If you live in Lagos, you know that shopping for food is both an essential routine and sometimes an exhausting adventure. The bustling stalls of Mile 12, Oyingbo, and Balogun markets are filled with sounds, colours, and aromas that make Lagos truly unique. But alongside the vibrancy lies the constant challenge every shopper faces: rising food prices and unpredictable costs.
What if there was a way to cut through the stress, save money, and still get all the staples your family needs—without bargaining under the hot sun or worrying about fluctuating prices? That’s exactly what Sundry Agro set out to solve with its grocery bundle packages.
This blog dives into the numbers and the stories:
- What the typical market shopper in Lagos spends.
- How Sundry Agro bundles compare on price.
- The hidden savings beyond just naira and kobo.
- Who benefits the most from bundle shopping.
At the end, you’ll have a clear answer to the question: “Is a Sundry Agro bundle really cheaper than going to the market?”
Lagos Market Landscape: The Everyday Struggle
Shopping in Lagos isn’t just about prices; it’s about navigating a system shaped by inflation, traffic, and seasonality. Here’s a quick snapshot of the realities:
- Inflation and price volatility – Nigeria’s inflation rate has been hovering in double digits for years. This directly affects staple food items like rice, beans, garri, and tomatoes. Prices that were ₦300 per measure in January can easily rise to ₦500 by July.
- Fuel and transport costs – Every hike in petrol or diesel cascades into higher costs for transporting food into Lagos markets. From onions coming from the North to frozen chicken from Apapa cold rooms, everything gets more expensive.
- Middlemen markups – Between farmers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers, prices climb before items even hit your local stall.
- Seasonality of fresh produce – Lagosians know that tomatoes in April can be scarce and expensive, while by August the prices may crash due to glut. Shoppers gamble with timing.
- The time factor – Beyond money, market shopping can cost hours in traffic, parking fees, and the negotiation dance with traders.
For many Lagos families, these factors make food shopping a stressful balancing act between budget, time, and convenience.
What is Sundry Agro’s Bundle Offer?
Sundry Agro was built to take the guesswork out of food shopping. The idea is simple: buy in bulk directly from trusted sources, package the essentials that families need most, and deliver them at one fixed price that beats typical market costs.
The bundles usually come in categories such as:
- Essentials Bundle – rice, beans, garri, yam flour, vegetable oil.
- Protein Bundle – chicken, beef, fish, eggs.
- Vegetable & Fresh Produce Bundle – tomatoes, peppers, onions, leafy greens.
- Family Combo Bundle – a mix of everything needed for balanced meals.
How it works:
- Select your bundle online or via Sundry Agro’s order channels.
- Pay securely (transfer, card, or cash on delivery in some areas).
- Get your items delivered neatly packaged, usually within 24–48 hours.
This means no market stress, no price surprises, and consistent savings.
Methodology: How We Compared Prices
For this analysis, we looked at real prices from Lagos markets (Mile 12 and Oyingbo) in August 2025, alongside Sundry Agro’s current bundle pricing.
- Each item was standardised (1kg rice, 1L oil, 1 crate of eggs, etc.) for apples-to-apples comparison.
- Prices were averaged across 3 different traders to avoid one-off extremes.
- We then compared the market basket total with the equivalent items in Sundry Agro bundles.
