Married lady cooks stew with N1,000
Many viewers expressed disbelief at how she used such a small amount to feed her household, while others focused on how she accepted the money from her husband without murmuring.
In the clip shared by the TikTok creator known as @sharonstv, she disclosed that her husband handed her the N1,000 and asked her to make stew for everyone at home.
She decided to film the experience from start to finish, showing her skill in budgeting and market strategy.
She left for the market, displayed the cash she was given, and worked out how best to spend it.
She explained that she hoped to meet the traders she often bought from, as they usually offered her lower prices.

According to her, this played a role in determining whether the amount would be enough.
During her market run, she purchased dried bonga fish using half of the money, picked up onions from an Hausa vendor, and bought fresh tomatoes with what remained. She also bought a small portion of crayfish to enhance the flavour.
After gathering all the ingredients, she returned home and started preparing the stew, recording the cooking process step by step until the pot was ready.
The lady said:
"My husband gave me N1,000 to make a pot of delicious stew for the whole family. Follow me let's go to the market and see if this N1,000 will be enough to make a pot of stew. I prayed to see my customers at the market because buying from my customers will make me get the foodstuffs very cheap. I bought bonga fish for N500, I bought onions N300 from my Hausa friend, I bought fresh tomatoes N200, crayfish N100. Then I headed back home I my kitchen and started cooking. And that's how I cooked the stew."
