OK Today we're going to come to one of my favorite stores: the 100 yen store.

Adverbs of degree

Come see what wonderful things we can buy for just one dollar.

So this is one of my favorite stores to come to because, for one thing, I can afford everything. Ha ha!

Also there's so many useful and unique things to Japan that I find here.

Right now it's halloween. I don't decorate for halloween, I decorate for fall.

But it's great because you can buy these little bags for candies and for plates,

And they have all this such cute tape. And it's all such cute designs.

But I love the pumpkin, I'm not a huge ghost fan.

I wish they sold just the pumpkin, actually I might just buy this because I like the pumpkin.

And they even sell live plants. Look, you can buy tiny little cactuses,

So in this section we have all our cosmetics and face brushes and makeup and stuff like that.

I don't really buy much makeup at a dollar because I'm a little leery sometimes.

But one thing we do buy a ton of here is pencils and markers and erasers

And here in Japan they have these things — they're pencil lids.

So all the kids put them on their pencils and they have like milk cartons, and ice cream things

And of course, this is cars, and they have princesses, I mean, anything you can imagine.

And all the cute, cute erasers. I mean, look at this!

I have to contain myself, otherwise I buy too much.

Look at this! Who can resist all this glitter tape — for a dollar?!

And then I buy a lot of stuff down this aisle.

It's all paper supplies and I do crafts with the kids

And all the origami papers and box cutters and scissors and mats and tape and play doh and...

So right now at home we're making stuffed animals, so the girls need stuffing.

A couple things, like this glue gun, it's 200 yen.

So you do have to be careful because some things are a little different in price.

This is all the craft supplies, all the gifting, all these cute little bags.

Oh my goodness — and like ziplock bags, how cute are these bags?!

All the strings, although I have not had too great of success with these threads from Daiso.

So I do go to a craft store for thread for my sewing machine.

3, 2, 1 Oh yeah. What else do they have here Joshua?

So when you can't bend, when you have a big tummy, you just can pick it up.

There's more stuff. There's more stuff? Like what?

You can't take them out. You can't take them out, yeah, they're not meant to be played with, are they?

So one thing I love is this thing — it's a knife sharpener.

The stones are already tilted to the right angle, so all you have to do is slide your knife through and it sharpens it. It's perfect.

Let me show you the lunch, the bento supplies.

Here they have all these tiny little cute things that you can put your different little bento separate things in.

And then they have all these little sticks.

Like you can put them in sausages, or in apples or in fruit.

So you put your rice in that and push it down and it comes out into little shapes

And they have these little ones that you cut out the seaweed, the nori, to make the eyes and nose.

And then they have some that just make little rice balls.

But also with the little faces on them, so it makes it easier to put the nori on it.

And then they have these tiny little containers for sauces, look at these: for soy sauce.

You squeeze it in, you put it in the bento, it's disposable, they squeeze out their soy sauce, and it's all done.

You forgot your money? OK, mommy can lend you some money, ok?

And then they have all the ice packs. They have big ice packs, small little ice packs to put in your lunch bags.

They have tons of options of thermal lunch bags.

Of course these, you have to see, they're 200 yen.

They have all the wrapping for your onigiri.

The right size and you can put your nori on it and it won't get mushy.

Of course these are a little bigger so they are a little more expensive.

I bought something like this for camping.

And then they have all these different — like this is just a dollar — bento box.

They have your little ones. You can buy your chopstick sets.

You can buy these tiny little ones that come with chopsticks and fork and spoon

And you attach them to the handle so that they're very compact.

These the kids like. It's a fork and spoon and mini chopsticks all in it.

Of course that one, you see, is 150 yen. But still!

They have some great cleaning supplies that I love. Here come, let me show you.

OK, they have these, in English I guess they're called Mosquito Net Dish Cloth.

I love these! I usually actually get this one because there's three in here for a dollar!

And they're great for wiping off you counter, and around your kitchen and sink and stuff.
