Is it really a sale?

Work out discounts and spot fake deals

Level 5: Planning ahead · from age 12 · 3 minutes · 3 Kesho Stars

The story

A shop at the mall has a big sign on a jacket: “Was KES 2,500, now KES 2,000!”

The big idea

Some sellers push up the “was” price before a sale so the discount looks bigger. Check what the item costs at other shops or online first.

Ask at home

On your next shopping trip, find a sale sign and work out the real percentage off together.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
