Please tell me what prices are in Japanese supermarkets and how to make money if you don’t have home

1. YouTube is your friend here. There’s plenty of “grocery store walkthrough” videos in which people just video themselves walking through a grocery store. You’ll see all kinds of products and varieties as well as licensed stuff (for example, the staggering amount of Anpanman products) as well as the price tags. Some of them even include the checkout and bagging process. Remember that, like America, tax is added at the register in Japan, but a lot of price tags will include the price with tax in smaller font beneath. Warning: fruit is quite expensive.

   You also don’t need a home to make money. You can have a job even if you’re homeless. I’ve seen a few documentaries about people, especially in the anime industry, who make so little, that they live in the office or make use of facilities in things like manga/internet cafes.

2. How are you planning on getting a visa like that?

3. Nowadays aluminum prices are so high that many financially-challenged people collect aluminum cans at garbage-collection sites. Strictly speaking, this is illegal but you rarely get arrested.

4. Thank you very much for your comments!
