1. Fixed prices are the norm in most Super markets, department stores and a number of shops in Kampala, but at most other places, bargaining is acceptable and expected.
2. Shop around to compare prices – this is especially important with durables such as Electronic Appliances.
3. Obtain a receipt for goods bought and check if it is correct and the amount matches what you have paid leaving the shop.
4. Do not let a stranger or an unfamiliar person take you to go shopping.
5. Bear in mind that the price difference especially reflects on the quality of the product. It is paramount that you consider the more pricey which is most times value-worth.
6. It is also important to take note that shops in hotel arcades pay high rents and accordingly prices tend to be higher than at street shops. So expect higher prices here.
Uganda
has a number of other places to shop. Most shopping centres are second to none,
and whether its clothes, computers, gems or mobile phones that you are looking
for, visitors marvel at the range and quality of what’s on offer. If shopping
is your thing, a visit to Uganda will very likely satisfy your passion.
