I saw a few bento shops around the neighborhood of the hotel we stay in, maybe I should check them out while we're there. ^^linahttp://urutoranohihi.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-5671371207841860102011-10-28T00:13:11.945+08:002011-10-28T00:13:11.945+08:00Lot's of interesting tips.

I prefer going to a bento shop like Origin or Hotto Motto. Not as cheap as 300 yen, but at least it's fresh. Still an average of 500 yen or less.<br /><br />Other tips, I find convenience stores don't discount much at all, especially 7-11. Department stores usually discount food at 1:45pm and again around 6:45pm. Supermarkets usually have better food than a convenience store and their discounts usually start around 3pm and 9pm. Izakaya are a great way to go out drinking and still save money. What usually costs $30/person in Canada can be about 1000 yen. But you can't compare bar food. :)Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08002643968517980587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-26285138155867875902011-10-24T22:54:18.502+08:002011-10-24T22:54:18.502+08:00@foong,

It's hard for you especially when you are on your own here.

Living in Malaysia, we are faced with the same issue too. Either eat at a nice posh restaurant or go eat at the Mamak - it's our choice. With some research, Japan (and any other country) can be affordable.<br /><br />RM12,000 for 3 for a two weeks' holiday is rather a bargain, right? That's our yearly budget for our Japan trip. (Shopping excluded though. Hahah)linahttp://urutoranohihi.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
