If you live in Nigeria, you already know how unpredictable and hectic life can be. Between endless traffic jams, long work hours, late-night calls with boo, and the constant juggle of family responsibilities, it’s easy for cooking to fall to the bottom of the to-do list.
Eating out every day may seem like the easy way out, but it can get expensive and often unhealthy. On the other hand, cooking fresh meals from scratch daily isn’t realistic for everyone.
That’s where frozen foods come in. Stocking up on frozen foods saves you time and stress from constant market errands and meal prep from scratch, and money because buying in bulk is usually cheaper. From frozen chicken to mixed vegetables and ready-to-fry yam chips, these time-saving staples can make all the difference in your kitchen.
