Pay less on the same shelf, at the shop you already use.
The savings are on the shelf in front of you.
We check the prices of everyday things across Kenya’s big supermarkets. The biggest savings aren’t in another shop. They’re in which brand and which size you pick.
- Brand: the same thing, the same size, often 10 to 30% less.
- Size: the bigger pack isn’t always cheaper. We show you when it isn’t.
- Per piece: diapers, pads and tissue, priced per piece, so you can compare.
