Household Survival Budget

4 weeks. 1 SA family. Real food economics, real trade-offs.

Feed your family for 4 weeks.

Each week you get R100 and a shopping basket of real South African staples — maize meal, samp, morogo, pilchards, amasi, chicken feet. Buy smart. Pair foods for combo bonuses. Avoid the trap foods. An event card hits each week — load shedding, payday delays, school feeding, pension specials. End of week 4: nutrition report card.

// FAMILY
Pick a household. Their needs shape the scoring.
// COMBOS
Samp + beans. Maize + morogo + pilchards. Earn wellness bonuses.
// SHOCKS
