I like shopping, most of the time! At the moment it's a bit stressful as the things I need to buy and the things I would love to buy cost a lot more than the money I have!
Today I went to a large home center near here. It's a DIY shop, garden center, pet shop (pet goods not animals), many lovely things for the kitchen, and a furniture store. Christopher came with me I needed to buy some spray for the bees and some different cleaning agents. It really helps to be able to read Japanese!
I wandered through the furniture store, just sighing at all the beautiful furniture, thinking how this or that would look in the house but realizing that I don't have the budget now and how to keep things nice with the cats!
Then I got sidetracked by the kitchen department. I saw things that I might treat myself to once we are settled in. One thing that caught my eye was these placemats

Then onto a discount store. Not sure why it's called a discount store as it's not really that cheap! This store has a supermarket in it. They usually have good fruit there. I got some grapes and cut watermelon. The meat is sometimes a bit cheaper than the local supermarket, today the mince was a decent price, so tomorrow's lunch will be hamburgers.
The last place I went was the 100 yen shop. That is the most dangerous place for me. Lovely goods at 100 yen. I go around putting things in my basket, thinking "It's only 100 yen", the problem is that those 100 yens add up. Today I resisted temptation, just 500 yen, again cleaning products.
The last place I stopped into was a recycle shop. The name of the shop always makes me smile.

I often wonder if the person who came up with that shop name knew what a fly is!! When I first saw this shop I had the image of old things with flies hovering over them!! But the goods are good quality!
Nice morning shopping. Just need a lot more money!
