The dollar store is a place where you can buy mediocre items for low prices. The feeling of saving money mixed with the risk of the crap you bought not working can be quite exhilarating. One of the most popular ¥100 shops in Japan is Daiso...
They have so many items that are essential to my daily life...
like face cream...
awards to inspire you to win finish...
chemicals to keep rodents away...
and keep away pesky domesticated animals...
beautiful decorative signs...
and delicious snacks...
While ¥100 is really about $1.30 the items in this store are priceless.
