If we were so keen on cost like we disply here, then:

We would be roaming all over town looking for the cheapest fueling station

Window shopping at every supermarket to get the one with the cheapest packet of unga ya ugali

Doing research to know which bar sells beer the cheapest etc .......

Some of us here mourn about cost of sending an sms @ Ksh 3.50 while we needlessly overspend on overpriced basic needs without much noise. the likes of power bills, Sugar, Rice, bus fare etc.

My take

If scom is worried what will happen to the likes of orange?
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

@KenyanLyrics: And once you do your math, taking into account the roaming around and time taken you will notice that you saved nothing

@ jamani it depends on how u plan to look 4 the places, like me i always know which supermarket unga, one 4 juice one 4 kiwi other 4 sugar etc. As 4 fuel i know 2 stations which are always 2 or 3 shillings lower and 4 all the above, i also know those who charge the highest. So i dont loose a thing and hey i dont shop on one day! I am doing shopping at different times, difference places.

I am laughing my arse off...

While you search for the 'big' savings... the small ones will have passed you by...

Reader's Digest used to have great examples/methods to plug the small leaks... Do not ignore the large leaks but always know small leaks lead to large leaks...

My mzee refused to spend 500/- to fix a leak in his flat (I offered to supervise it) & wanted me to bargain the fee down or get a new plumber... I would have paid the plumber 500/- from my pocket lakini for my mzee it was 'pride' not to use the same plumber! I didn't bother to go look for another plumber...

I am sure the lost maji over 2 years cost him much more... And he has to shut off the main valve at night... Plus run to open the valve every morning... I just keep quiet...

In that case then i think Zain is a terribly bad small leak.

what they are doing is not making business sense, in fact they are running it at a loss.. if everybody follows suit to maintain or attract customers at such suicide rates.. we might just as well, in the LONG TERM kill the industry, watafunga kazi...

or im i not seeing something?

Mazee @vvs tengenezea mzee hiyo maji. If he is like my mzee, and I suspect he is, what a sight for a bare chested man with a towel round his waist trudging down the stairs every morning!!!
