♥ Day 1 - Groceries in Japan at Gourmet City

These were the basic groceries we picked up at the 24 hour grocery store near by. Lots of Cute character based foods and novelties. Selections on types of drinks are huge, packaged bentos go for $3.00 to $5.00 with it being 30% off after 7 pm usually.

Bread (~$1.00 cdn)
1 dozen eggs ($2.19 cdn)
3 package of pudding (~$1.00 cdn)
 Orangina (~$1.00 cdn); this drink is seen everywhere but its usually $2.49 at home
 cured ham (~$3.00 cdn)
large peach jello cup (~$0.88 cdn)
1L lemon tea (~$1.00 cdn)

With a few more items, the bill came to $11.00 cdn. Taxes here is 5% versus the 13% at home. Makes the bill look less horrifying after shopping. Fruit though on the other hand, is too expensive especially $20.00 for a watermelon.
