The whole food delivery thing is a race to the bottom; Recently I order from Jumia Foods, two 3 piecers which cost currently KES.570(~$4); There was an existing promo that made each cost around KES.399(~$3). I am a Jumia Prime member so my delivery is free ...
Normally the delivery costs around KES.129 (~$1), mind you the prime membership was worth KES.500(~$4.50) for 3 months so my delivery is free and for the amount of time I have ordered from Jumia, they are basically paying for it. Anyway, there was a promo from Jumia discounting..
