I know that we are facing very tough financial times due to the climate change,economic meltdown,effects of post election violence e.t.c

This post should help SK guys to know a few things they can do to save and live an economical life.

The followings are some tips I use:

-Eat home cooked food as much as possible,it is most economical.
-Buy energy saving bulbs
-Shop mostly in supermarkets. Here you will benefit from the points e.g. using Tuskys,Uchumi ... cards. Tuskys so far is the best at this,redeeming at 1.50 per point. Also you will be saving a few shillings on each item e.g. loaf at the shop is 35 bob while the same in a supermarket is 30 bob. In total you can save up to 500 or more in one shopping.
-Avoid the stock market if you are not good at it.
-Don't follow these things coming up every day promising millions.
-Conserve water esp. when showering,using the loo and washing dishes. There are numerous ways of doing this.
-Don't look at Brands,unless you have a skin problem,there is little difference between lux,dettol and the like as compared to cussons,flamingo and the like which are much cheaper. The same applies to colgate and whitedent,barclays and equity,omo and toss e.t.c. Always take the more economic option.
-Avoid taking your kids to quack doctors who will keep your kid coming back. Identify good doctors for you and your family and you'll enjoy a bout of health.
-Pray,fast,help the needy and make sure that you are happy and blessings shall come to you.
-when moving out don't just consider the rent price,consider such things as water and electricity(some bills are higher than others for no reason),security,fare/fuel e.t.c.

These are mine and I believe that over the past year I have been able to cut down so much such as to have a better quality of life at an evidently tougher environment.

What are yours???

@poggie - yes - but downgrade to senator keg or citizen (and imagine you are in Tanzania where the beer tastes like crap - esp Serengeti,yeuch!).

I think,also some of us should really consider cycling to save both time and fuel money (and increase health). if you live within 5-10 km of the CBD and usually commute on a road with heavy traffic (i.e. safer for cylcing as the chances of getting fatally knocked down are very low) - then get a bike - even an MTB - ride to work - get fit,save money and time.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,So is he who makes a fortune,but unjustly; In the midst of his days it will forsake him,And in the end he will be a fool.'



From the SK Anti-hate/anti- corruption campaigner..

Don't go shopping when hungry!!

This is the day to change the world by starting with your own attitude and actions.

Make telephone calls just to get quick info e.g nikupate wapi??/wi ha? see u kesho then.

Avoid unnecessary phrases or sentences in fone conversations .This goes to our kuyo pals eti the first statement goes like:atiriri!! Do do waste money on atiririris



Also avoid doing so much internet from home,It takes much amount of cash

@ jaribu,

it appears you are a champ in this 'together' business....does eating together save food??? does travelling together in a mat save fare??? does drinking together save beer??? just thinking..


NEVER TALK OF A RHINO IF THERE IS NO TREE NEAREBY - ZULU PROVERB
