'Kiosk ya mtaa'
are the most expensive places to shop at.
Everything is highly priced than the supermaket.
In my Kiosk ya mtaa: eggs are 2 bob higher, bread 40 bob while in Tuskys at approx 36-38,
Milk @ 32(tuskys 28-30)

or does it depend on the neighbourhood?

You are so right. Not to mention the lack of variety - you are stuck with one brand at high prices.

Wholesalers are all over the place, just ask your shopkeeper where he buys his supplies. I'm sure its not too far from his shop.

One of the ways l try to minimize my power bill from shooting thru the roof and beyond my budget is to make sure that ironing of clothes and boiling of H2O using the elec kettle only takes place when the fridge is off,ironing and boiling H2O doesn't happen at the same time, and last but not least ironing of clothes is done during daytime and not at night!!! It may take a little while for it to work coz of resistance from some family members... but trust me once it takes off you'll notice the difference in ur power bills.


You still iron clothes?.Fold them nicely and tuck them under your mattress overnitesmile .No billsLaughing out loudly

just make sure you iron everything on weekends it actually saves a lot of power instead of ironing every evening for what you want to wear kesho

Guys,

It is true that the kiosk ya mtaa is more expensive. However, in the race to save the extra 2 bob and find more variety, you end up spending more driving to the supermarket everyday and spending more by impulse buying
