One way I cope is by reducing some of the things I spend money on. Right now, I only eat out when it is absolutely the last option. Food in fastfood restaurants are now more costly. A plate of good food is around 3500 now. Then, seeing that I spend a lot on fuel, I bought a power bank to help boost my phone and its really working. Finally, am working harder to make more money. If I increase my income, it will be easier to cope with more spending
What do you think about the moves above @ngobaby, @beauty197, @zeal72, @brainbrian @empressjay, @wendy-t
That's a great idea. Hope you are not spending more on fuel since you bought a new power bank? So, eating at home instead of restaurants is the best way to safe. Infact, I manage what I have now and work hard to make more
Yes the power bank is doing very great. I spend less on fuel now. Home food is cheaper and healthier. Yes we need multiple streams of income to.cope with our higher bills. Do you think of starting another side business or working harder on the one you are doing?
Am working harder on the one am doing already. Then am thinking of going into farming too
You are strong on farming and has experience. Its cool because the family eats and save money on food. What crops will you consider raising as a farmer?
the most important thing is reducing expenses and increasing income, else mmadu alaaa village
I started boiling my drinking to cut cost, anything that is not relevant I avoid them, I only do what I know is very important.
This is really cool. Instead of buying sachet or bottle water, boiling is a cheap water to obtain healthy water. How do you cope with energy bills and the cost of garri?
Energy bills are compulsory but garri I don't buy Everytime ooo, I have reduced my eating, I did moimoi yesterday that's another way to cut cost.
Yes cheaper foods like moimoi help us save some money. Can I ask how much you spend on energy bills?
i spent 4000 per month
Yes once I make the moimoi in a large container I put it in my freezer.
in addition to cutting cost boiling water is a lot more hygienic to human health
Am even boiling it now
hahhahahah, enjoy oo
You have a point. But I'm more interested in the more money part, do you know of any openings?
I think this is one
I especially agree with you on that aspect of eating out. Making my meals at home has helped to cut off unnecessary spending on takeouts. It is also a gpod thing to have an extra source of income
Yes, inflation has affected restaurants too. They sell less food for more. And thanks so much for helping us with food at home. You are shaming our leaders, hahahaha.
Please 😅 😅
Shaming indeed.
Fast and serious shaming. They think sey we go loose weight? We dey add self.
this days is, buy only what is in the budget
No impulse buying right? And the list od budget must be carefully and prayerfully arranged, isnt it?
if you don't plan well you are on your own, hunger don't know anybody when it comes
as in eh, that should be the pattern nowadays
yes naa, unless hungry will wire you die
and the government is doing little to nothing to help out
Thats a nice strategy, i got a power bank too, now takes lunch to work, smile, i now prefer to treck to work and back home because of the high cost of transportation
Waooo, you have some really nice strategies to reduce cost. That lunch saves a lot of money because of food costs
Yes oo, food are
I can relate to that! Eating out has become quite pricey, and the same goes for fuel costs. Home made lunch is the best – not only does it save money, but I find it's often better in both quantity and quality.
No food is better than home food. A big thumbs up to @empressjay for always doing a great job with our food. I will add money for her future husband on that hahahaa. Yes we need to save on fuel and work harder to make more money. We are coping
My future husband go really suffer for your hand. Maybe I should open an eatery since I have the cooking skill. How much should I sell my own plate of rice?
Hahahaha. Her future husband, please dont fear wherever you are because....
...because I am a child of God.
You will do a standard eatery. So with the price of stuffs now, your plate of rice should be NGN3,500
I will employ you as my financial manager. You just pass the interview. How much do want me to be paying you?
Hope I will not finish your food after eating 3 square meals everyday for 1 month? Do I even need salary?
HAH!
How many coolers do you want to be eating everyday. Enterprise wey I never set up, you don tell me how e go crash
Totally agree! @empressjay's cooking is a lifesaver. 😄 And adding money for her future husband? That's thoughtful! We're all in this together, saving on fuel and hustling for a better future.
Village people everywhere. They're now into Tech, nowhere is even safe anymore.
Maybe they're just trying to catch up with the trends, or perhaps they're trying to program some positive vibes.
