5 Budget Shopping Tips

1. Go early morning: Prices lower, best picks available
2. Buy in bulk: 2kg rice cheaper than 1kg x 2
3. Negotiate politely: “Aunty, make I get small discount?” works!
4. Avoid packaged goods: Loose palm oil cheaper than bottle
5. Cook once, eat twice: Double stew, freeze half

With proper planning, ₦5k can feed one person well for a week. No stress!
