I was in shock the other day to see a packet of Jogoo retailing at Shs. 136/- at Uchumi. This was at Shs. 70/- to 78/- for most of last year. I do not buy either maize nor wheat flour. It gave me a feeling that things are getting out of hand.

Just out of curiosity, what do you eat because you have said you dont buy maize or wheat flour?

Haven't I been crying 'im finished' all this time? hasnt this been my reason as to why Uhuru is the man to beat in 2012? welcome to the world. ' First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.' Martin Niemoeller 2012 is here.Kenya is Ours.Be Part of The Peace Keeping Mission To Protect Our Motherland.Say No To Violence and Tribal Hatred .If you can read this,wewe ni mtu amesoma, usifikirie kama mtu hajaenda shule .Ni Hayo Tu

I personally don't buy unga and as a result I was out of touch with the prices till I overheard a conversation a few weeks ago with the price quoted at a hundred and twenty something. I was in total shock!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Give your wife a lump sum and don't ask for an expenditure breakdown! When you are told "pesa kwisha" go out and look for more na ikikosa, bas! Hakuna jabo rigine. Trying to keep up with the prices and breakdowns is the shortest route to a heart attack - especially for an old man like you. Never count on making a good sale.

[/quote] That is a funny quip.I actually think that Maich meant that he personally don't go to buy unga.I am at pain to imagine how my grandma can afford this daily meal.How can we as Kenyans come to the aid of our people who can not even afford it at 50 bob.we really need someone to do something or something is done to someone to put this price hike in check. Advice is like snow.The softer it lands the harder is sticks.

You can also skim through the list [without looking at the prices] to ensure hakuna vitu funny funny zimenunuliwa!  Never count on making a good sale.

"ngunjagutu" this kind of delicacy was very famous when we were young and especially when things were tough. "You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it". Malcolm X

My favourite Hostess was retailing at 149/- at Tuskies!  Nowadays we dont throw away leftover Ugali, we sprinle some water over it and warm the stuff in Microwave oven. Ni kubaya. Portfolio: Sold

Next time, store it in a plastic bag or in a covered container... it wont get hard and wont need water when warming.
