RE: Nigerians Moving to a Stage of Extreme Frugalism - Inflation Hitting Hard

2 years ago

I sent along a tip for your hard work. I really appreciate it. I did have a few questions though.

120 Naira is that the price for one egg?

Rice at 250 Naira per cup? Seems high to me but then I usually purchase in bulk.

Peanut at 120 Naira per kg? Seems way too cheap. Also oatmeal at 250 / kg the same at flour? In Canada Oatmeal is about 3x the price of flour.

Soybean at 1100N/900g that hurts. In bulk 100kg bag it seemed so much cheaper per kg when I was looking online.

But...
..... awesome job! Thank you so much.

Okay. I think I flopped a bit with the unit of measurements here and there.

For egg, the price is 120NGN per egg. Just one (when purchased as a single unit)
For rice, the price is 250NGN per cup, (the cup is about 160g, usually about the size of this Peak Milk container):

For this:

Peanut at 120 Naira per kg? Seems way too cheap. Also oatmeal at 250 / kg the same at flour?

They are for about the same cup referenced for rice above not per kg.

The container in the picture is usually cut open and used as a standard for measurement for "cups" in most Nigerian markets

Ouch. I was hoping you were right about Peanut and Oatmeal being price per kg... then eating becomes easier. If per cup...I'm certainly looking at buying bulk. No way to feed yourself at those prices in small quantity. Well, at least flour and sugar are reasonable that gives a starting point.

Thanks again.
