Is the proliferation of 100-yen stores. They are everywhere. Recently E did us the service of discovering another huge one called Seria while she was out with Cassia on a walk. It's got rows and rows and rows of household products, food items, toys, stationery, trinkets and miscellaneous goodies, each of which costs 100 yen. You'll find virtually anything you can imagine that could conceivably be sold at that price.
I have found normal-sized bottles of sweet chilli sauce there!
I have found normal-sized cans of red kidney beans!
I have found packets of pasta there which, while also too small, are still cheaper than anything I've found in the supermarkets!
I have found anti-static spray!
There are bits and pieces galore at Seria and I will find myself going there on a regular basis as Cassia gets older. I can't wait to start making fun stuff with her. Costumes, toys, games, etc. And all for a few hundred yen! Ah, life is good. All I need to do now is find a huge op shop and I'll be set (not that anything would fit me anyway, but that's not the point).

Seria is directly opposite the Numazu general post office on the main road through Numazu. (Sorry, I don't know the names of any of the roads around here.) But you can't miss it. The carpark is underneath, and the building has a huge dark green sign painted across the top.

There's a new bargain store here in town that I need to check out... but isn't it nice finding deals? :) BTW, I posted some more on my blog about homeschooling and socialization. I could say more on the topic, but I'll try to keep it bite-sized!
Thanks for that. I have no idea why, but I can't see your post on socialisation. And when I try to click on the link to it directly from my dashboard (because I follow your blog and get updates automatically) I get a message in Japanese from Blogger saying that the page doesn't exist. Argh.
Sorry-I changed the post because I forgot I was posting on the other blog Monday. It'll get posted Wednesday, okay? Didn't mean to confuse you!!!
