KENYA · GUIDE 0506 · EDITION 4.2
Market shopping errands in Kenya
Shop from a customer-approved list with transparent substitution rules.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional errand MKT-06: one household authorises purchase of 2 kg rice in sealed retail packs, six tomatoes by count, one cabbage and two 1-litre bottles of cooking oil from a named market and shop. The runner provides itemised receipts, a purchase photograph where allowed and change reconciliation. A sample substitution line says 'cabbage unavailable: call before replacing; maximum approved grocery spend KSh 1,800'. This figure is a fictional customer ceiling, not an estimate of today's grocery prices. Raw meat, medicine, alcohol and buying on credit are outside this initial order.
Who is the first customer?
Busy households and small food businesses.
