Fukuoka - Post Report Question and Answers
How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
A bit pricer than the U.S., especially fruit and vegetables. Costco in Hisayama carries most of the stuff you can find in the States. However, if you are living in a Japanese house, it is more than likely that it cannot accommodate a lot of bulk items. Sony Plaza has more foreign snacks. They are on the pricey end, but it's because they are imported. Foreign Buyer's Club on-line offers lots of foreign products, including a specialty Brit shop. - Jan 2007
