@tobilifestyle_ If someone told me 60k would only get me rice, semo, garri, and some small small ingredients, I will call them tiffs. You guys won’t believe my budget at the market was 30k. I spent two times my budget and even had to skip buying other essentials. Is this what it has come to? What do you guys think?
