Shopping for groceries in Japan is complicated. Instead of conveniently going to one big grocery store in the States and coming home with a car load of food and staples, we make more trips to more places, often hauling it home in our backpack or bicycle basket.
I have 3 different small grocery stores near our house plus a vegetable market. Some places are cheaper, but don't offer all you are looking for, while some have more specialty foods. Add to that a stop at the 100 Yen Store that has inexpensive milk and juice.
(Yes, the cart is as small as it looks!)
I tell you I don't know where the Driscoll household would be without tasty orange juice for breakfast? (It's Tim's "coffee"!).
No gallons here. Put your metric-thinking-caps on since everything is in litters.
(It comes to about $4.25 for a gallon for milk.)
