Black Friday Kenya 2026: How to Spot a Real Deal and a Fake Discount
Quick answer

Black Friday 2026 is on 27 November, though Kenyan retailers often start earlier: Jumia's 2025 sale ran for a month, from 31 October to 30 November, with 'up to 70%' offers. That figure is a ceiling. Compare the item's normal price over the past weeks, check other shops, and ignore countdown pressure.
