The Basic Needs Basket (BNB) is an accurate monthly survey that shows the bare minimum cost of living for a family of six – the basic cost of essential food and non-food items needed by an average sized family to live with a decent and healthy lifestyle. It is truly a minimum, excluding additional everyday costs such as education, transport, healthcare and clothing.
