Good Deals

One thing that's glaringly obvious about Tokyo is that food is really expensive. I've been really careful about where I buy things and how much I get because I don't want to go broke from buying apples. I've been spoiled by New England...apples seem more like a treat here than a daily snack (unless you're rich). I saw a bag of 4 or 5 apples for only ￥330 by Nishiogikubo station and that's pretty much the cheapest price I've seen on apples. The store I go to most often sells a bag of 4 for ￥499. Getting cheap produce was all about timing, until my friend showed me a place right by the station called やおさん.

I got aaall of this for ￥590 (about $7.58USD). It's the cheapest bunch of produce I've gotten yet.

If anyone knows of a place to get vegetables or fruits cheaper than this, tell me and I will love you forever (or at least for the next 9 months).
