It just depends on where a family does shopping. There are some months we don’t do naivas as much .. but this is what a general naivas trip looks like.
I've been watching the news on protests re price hikes...🙏🙏 you all stay safe and that the Democratic Governments of nations will seek the Lord in all their decisions and passing of laws and remember that they are servants of the people who elect them and be accountable as such....❤ blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord..
Come with George to my farm and enjoy plenty of fresh fruits, milk and groceries. The cop that you always meet along kianjai meru road. Truly blessed people
Good Day MeKenze🥰. Thank you so much for sharing. It’s more cost effective to live in Kenya than in the US! But that is very obvious!!! Your grocery haul would have been over $300 dollars here especially with all the self stable items you purchased and the chicken breast! I believe if a good income can be generated in Kenya, living can be very enjoyable especially if you are in the village community areas. Enjoy your haul and your day. Blessings and Favor continue to be your portion! 💜🥰🌹🙏🏾🫶🏾🙋🏾♀️
Thanks so much! And yes, this amount of groceries would be well over $300 in USA . I love having a mixture of village life and convenience as well.. it’s the American in me 😅☺️
@@susann3399 That’s true. Publix seems to be the highest supermarket these days AND they are constantly building new stores!!! I only shop BOGO from Publix these days or if I cannot find a specific name brand at Walmart!
Really glad to hear you also eat your own produce which is very healthy l would imagine. As you become more used to village life you will eat more and more of your own organic grown plants and animals. Really enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed the grocery haul,love laughing cow cheese,when I was watching there was an add for visit I Utah they showed a canyon,I wonder if this was just a coincidence, I loved that the big brother is coming out in Lucas i saw how he stopped and let his sister go in,great job mom &Dad, as I am watching your video I have some beans soaking,I wanted to try githeri, I got recipe from a kenyan chef on you tube ,I have never met a legume I did not like,and who does not like Maiz/corn ,will be cooking in slower cooker, the bunnies were so cute hiding thanks for bringing us along with your lovely family
That’s cute you noticed Lukas do that cuz I noticed too and it made me happy that he’s becoming such a mature big brother toward his sis. Thanks for watching as always 🥰
200 dollars every 10 days is for the high end families in Kenya. Most families in Kenya of that size it is less than 200 dollars for a full month. To save money, most Kenyans would not shop much in supermarkets, they buy from local food stores fresh food from the farms
Those are the ones that eat ugali daily for lunch and dinner. And tea or porridge for breakfast. Their kids still eat lots of American diet like bacon, cereal and snacks e.t.c
Your shopping I saw you go 2 soap but I didn't see detergent toilet tissue dish detergent paper towels of course you don't need to get this everytime but......❤
Thanks for the grocery haul. Your grocery prices are pretty good. We (2 people) generally spend $450 each month in the US. That price includes a lot of salmon, catfish, and shrimp.
She's very far from the riots .only happened in Nairobi central business district near parliament offices the rest of the country is safe .and by evening everything had cooled down
I'm Kenyan in Kenya. By American standards, the shopping seems fair priced. By Kenyan standards, this is still pretty steep. I think it's the frozen foods that inflated the total. The only thing frozen in my freezer (and for many Kenyans) is some meat and mostly left-over food.🙂. That said, I want to get me some frozen SAMOSAS!!!!!!!!
Yes I agree with you 100%. I understand this isn’t a typical Kenyan style of shopping. It’s the American side coming out that loves buying a big variety of things.. and yes the frozen things are not cheap. The grocery prices have gone up significantly here even over the past year. I haven’t tried the samosas yet but I’m excited to try. Thanks so much for your comment 😊
As I just moved to Japan and get to explore supermarkets here as well, I’m super curious about grocery shopping in other countries as well! So cool to see what you get to buy 😍
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos. I found myself getting as excited as the kids over the bunnies 😂😂😂 Are fruits and veggies a lot cheaper compared to U.S.?
Thanks for that comparison. As a Kenyan, I have to admit I have never purchased almost all those things in your list 😅😅😅 But to give another angle to the comparison, it's worth mentioning that most families survive on local markets for fruits, vegetables, meats and cereal. So it's still possible to spend much less for someone interested in pursuing that alternative I should also say I watch every single one of your videos because I like learning from your experience living in US and in Kenya and how to convert hobbies into businesses 😊😊😊
Yes, I definitely understand that the shopping haul is not a typical Kenyan shopping .. it’s the American side coming out. Haha. We do shop at local markets very often as well.. it’s always a mixture of groceries. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment. I wish you well in all your endeavors!
So with 3 kids u need btw 30-70k monthly food.

in publixs supermarket in the states , that could be 400+

Go for it Makenze, yes, convenience.
That will be more than $400 in USA.
Grocery shopping is very pricey lately.
Love watching your videos ❤

Thanks for watching as always 🥰
I couldn’t help to notice Lucas too, it made my heart smile ❤
I noticed that too about Lucas and I had my "Aww" moment lol. It was so sweet to see that.
Saw Lucas giving his kid sister way and I was like Wow 😊 my heart smiled. His maturity is on another level, and he's also so chilled 🧡🧡🧡
Your 10-day grocery expenditure has challenged me to find smart ways of getting out of my "comfort" zone 🤣🤣🤣
Haha . Just sharing how we do things in our family. I know not everyone shops the same way in Kenya.
Sure,have enjoyed the video.good to enlighten on the dollar versus shilling diference
Wonderful family with three amazing kids indeed your daughter is so beautiful and both of them are well brought up ⬆️ children.
Very expensive indeed , thanx for shzring❤❤
I appreciate your honesty. That's about the same amount here for 10-12 days in US. Lovely family😊
How can I not love this family. Unity all the way. Family all the way.....
Sending love back to you 🥰
Lovely. Rabbit's looks healthy.
Imagine thats total is someone's salary here in Kenya and even less and we are surviving,God be with us,#reject finance bill#
I love the limiri's family
Loved this videooo!! I love to see the common food items that your country has opposed to the USA.
200 dollars every 10 days is for the high end families in Kenya. Most families in Kenya of that size it is less than 200 dollars for a full month. To save money, most Kenyans would not shop much in supermarkets, they buy from local food stores fresh food from the farms
I understand this for sure. This is just how we shop and what works for us
You forget that there are three children and their snacks.
Those are the ones that eat ugali daily for lunch and dinner. And tea or porridge for breakfast. Their kids still eat lots of American diet like bacon, cereal and snacks e.t.c
Your shopping I saw you go 2 soap but I didn't see detergent toilet tissue dish detergent paper towels of course you don't need to get this everytime but......❤
There was dish washing paste, in a yellow tub.
Lol those rabbits run fast. Definitely a bunny circus 😊
May you be kept safe where you are.
Its more useful to tell us the cost of each individual item than the grand total. Its hard to compare the way you did it.
True.. that would have taken me a lot of time 😂
@@Mekenzeinkenya😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We spend 100USD per week for a family of 4, 2 kids and 2 adults, this is a good and fair spend for a family of 5 🎉
Ya I agree 😊
Love you guys♥️
Love back to you too! ❤️
Just came across your channel, thank you for sharing your experiences. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago Caribbean 🇹🇹
Thanks for being here and for the comment. Greetings to you in 🇹🇹

Try nala noodles 😋😋😋😋
We love those ones too
loved the vlog but you have goats have you tried making yogurt and cheese
No we haven’t yet
Life is hard but I saw sugar has been reduced, hope things will get better with time
Groceries have become significantly more expensive in the last year.. for sure.
I do like 👍 ❤
Thanks for watching!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Food here in Jamaica is very expensive
As I just moved to Japan and get to explore supermarkets here as well, I’m super curious about grocery shopping in other countries as well! So cool to see what you get to buy 😍
That’s so cool you’re in Japan!
Thanks for watching 😊
That would cost you three times more in Washington DC.
I believe it!
I love Bradegate pizza!
We do too! It seems it tastes even better these days too.. compared to a couple years ago
Thanks for sharing always
❤❤❤Brasil
Ms mckenzic i haven't seeing your dog in the video. Is he ok
Yes, they’re great. They stay in their own space of the compound during the day otherwise they will chase and eat the chickens and ducks 😂
@@Mekenzeinkenya so relatable!😂😂😂
Left Kenya about 20 years, foods were all natural from open market, but now wow everything looks westernized looks like u just left Walmart
Ya Naivas is definitely Kenya’s version of a Walmart.. there are still tons of open markets.. the American in me likes shopping from both options . 😊
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos. I found myself getting as excited as the kids over the bunnies 😂😂😂
Are fruits and veggies a lot cheaper compared to U.S.?
Way cheaper 😊
Haha thanks for watching! They love bunnies so much. Yes, produce is a lot cheaper.
Way way way cheaper
What's the cost of the same shopping in the US?
I’d say at least $350-$400.

You kiswahili typing is good@@MekenzeinkenyaI hope you will one day tell us about the vlog in kiswahili give it a try.
@@Mekenzeinkenya well done
cut down junk food. tying healty breakfast farm food for the kids., get avacado.. visit local market for fruits friendly budget
We have plenty of fruits and veggies from our farm and markets as I mentioned in the video. 😊
Do you have a naivas loyalty card Mekenze or I can get your loyalty points 😂Just kidding!
We do have the card which is nice 😂😅
my Shopping worth $10 lasts for a month 😂😂😂
That’s amazing. Our shopping for groceries brings out our American side 😂 this is actually a very reasonable price for groceries compared to USA.
@@Mekenzeinkenyayes come out for tomorrow's demonstrations the government must reduce the taxes😂

Thats an expensive shopping but i understand your foods are mostly American so they are expensive in 🇰🇪
We like to have a combination of supermarket foods and local/market foods ☺️
