🛍️ Shopping at Local Kenyan Markets: The Ultimate Bargaining Game!

Visiting a Maasai market in Kenya? Get ready for a no-price-tag adventure—where everything’s negotiable, and the final bill might just shock you! Here’s what went down during our shopping spree: 🤯 The "No Price? No Problem!" Experience No price tags—vendors give a total sum at checkout (surprise!). "Buy more, save more" (allegedly…). We picked ~20 small items (fridge magnets, mirrors, etc.) → Quote: 70,000 KES (~$500 / ¥3,900)! 😱 ⚡ Bargain Like a Pro (Or Walk Away!) 🔹 First rule: Never accept the first price! 🔹 We countered with 8,000 KES (~$60)—vendor was stunned (but we held firm!). 🔹 Result: Left empty-handed… but avoided a tourist trap! 🚫 Avoid These Scams ❌ Maasai Village gift shops (hyper-inflated prices). ❌ "Special discounts" for foreigners (still overpriced). ✅ Smart Shopping Tips ✔ Compare prices at multiple stalls first. ✔ Start at 10% of their asking price (yes, really!). ✔ Walk away if needed—they’ll often chase you with a better deal!💰✨ #KenyaShopping #MaasaiMarket #TravelHacks
