Ever wanted to read my grocery list? Ever wanted to read my grocery list in Japan? Well, I just got back from the grocery store and I feel like sharing! (I realize this will interest nobody at all, but who cares.)

  • 6 noodle bowls – the cheapest stuff, I only use the noodles anyway
  • 8 slices of bread – 97 cents
  • quart of pink grapefruit juice
  • quart of milk – for cereal
  • cookies & sesame cream ice cream – mini cup, freaking tiny, but SO good
  • 0 calorie multivitamin jelly – looks pretty much like this
  • 20 calorie peach flavored dessert jelly – for a snack, same type of package
  • 1 red bean mochi – YUM
  • 8 pieces inarizushi – $4.95, a couple of meals at least
  • regular cornflakes – turns out the ones I got last time WERE frosted flakes
  • 5 pkgs of tofu, 5pcs each – for cutting up and putting on noodle bowls
  • something resembling cheese – the Japanese are not big cheese eaters, but they have a little. my wife suggested cheese sandwiches. this was the closest I could come to cheese…the picture indicates it’s meltable. 8 slices for $3.27.
  • Meiji Black chocolate bar – sometimes you need chocolate
  • 2 pkgs cream collon – promised my wife I would bring her some, got another for myself
  • 6 apples – a little over $6

And just in case that wasn’t exciting enough, here’s what I got at the dollar store too:

  • Scissors
  • knife
  • bigger spoon
  • mixed nuts
  • earplugs for when the girls are being really loud late at night (no really, I’m hard of hearing, they’re REALLY loud)
