In Japanese supermarket, how to get cheap products

In Japan, there are many rich people, They live in high classed apartments. And they can go to high leveled supermarket, I guess.
But, unfortunately there are poor people, who can not be rich. And I think poor people are many comparing rich people.
By the way, I guess the poor people have to save daily payment. So they should find cheap shop. But, especially foreign people, it is difficult to know the cheap shop.
So in this article, I will introduce about cheap shopping in supermarket. If you can save the daily money, I am glad.


1.Advertisement

First of all, looking for the cheap items by the advertisement of supermarket is very important.
Usually supermarket advertises daily sales. For example, there are discount vegetables or eggs.
But, you have take care about some information.
Firstly, in the sale, number of people that can buy the products are limited. For example, there are the cheap eggs only 100. So only 100 people can buy them.
Secondary, number of possible to buy is limited. For example, the products are sold only one products by one person. So if you have to get the two products, you will not be allow only one person. So if two products are needed, two people have to go.
Thirdly, if the supermarket had cheap products, another supermarket might sell the same products more cheaper. Then comparing another supermarket price is very important.


2.Discount stickers

Next, you should know about discount stickers.
Sometimes, supermarket stuff put a stickers on the products. And the stickers wrote how much discount. And in the products are price down when you would pay.

Half price

And sometimes, the stickers that the just discount price wrote would put on the products.

509 yen to 160 yen

3.Time sale

In Japanese supermarket, time sales are open very often. I think the sales are almost about foods. For example, at 3:00, the time sale of 20 parents off is opened. At the time sell starting, stuff would start to putting on the 20 parents off stickers. Then the products would be discounted.
But usually the time sale is number of products limited. For example, in the time sale, the products are only 50 limited.


4.Before the supermarket close

Usually supermarkets discount the products at before close. Then if you would go to the supermarket before 15 minutes before close, the products would be price down.
But this discount is limited till the extra. So if you want to buy this products, you should go and wait the discount will be started.


5.About getting the information

When you buy something, the information will be very important.
Which supermarket is cheap. How about the discount products.
So you should collect the information.
And Sometimes drug store would have the discount sale. So you should compare to supermarket and drug store.
Perhaps you might have it is so hard. But I want you to know many Japanese people buy the daily foods and items in such a
direction.


Anyway you might feel a little bad. However if you want to save the daily payment, you have to struggle in the shopping.
Perhaps, you would be felt it a kind of war. But, for saving the price, win the war!
