Kasuku 1 kg cooking fat: Quickmart and Carrefour finish KES 98 apart
The same 1 kg pack of cooking fat ended the comparison week with a KES 98 price gap between two tracked retailers. ShelfSight recorded Kasuku Pure White Cooking Fat at KES 336 at Quickmart and KES 434 at Carrefour on 8 October 2026.
That closing comparison reversed the order seen a week earlier. On 1 October, Carrefour’s listing was KES 391, below Quickmart’s KES 430. The two prices then moved in opposite directions.
What changed?
Quickmart: The observed price fell from KES 430 on 1 October to KES 336 on 8 October—a decrease of KES 94 (21.86%).
Carrefour: The observed price rose from KES 391 to KES 434 over the same dates—an increase of KES 43 (11.00%).
The KES 98 gap is the difference between the two closing item prices. It excludes delivery and travel costs, and applies to the same brand, product and 1 kg pack size in these tracked listings.
When did the lower price appear?
Quickmart’s retained observations show KES 430 on 1 and 2 October. The lower KES 336 price first appears on 4 October and remains in every subsequent retained observation through 8 October.
Carrefour’s listing moves from KES 391 on 1 October to KES 434 on 2 October, then stays at that level in the remaining records. These dates show when ShelfSight observed the prices; they do not establish the exact moment either retailer changed them.
The evidence contains 14 observations across two listings, with seven dates per retailer. There is no retained observation for 3 October. The closing records were captured between 08:48 and 08:52 EAT on 8 October.
Check the full cost of the shop
For someone buying this exact pack, the closing listed price was lower at Quickmart. Whether that made the whole shop cheaper would also depend on delivery, travel and the prices of the other items in the basket.
This comparison covers two online listings. It does not establish the lowest price in Kenya, explain why the prices changed, or confirm physical stock. The figures are historical observations, not a promise of today’s checkout price.
