hua munasurvive aje in terms of food? what do you make/buy that is really affordable. ukiandika roughly price and how many people it feeds.
I'm sure it'll help me or someone out there.. Maybe itasaidia rationing also because of the coming trying times.
Add omena and kienyeji. And if you want to put your feet too deep you can also try mguu ya ng'ombe.
Feet too deep-mguu ya ng'ombe

Okay Rafiki
enda soko, Marikiti au Muthurwa au anywhere near you. buy from there. save more on transaction cost by carrying cash. use Bicycles for transit. carry your Liquor home. avoid apps with short unskippable videos. get active outdoors to avoid unnecessary eating
Also, Eat healthy foods and avoid junk to feel full for longer and it's cheaper long term
Shop for your groceries directly from the market. Fresh and cheaper in relation to mama mboga.
Umesema tuende kwa mkulima direct?
Become the farmer grow some tomatoes, skuma and onions
Unafikiria shamba inaeza nunuliwa kama credo 😂
They dont take that much space, just find a patch of good dirt nearby
Cabbage moja bwaku unamanage wiki moja... unga ya ugali... and oh, drink lots of water... anyway Ruto Must Go... it shouldn't be a way to live

Eggs Unga ya ugali Indomie Ngwashe Sukuma Avocado Nyama ones or twice a week Nyanya and onions I buy sokoni. .na fruits Plus I eat one meal a day. Nimejizoesha 😁
Uko sure hukondi?😂😂
Uko sure hukondi?😂😂
Eeh sikondi. Niko tu fiti 😅😅
Hehe Ngwashe is actually abit expensive
Kuna izi zinazungushwa mtaani kwa mkokoteni. I buy those ones .
if possible buy vegetables from the market. avoid vibandas. cereals like beans kamande ndengu rice look for a cereals shop by in kilos, that should push you for at least 2 weeks.
The reason why we prefer kubuy kwa mamá mboga ni boiling. Kuna siku nishawai boil maharagwe 2hrs ikabidi nimwage nje kabla ziive ju gas ni kuisha ilikua inaisha. If you have a pressure cooker, you but a kg, boil and keep in fridge. It is economical that way.
to reduce the boiling of cereals for a long try soaking overnight then rinse again and cook or if you have a flask, mix the cereals and hot water overnight. make sure you give room for rising. The food in the flask is already cooked by morning.
Many nairobi neighbourhoods hazina markets
I agree but lucky for me I live in Kasarani so if need be I can walk to githurai
Is it safe?

All of these just to maintain the same amount of savings each month before Zakayo#RutomustGo
Sossi does wonders for me. It's a cheap protein and can be quite tasty when well prepared
This one I'll have to throw out of the window. Why does it taste lie fake meat?
Lol i fell in love with it when i was building muscle in the gym. I'd eat two packets a day coz it was more affordable than eating the same quantity of meat everyday. I've loved it ever since
Omg you're so right. I just can't with it.
For me I hate it koz of the texture. I bit into this stuff nilikuwa na feel nikama nimerudi primary vile kazi ilikuwa kukula ma eraser za watu
just buy sossy na nyama kidogo ndio udanganye mdomo
Me and you both, i just can’t get it down at all

You need to see the energy costs as part of the food equation for true cost savings.
People call me crazy when I say I'm allergic 🥑 👀 Hello there 👋🏾
Indomie
It's no longer cheap buana😭
I buy abox at 1k thats for 2 weeks

Ni ile pack ya 5 alafu ndani ziko 8 so that is 40 pieces
Ooh,zetu ni zile kubwa 20
Mm hiyo hukuwa mingi sana

Huku ni wapi?😭
You will pay for it in fare. Utawala na ndani
Box mzima wiki mbili buana. Kwani unaekea minyoo bash omera.
I would eat 8 packs a day
It's tough. I just go for a dose of ozempic. With that, I skip meals for few days.
bro, i thought ozempic was expensive af. ama you get through insurance?
I was joking. Na lala njaa kama fellow paupers and peasants. Insurance labda nikue insured against riches ndo nikibaki poor wanilipe.
Buy beans, boil and store in the freezer. Go to city market for meat to store in the freezer. Buy sea fish like mackerel at 450 a kilo compared to a baby tilapia at 400. Buy onions from someone who goes to email or kitti. Buy tomatoes and put them in the freezer. Buy Managua and terere, blanch and store in the freezer. Go to the wholesale for goods like cooking oil etc
...freezer...freezer...freezer
Yes. They are key. Try your best to save for one
Where do you get your mackerel from?
City market. There's a fish mongers on the same line as kamundia butchery
Thanks will check them out
They even have dried prawns.
You wouldn't happen to remember the name of the stall?
Sorry but I don't. If you ask for kamundia butchery they are exactly on the same line. It is towards the end of the line of stalls after kamundia. They sell sea food mostly. I also used to get sardines if they were big sizes. Though they are more bony. Ask them to clean your fish for you. They can fillet it too. Mackerel is less bony and more fleshy. Let me know how it goes.
mbuzi choma all day everyday
We ukona pesa😂
ahaha
Healthy Weekly diet.:
Eggs - 450/= Sukuma - 180/= Chicken (KMP)- 600/=
Average food spend per week 1500/=
Nzuu
I save a lot on meat by buying beef bones from KMC at 150 per kg. Buying groceries straight from the market and not the local groceries.
You must really be suffering
Good for you then
I go to the market and buy produce from there and use distributors for wholesale food products eg flour.
Which supermarket is cheapest?
Lemme follow for tips too.
Mr. Noodles 🍜
I am a vegetarian convert. Unless when invited to ruracios.
I used to buy Dawaat spaghetti for 45 bob a pop. Hio ya 45 bob used to tosha 2 meals.... So I used to buy them in bulk when I have money.... So that when I'm broke I sitalala njaa
I'm lucky to prefer eating plant based, it makes a difference. I cook with tonnes of seasoning so it's never boring. I agree with those who recommended buying cereals and other dry pantry items. Having a pressure cooker could help simplify the process as well.
Potatoes contain Vitamins, Carbs and Proteins, the full package. You can survive solely on them but not in the long run. Spare some change for fruits.
sossi
As you look at managing costs you can cut energy costs on cooking. Sometimes you can still make light snacks for lunch, especially if you've had a late breakfast. Bread sandwiches, leftover starches with milk or Mala. Whatever food needs boiling do it in bulk and store. Check for in season foods, they're much cheaper before they make it mama mboga.
Did you know cooked Omena is sweeter and softer after it's 'aged' a few days in the fridge?
If you have access to some free open space rear rabbits for meat. Especially kama uko mashinani. A single doe can give birth to around 50 babies in a year. Very lean, very healthy protein. Also relatively high feeds to meat conversion ratio. And they can eat almost anything.
Indomie
Omena
Omena for 500 can serve you a whole month 4kgs of unga 400 bob Rice 5kg Vegetables pale sokoni are cheap Avoiding Sugar
A CRATE of Eggs Omena kwa wingi. Unga Groundnuts
Unaeza nunua ile githeri ya streets kama unaishi place wanauza. Ongezea skuma wiki/cabbage. Once in a while, when budget allows unaeza ongezea nyama kidogo (even if it’s very few pieces) and cut them to really small to change the flavor. Avocado pia helps.
I don’t know the current prices but I know that it’s really affordable and can feed many.
eating once a day, kukunywa maji mob, eggs kwa wingi na zile chapo za 10
Legumes - beans, peas etc are very nutritious as well as cheap.
I shop at kamindi supermarket in Kiambu.... I travel all the way from Ruaka... They have variety of goods with cheaper prices.... 2kg rice there goes for about 240 thereabout
You guys eat? Just kidding. I learnt to survive on kibandaski food then I collect takeout rice & greensfor my little dog akule na bone soup or raw eggs. Way cheaper than cooking for myself. Kuwa bachelor is so much fun bana 😂
I visit my grandma. She has a sizeable organic farm so nikienda I always return with that some goodies. Dried mahindi for unga, greens nachop nafreeze, beans, waru, nduma, carrots...stuff like rice napatanga from my mum. That kasmall 5kg bag of rice. Keeps me going for some months.
LoL! Best advice if they are an option "..kasmall 5Kgs.." 😂 #Reject
Buy in bulk rather than small items . For example a good quality 25kg basmati Rice costs around 3500 ( at least it was when a bought it a few months ago
Retail in the market was 170 par kg and supermarket is alot higher .
When I did the math. It came to around 140 per kg .
If you use biryani it gets even cheaper.
That will take you a long time and save you money. Same with Edible oil , it's cheaper to buy a 5 litre in the long run than buy 1 little.
Finally if you can Shop ones a month rather than daily. And buy whatever you can get from a wholesale rather than retail .
Buy a carton of Milk.
If I bought this I will consume it much faster because it is readily available😅
Expensive, buy from atm or farmer if you live close to one
I pay mama mboga with please call me. I don't know the prices.😂😂
bruuuh 😭😭😭😭😭
Mchezo ya taon😂😂
Eggs crate - 450/=
2Kg Maize flour - 140/=
Avocado, Sukima wiki, Spinach, Cabbage, Groundnuts.
Very cheap nutritious meal.
