So yesterday we took off to buy some usual necessities for our households, like dishes and so forth. The only problem is, we won’t be able to take all that stuff back home to Germany, which basically means we will have to throw it all away when we’re going to leave in March. So I think it is needless to say that we tried to get all that stuff as cheap as possible, because there are better ways to spend your money.
Fortunately, this is very possible here! They have these stores called 100 YEN stores, where (almost) every item is… you guessed it, 100 YEN. That’s roughly 60 €-cents (!). Be it batteries, dishes, knives, towels, underwear, food, whatever; everything is 100 YEN (there are a few exceptions, like spices and other things though). I got my complete household set for only 2500 YEN — that’s 15 Euros!
A cooking pot for 60 cents? Try beating that! In case you’re wondering how this is possible… only three words: MADE IN CHINA!
Are those blue things 0,60 EUR weights, Matthias-San?? You have time for exercising?
Naaaaaice.
YES! But, they are hollow and you have to fill them with water. Unfortunately, this still makes them too lightweight to exercise with them…. but what gives, if everything is only 60 cents you just want to try it out!
Unlike the Stuff in German 1Euro Sores, this Thinks look really useable.
I love the 100 Yen store. I lived in Okinawa for 7 years and now my family lives in germany and I dont like it.They dont have anything here like the yen store.Its cheap in Okinawa to eat out and the Yen store is Awsome and alot of Americans love it. What do the Germans have???? I would like to know where are some good shops that are cheap.Everything is so expensive here.I would go back to Okinawa in a heart beat….
And the yen to dollar is .90Cents to our Dollar. So when I pulled out 5,000 yen thats $48.00…..Still cheaper then Germany
