The Deals Kenyans Love but Won't Admit to

If there’s anything Kenyans love, it is a good deal where you get more value for your money.

A good sale is enough to ignite the senses and compel you to dip your hand into that pocket.

And with many avenues of getting stuff nowadays, people have upped their game when it comes to looking for deals whether online, looking for sales in stores and don’t get me started on when a hawker on the street unexpectedly mentions an item at an unbelievable low price.

Here are a couple of things that give you a great deal when they come in packages:

1. Combo chicken chips

For those who love fast food, a reasonably priced chicken chips soda combo will always sweeten the deal for a quick lunch.

In these joints, the chicken is often the most expensive item and many usually opt for the simple fries and a soda.

But on a day when you decide to treat yourself, a deal where you can get the chicken, fries and a soda for less money is getting value for money. Often the soda is free or the package is cheaper by some percentage – a percentage that will enable you pay for your ride home after indulging yourself.

2. Women’s handbags (three-in-one)

I am no expert in women’s accessories but the women’s three in one handbag makes so much sense when you look at it.

The best part is that they can go up to six-in-one.

From what I understand, if you like the design of a handbag, you can get it in different sizes from a pouch to the big bag to perfectly suit the occasion of the need you may have.

That sounds like a deal to me especially when looking for a gift for that special lady in your life.

3. Purchasing tickets to an event

Going to events is about having a great time by being in the moment. It could be a concert, a movie or a gathering.

For such occasions, isn’t it better going with a friendly face or your gang to psych up each other?

It is a deal when you can get tickets for many to have a great time.

There are some events where you can redeem your ticket for a drink or you have to buy two drinks to get in. If you were going to get drinks anyway then that’s a plus.

4. Buy two get one free

How many times have you gone to the supermarket with a sole purpose of getting a single item at one quantity when you get to the aisle you see a ‘buy two get one free’ tag?

If it not that tag, the product that is being promoted comes with a free gift that would make sense if you had it.
