100 yen Shop - Another "Convenience Store"

Now it's April - the season to start new life in Japan - new school, new job, new life.... Sounds very exiting!
Some of new starters, however, is struggling to manage for money. They need new furniture, new suits, cosmetics... And have to get commodities, pans and plates. So it's important to get them cheaper and easily.... Yes, 100 yen shop will help them!

"100 yen shop" is a kind of convenience store, but not like as Seven-Eleven or so. Various kinds of products from snacks, detergents and tableware to cosmetics, shirts and underwear are sold for 100 yen. (105 yen for including tax - about 1US$) The difference between 100 yen shop and Seven Eleven is that we can get small shelves at 100 yen shop, and eggs and box lunch at the latter. (Of course all products are not sold for 100 yen in convenience store.)

It's fun to enjoy shopping in this shop, but do not waste your money due to buying so many 100 yen stuffs!
