With the cost of commodities, including foods, gradually getting above the means of the common man, Nigerians have continued to lament how difficult it is to survive amid the hardship occasioned by the economy.
Here are, however, five affordable foods that can help Nigerians sustain themselves during the hardship:
Foods to consider amid hardship
Garri
A common food that can be included into various culinary meals, served with soups, or simply consumed as is. It is currently one of the most economical meal items to help you get through the hardship.
Noodles
With just N400, you can purchase two noodles and have them quickly cooked to get through some hours in the day, and stave off hunger.
Bread
For as little as N500, you can buy a loaf of bread and pair it with butter or stew.
Yam
For N1,000 – 1200, you can buy a tuber of yam and eat it twice or three times, depending on how much food you consume.
Vegetables
Amid the hardship, this appears to be a very affordable food option for those who want to cook soup and serve it alongside other solid foods or rice.
