How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
It's all available and all more expensive than the USA. When I left the US, milk was about $4 a gallon. Here it's more like $10. - May 2021
Same as DC. - Jul 2018
Household goods are available at Costco and while more expensive than the U.S., it's cheaper than local supermarkets. Costco is a ways away and local supermarkets have fresher food. Almost everything is available but it's more expensive. - Oct 2013
Groceries are expensive. The closest commissary is 8 hours away. However, FSOs can order from the Iwakuni Commissary and they will send items by Black Cat. - Aug 2006
