Should I gain weight or maintain it - Splurge On A Little Food

Hello everyone.

Welcome to my blog.

Have you heard about Be Frugal not Stingy community?
Check out it's first writing Contest
It's a fun one to engage with, don't miss out.

The week's Topic is :
If you found a little bit of money and wanted to splurge on a little food treat , what would you buy? Ice cream? Pizza? Street food? Or perhaps head to the market and buy a delicacy you don't normally buy.

What would you get?
How much would it cost?
Is there a special reason you like it?


When I saw these questions I smiled and wanted to jump in and respond quick.
I later discovered that I currently have three options to choose one.
I will share the three things and still choose one.

The first is shawarma and fanta.
You smiled right?
Yes, I am among the ladies that love shawarma especially beef shawarma.

Hopefully if the money is upto #1500($3.2) we are good to go.
I can get beef shawarma for #1200($2.6) and a bottle of fanta for #200($0.4)

The second one is suya.
Suya is a spiced meat sold by mostly the Northerners street vendors.

I love it because is spicy and dry, and munched to filling.
It is sold for various prices ranging from #300 ($0.6) to above.

I can get suya of #500($1.08) and a bottle of fanta #200($0.4) to enjoy.

The third is Fruit salad.
Ingredients and prices for my fruit salad.

  1. Banana - #200($0.4)
  2. Watermelon - #100($0.22)
  3. Cucumber - #100(0.22)
  4. Groundnut - #100($0.22)
  5. Pawpaw - #100($0.22)
  6. Tin milk - #400($0.87)
    Everything summing upto #1000($.2.15)


So among the three I will go for Fruit salad.
This makes a whole meal for me. Mouth watering and delicious.

It can be rotational though but for now, I will go for the third one.
Because is more healthy.

So, what about you?
Share with us, I will love to know.

That's it for now.
See you some other time.

Thank you very much for stopping by.

Ladies like shawarma eeeeh!🤧

Here in my state, you can't find suya of 300naira. It's from N500 upwards. Oil state 🏋️.

Nice budgeting and calculation.

Let me see if it's something I can write

Yes oo
I am one of them.
Well, I will say it really depends on the place.
Like in a big place where you can always get suya be it in the morning, it's sold from #1000 and above.

Waiting to read from you.

I think I'd go with the Suya myself. I love my meats and I love my soda's. Not sure of you have Pepsi or Coca cola as that would be preferred...but orange fanta is good too. Curious though...how large is the fanta in the picture? is says 50 cl. Can I assume that is short for centiliter? Or 1/2 liter? Just curious because we only use ml (milliliter) here in Canada.

Yes, we have Pepsi and coca cola here as well.
I just love fanta.
It's centiliters.
I love suya too, but let me stick with fruit salad for now.

You've made a great selection. Fruit salad is nutritious. The other options too are cool. Nice one.
