Grocery shopping in Japan 2020 + food Haul

[@TomisWorldxEli]

Hey guys! How much money do you spend on groceries per month? Let me know ⬇️

[@AkielaLovell]

Umm.. an estimated $800-$1000 TTD, 12677.80-15847.25 ¥...eating clean /keto is expensive here😓 it could be more..this just a rough estimate...

[@TomisWorldxEli]

That is pretty expensive! Healthy eating is always more expensive "cries" but check that body goals that's coming though!

[@AkielaLovell]

@@TomisWorldxEli yes girl.. that's the goal😊

[@sheddybarnes]

I spend at least $30,000 JMD per month on groceries and that's when there is no school.

[@TomisWorldxEli]

woooww that's less than me in a good month lol!

[@AndSoWeLaughed]

Naaaah I hate the prices of fruits in Japan. Especially when they are FREE in Jamaica. FREE. (Ya know if you find the right tree 😉)

[@TomisWorldxEli]

Girl when I took up that mango and remember how I use to sit in my grandma mango tree and eat to my hearts content I just couldn't do it 😂😂

[@anaseymour4556]

Same in Brazil I have fruits in my backyard, a lot of mango for free

Good day Sir/Mdm I am Mike, resident in Abuja,Nigeria. .. 👍👍 I'm reaching out to you because I help businesses and individuals in the diaspora source,shop, package and ship fresh (and also dried) Africa food items including provisions at prevailing Nigerian PRICES (due to their cost effective nature compared to what is obtainable abroad) as sort of logistics support so to say,hence looking at establishing a good business relationship with you or your organisation. Does this sound like something you would be interested in? Looking forward to your response soonest. Kind regards. God bless.. MICHAEL OKPARA [phone] (Whatsap/Telegram) [e-mail]

[@Evilfuzzl224]

Honestly I’m so excited to live in Japan one day so I can go shopping at the grocery stores. I love how small the portions are, I don’t eat a whole lot and So it’s absolutely perfect for me 😅I always feel like I waste food with bigger portion sizes. And there’s something about the ways they set up the stores that fascinates me

[@TomisWorldxEli]

You'll fit right in!!! ❤️

[@renaedouglas9672]

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one that uses a calculator when shopping 😁😁😁

[@timmygabbie1631]

Sale out pan di sushi dem 😂😂😂😂😂 I honestly wasn't prepared for that at all. 😂😂😂😂

lol have to drop a reminder every now and then that I am a yaadie!!

[@user-kt7ei4ur3j]

Hey hun! You can find Listerine. We buy it at our pharmacy!! Also the jelly-like stuff at the beginning is this really low-calorie, virtually flavorless stuff used in cooking. They even have a kind you mix into your rice so you’re filling up but with less calories. If you ever make nikujaga (which I recommend) you use the noodle form of it and they soak up the flavor of the broth. So good!

[@TomisWorldxEli]

Thanks for the tips jess! also im going to have to check out them low calorie noodles because girrllll this quarantine weight is tripping!!

[@wpl8275]

20,000 yen per month = $189 per month. Assuming you have 30 days a month that is about $6 a day. Let's assume you eat at least 5 lunches a week out of the home at $10 a lunch. That adds another $200 a month to the food cost. That comes to roughly $13 a day for food. Not bad at all for Japan. Especially when some people will blow $7 just for a cup of coffee every single day.

[@shakiirobinson3457]

That point when the jamaican chip in 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TomisWorldxEli]

Necessary madness ❤️

[@shelbywilhelm9080]

Thanks for the insight Miss Tomi! Have you thought about growing your own fruits and veggies in your apartment? There are some that you can do in mini planters and even mason jars! Strawberries being one of the fruits. You can find how to grow them from your scraps online! (Herbs, garlic, and greens are also very good for apartment gardening!)

[@TomisWorldxEli]

That's a great idea! but unfortunately I'm way too lazy for that to ever work. I tried caring for three plants and they're all dead now lol.

[@susanma4899]

I wonder what the prices are like nowadays. Groceries are SO expensive in the US now. Those Japanese prices look really good, except for some of the fruits. You know when you see those fruits that have the fancy packaging--those are special fruits that people buy as gifts, like the $15 mango. When I lived in Japan, the cheapest fruits in my area were bananas, apples (maybe), and persimmons when they were in season. Those were basically the only fruits I ever ate! Things like cherries or grapes---noooo, never.

[@_____J______]

[@sunnygirly2k4]

Your monthly expenditure is not too dissimilar to mine here in the UK, but you don't seem to get nearly as much for your money over there (why is the frozen veg so small? I get 1kg, usually). Some questions: Don't they sell brown rice there? Do you filter your water? What types of bread do you see and flour? What types of tea do you see besides green?
