My family and I visited the 100 Yen shop in Ipoh on Tuesday. Actually I was attracted to the Lucky Cat which was standing sentinel outside the exit of the shop and wanted to take photos with it. And so I made my mum and aunt go with me. Everything in the shop is priced at RM 4.90 and so the customers do not really need to ask how much an item cost. Most of the items sold are made in Japan. Did I buy anything? Yes, an air freshener for my car.
INFO ABOUT THE 100-YEN SHOPS
100 Yen Shops (Japanese:百円ショップ hyaku-en shoppu, or One Coin Shops) have steadily gained in popularity over the last several years. 100 Yen shops are everywhere in Japan, and they stock a variety of items from clothing to stationery, housewares to food, with each item priced at 100 yen. A recent variation of the 100 Yen Shops are 99 Yen Shops. Daiei also operates 88 Yen stores. The current Japanese sales tax of 5% is also added, making a 100 Yen purchase actually cost 105 Yen.
