Utensils, kitchen and house equipment are cheaper at places like Panda Mart or China Square. Eggs in the US are refrigerated because FDA requires eggs to be washed in water and chemicals, so the outer protective layer that stops salmonella and bacteria is washed away. If you want milk that can stay long, check for milk marked "U.H.T", but you need to put it in the fridge once opened.
If you love deli meat i would advise you get to the meat counter at Carrefour and get a turkey breast and roast it should 800kshs per kilogram and you will get better value for money. Just season it up and roast/broil
With time check out the local markets they have the freshest produce.Next time buy the yellow chicken or ask for kienyeji chicken and eggs they are a bit pricey but are real organic
Good day. I am loving your journey. Im hoping to visit Kenya next year. I was going to ask if they have stores like our Walmart, Target and Dollar Trees? I sure they do to an extent.
Thank you for the feedback. There isn’t anything exactly like Walmart or Target that I’ve seen, but there are some similar stores. Carrefour is the closest to Walmart because it has groceries, some clothes, household goods, electronics and groceries. The closest thing to Dollar Tree is the Chinese Mall. I haven’t been there, but from videos I’ve watched they have some of everything like dishes, hair products, beauty, household items, etc. mostly if not all from China.
You bought those eggs very expensive.a tray of 30 eggs cost 380shs in the market.next time buy other groceries in local market it's less cheaper than buying from the supermarket stores.you will thank me later
We know prices are lower at the markets, however as soon as we open our mouths we are offered Mzungu prices which end up being higher than what you’d pay.

If something doesn't last long it means it has less preservatives thus its more healthier than those lasts long

I am looking forward to checking out Panda Mart or China Square. I heard about them on Instagram.
I wouldn't think you weren't from here. You look like a friend of mine called Jacky.
That’s a reason why I moved here. When I looked around and saw so many people who looked like relatives of mine in the US I wanted to live here.
