I love ice cream, but I would go broke if I exclusively bought Hokey Pokey from Hanamasa or Lady Borden that just evaporates in less than a day, so I always buy those 2L Familia from Gyomu at just 500yen, lasts me at least two weeks.
Anything else of the sort?

The ピーナッツチョコレート that you can get for like 100 yen at the grocery store. I love good chocolate but sometimes I just want the cheap kind.
Quality junk food.. Isn’t that the very definition of an oxymoron?
“Bourbon” brand Choco Digestive biscuits. 98 yen + tax at my local super, around 17 biscuits per pack, very moreish. These ones: [https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41c-woe+yGL._AC_.jpg](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41c-woe+yGL._AC_.jpg)
forgot the name but it is a huge pack of coconut flavored biscuits for less than 200 yen
Speedrunning Diabetes I see… Good good.
Black thunder! 3 for 100 yen at daiso. I love them.
Does butt chugging Strong Zero tallboys count?
チロル/TIROL chocolates. I expected it to just be a plain piece of chocolate, but it’s has coffee nougat in the middle!
Well worth the ¥24 (even tho they used to be cheaper…)
TopValu has a good double caramel that costs somewhere between Familia and Lady B.
When I get udon for my wife, she wants the plainest, cheapest type (frozen) possible.
Daiso or Lawson 100 will sort you out for normal sized snacks. Or, harvest from the bountiful bosom of Tamade or Gyoumu super for cheap bulk size snacks, they always have sale family packs of something or the other for ~300 yen. My personal rec from Gyoumu is the ridiculous とろけるキャラメルプリン, it’s only 298 yen for literally a litre of rich purin confined within a milk carton and slaps so hard (unfortunately the og purin flavour is a lot more watery, but they have many other fun desserts in carton form to try!).
Lady Borden (big) lasts me 3 days–how are you eating that much in one go lol
The cheap vegetable shelf at the supermarket is always a good option, especially if you’re going to make soup and/or use them in the next day or two.
Also, supermarkets tend to put things on sale when they only have 3 months expiry left, which is more than enough if you’re not hoarding.
And Gyomu Super everything of course (including the frozen veg from Europe)
And at least here in Kyushu, chicken, pork and fish are always very cheap. Beef is always expensive BUT often also has deals if it’s close to expiring.
Not Japanese, but been here 22 years. うまい輪that’s all I have to say. You can thank me later.

The topvalu ice cream from aeon comes in 1l and 2l and is actually アイスクリーム and not ラクトアイス like the ones from gyomu. Pretty cheap as well.
