

• Farmers’ direct-selling spots

• Evening discount areas before traders close

In Ibadan, places people often mention for cheaper foodstuff include:

• Bodija Market

• Oje Market

• Sango Market

• Dugbe Market

• Aleshinloye Market food section

• Ojoo roadside foodstuff sellers

What many people still don’t know is:

• The best day to buy food in bulk

• The safest sellers to avoid fake or mixed rice

• Why prices change before weekends and festive periods

• The exact time traders reduce prices

• How transport costs secretly affect market prices

For example:

Pepper, tomatoes, onions, beans, and garri can cost less very early in the morning than later in the day.

Some traders even lower prices in the evening instead of carrying unsold goods home.

Smart buyers in Ibadan no longer buy based only on convenience.

They buy based on information.
