At the market...
Many have asked us what the shopping is like in Kenya. The markets are a super way to find great deals on about anything you could imagine - clothes, shoes, electronics, hedge clippers, fruit, veggies, bread, eggs, somewhat freshly butchered meats, tiny dried up fish, TV antennas, coat racks - literally anything you could want, you can probably find at a market somewhere in town. Now higher quality, legitimate items may be another story. We generally only have purchased food items at the market mainly because we are not totally used to bargaining for each item. The process can be long and tedious, but fun if you don't really "need" what the shopkeeper is selling.
There is also one major chain of supermarket in town called Nakumatt. This place is amazing. If one was dropped in the middle of a Nakumatt, they probably couldn't tell the difference between it and a Wal-Mart or Meijer store. Until they looked at the prices of things...Convenience has it's advantages and also it's price.

Cows feed on grains and plants, donkeys, feed on grass by the side of the road, and sheep feed on the trash that is left in a pile waiting to burn.
The way flour, beans, maize, and grains are sold at the market.
