The prices at markets that claim to offer "passionate prices" and the like are in an "all-you-can-eat" state. In Japan, people seem to be willing to raise prices even by a few percent, but Japanese foodstuffs at this market have doubled in price from a little while ago, or even increased by 100 percent, without hesitation. I guess they are trying to make up for the loss of revenue caused by the Corona disaster, but the fact that the number of shoppers has not decreased even at these prices suggests that sales are much higher than before the Corona disaster and revenue is increasing.
Even for locally manufactured and sold products, which should not be so expensive in terms of transportation costs and raw materials, the local Japanese and Japanese-Americans end up buying them no matter how expensive they are, so I feel that they are setting absurd prices in a state of so-called "hiked prices". ?
Of course, they are relatively modest in raising prices for necessities and prominent products because they would be exposed if they raise prices all at once, but even so, they raise prices many times in a short period of time.
When the store first opened after the acquisition, there were parts where I could see the business attitude of a Japanese company with the concept of cheap sales, but I wonder if they are changing their business attitude to one where they carry everything on a large scale, but the prices are high, but you buy it because you need it anyway ?. ? For those of us who eat mainly Japanese food, I was complaining about the business that makes me want to boycott them, which I cannot do even if I wanted to.

#172 It depends on the occasion, but sometimes I go to 2~3 supermarkets.
If I go downtown, there are two Japanese supermarkets close by, so
I sometimes shop around, comparing this one here and that one there. I used to do this in Japan and in other states where I used to live, but don't you do it ??

I think everyone is shopping wisely, so I don't think you are going to make meaningless purchases. It is normal to shop efficiently and without loss, considering distance and time. Ten stores for ten products... I think it is good to use common sense.
Still, some people will go and some won't.

I am like #173, I shop there.
I use the app every Tuesday or Wednesday to compare prices and decide what day of the week and where to shop.

I often go to SK. Ignoring people who are like that, who want to make things difficult by pretending to be silly, is the best thing to do.
