In this market shopping/review haul, I carried you guys along to Rumokoro Market here in Port Harcourt on the 4th of November, 2025 (I even started around 7:30am). I showed the current cost of food in Nigeria and what N200,000 can do for a family like mine. Honestly, November don enter and you can already feel that “December is coming” effect—prices are already trying to skyrocket, especially on things like fish and chicken. I bought the kind of things a Nigerian mom really stocks: palm oil (my palm oil lady’s own is rich and good), bonga fish, smoked catfish, plantain, yam, mixed grains for akamu/pap, garri, onions, okra, oza leaves, perinko, fruits for my kids, and kitchen basics like spaghetti, Maggi crayfish, salt, and 1-liter Golden Terra oil. I also showed you how I buy provisions like milk and Milo—half carton, shared into rows—so I can control usage and manage the house properly. My biggest takeaway is this: if you want to shop cheaper, go early, negotiate with sense, and be ready to move if the price is not working for you. And if you’re planning for December like me, buy what your house can finish for November, so nothing is left wasting space before the big December market.
