I haven't been keen enough to check my prices while at the till, thanks for the heads up. I do my monthly shopping at uchumi, although there is no real "shopping experience"...it does make do for my basic needs. As much as they have their flaws...I have to give them a 5 star for their sandwiches! yummy! Ham with cheese! lip-smacking!!

I shop occasionally at Uchumi Capital Center and one thing that i always pick is the sandwich despite the slow staff, it is normally worth the wait.

Just by way of note I found the staff at Uchumi Ngong amazing. I was a new visitor to Kenya, and left my chnage at the till, by accident. As I walked back home , about two blocks away, I was followed by a taxi, who kept calling me. I waved him away, and rushed on, thinking he was after a fare, but just as I reached my place, a young girl ran upto me, I stopped for her, ofcourse!!! She said here is you change. The staff at Uchumi had given the taxidriver my change and asked him to chase after me! It has made a lasting impression on me about Kenya, that there is such honesty!

I am tired of uchumi's ways. Since 07, i have been faithful despite the price tags mess. But its time i do away with these inconvinience. I'm a supermarket shopping 'addict', even if i'm buying newspaper, i now go all the way to nakumatt mega, esp at midnight. I like the experience. No queues, cool music, u get tomorrow's papers already in shelves, etc. At least 3 times a wk, i do that. Bye bye uchumi.
