From the looks of this photo, I think I am....Not that I tried to make them look like a face, it just turned out that way...ha!
That sweet potato in the photo was huge--about 12 inches long and guess what?! only 88 yen (about US$.88)
The cucumber in the photo was also huge, a little longer than the sweet potato and only 50 yen (about US$.50)
The pear on the left 88 yen (about US$.88) the pear on the right 98 yen (about US$.98).
Why the cheap veggies and fruit? I think it was the neighborhood supermarket's tactic to get us into the store. They just renovated and upscaled their products. (This was the store I've been betraying...) But I was disappointed, they no longer carry the brand of milk or yogurt that I like...boo! I am still going to shop wherever I am and not go special to this store.
Hey...our tomatoes are getting ripe!..these guys fell off when I covered the plant with a plastic sheet, I'm putting them into a paper bag and hopefully they'll ripen a bit more.
Good morning Kat,
ReplyDeletethose fruit and veges are so cheap I think they'd put a smile on anyone's face.
I'm off to Daimaru this morning to pick up a free can of coffee from my local supplier. Yes, I'm not working today-there are no classes. Those things make me smile.
I wonder what made your readers smile lately.

Free can of coffee and no work, sounds like something to smile about Tamakikat :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.

*heehee* Cute post Kat, and I can totally see why you'd be happy over the tomatoes (winks knowingly). What type of cherry tomatoes are they?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Rowena, it is the one I threw into the pot :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Hi Kat - Those tomatoes are so cute. The prices for the produce was great....can't beat those "loss leaders"!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirkk :) I was surprised at how cheap they were selling the produce for!
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Great prices on the produce. I guess they won't stock the brands you like even if you ask right? It is so frustrating when you find something you like and they stop carrying it.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people would have to ask for the same brand for them to even think to bring it back, Deb. The original brand that I like is still there but the price is not what I'd like to pay for it.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
