How our prices compare

How we checked

• Competitor prices are the prices shown on Carrefour Kenya, Naivas and Greenspoon’s own websites on the date shown under each product. The price on the shelf in a store can be different, and prices change often.
• We compare the same kind of product. Many of the other roasted cashews are roasted and salted or flavoured; ours is roasted plain. Brands and quality differ between products.
• Our prices are the shop prices: roasted plain cashews 150 g Ksh 180 and 200 g Ksh 220; moringa powder 140 g Ksh 200 and 300 g Ksh 450; baobab powder 300 g Ksh 480; raw green pumpkin seeds 200 g Ksh 464 and 1 kg Ksh 1,392; peanut butter 350 ml jar Ksh 600. All prices on this page, ours and the other shops’, include 16% VAT.
• Pumpkin seeds: ours are raw and shell-free. Eva is sold as kernels (shelled). Sue’s and Godson (Greenspoon) are roasted, and the Naturalli at Greenspoon is in the shell. For the others the shop does not say, so they may not be the same as ours. The price per 100 g can look lower for a bigger pack.
• Peanut butter: ours is sold by volume (a 350 ml glass jar), the other shops sell by weight, so we only list jars of about 340–400 g and show the price per jar. The other brands are mostly everyday peanut butters; we did not check their ingredients, and recipes, packaging and quality differ from ours (ours is 100% peanut butter, also with sesame seeds, cinnamon or coconut). Names like “Natural” and “Sugar Free” are the shops’ own. Blue Band is shown at its normal price of Ksh 360; the shops currently list it lower (Ksh 269–300). Several of the cheaper brands are sold in larger sizes too, where the price per 100 g is lower.
• Promotions and discount codes are not counted. The price shown is the normal listed price.
• We add more products as we check them.
