You can find great deals for everyday living,

but today we've come to the Daiso in Shinyurigaoka and have a surprise for the kids.

OK so this is the largest Daiso I have ever been in

And today we're bringing the kids

And we're giving them each ¥500 to spend however they want

So let's go shopping together and see what treasures they will choose.

[Life in Japan Theme Song]

Ready, set, go!

Don't run though... No running.

Oh, I want to buy some of these to put in my...

I need a basket.

My budget is larger than ¥500.

I'm going to keep an eye open for something too because ¥500,

I don't know, that sounds fun. I could find something to buy.

I want a couple more to put in my window.

Oh yea.

But I think I prefer not bamboo.

As Momma chan shopped, I went to check to see how the kids were doing with their ¥500 challenge.

How many yen is this? Joshua, did you find something?

¥300. So you would have ¥200 left if you got that one.

There's some lego stuff?

Oh yea, look at all that Lego stuff, that's cool, huh?

Anna, did you see anything cool yet? No.

No, not yet?

Sarah, have you found anything yet that looks good?

Anything at all?

Uh, not really.

Not really? Not yet?

Becca, what did you find? What do you have so far?

Let me see. What is it?

It's like if you mess up with a pen you can make it white again and you can write on top of it.

How much is it?

¥100

¥100, you have ¥400 more Rebecca.

¥400 more.

I don't know how I'm going to do this!

How are you going to do it? I think you can.

Just look around enough until you find something you like.

How much is that? Let's see. This one?

It doesn't say. Where'd you get it? Go show me where you got it?

There it is. I think it's probably ¥100.

So if you get that, then you have one more ¥100 that you can spend.

Wow, you're doing good Dude.

I'm going to share it with everyone— 1, 2, 3, 4

Oh you're going to get that to share with everyone?

Joshua, that's so nice!

Look, you've got everything all figured out already, huh?

Why don't we go show Mommy, see what Mommy's found, OK?

Where is she?

Oh, hi Sarah. Oh, there's Sarah.

Sarah's still looking. Look, Joshua's already found out what he wants, see?

Hey Daddy, I want to know how much yen this is.

OK, let's see. Hang on...

OK this is ¥100

¥100 OK

Where's Anna?!

¥300 OK

And what are you doing with the treats?

Oh, I'm going to share with everyone.

Aw, aren't you so sweet. Anna?!

Let's see, what did you find Sarah?

Origami Oh, I knew you'd find something you wanted.

Ah, these are just too beautiful. I just can't buy it.

Wait, how much is this? Oh, let's see.

If it doesn't say, it's ¥100, OK?

It doesn't say. This doesn't say.

So each one of those is ¥100.

One, two, three, four — I get four! Yes! Oh my goodness.

You going to get all of those? Yes.

Out of this whole store, everyone ends up right here? My goodness.

Rebecca, Anna — have you found anything yet?

I did. You did?! Did you choose it?

Guys, I need to show you something where the drawing things are.

Come, come, come!

I want to show you something!

Then pens? Yea yea yea

With the girls off to see the pens, it was time to see what Ruth was up to.

Oh wow. We can get her a little coat.

Who's this for? Beth's puppy.

Is that one of Mommy's purchases?

Has Mommy even got a purchase yet?!

No. Not yet?! Amazing.

With Sarah and Joshua done shopping, the rest of us are still waiting for inspiration to strike.

This is interesting. They just like have hinges and construction stuff at this one.

Look who we run into here! Josiah, Jennifer and Sophia!

Are you guys staying under ¥500 so far?

Nope. Nope? Oh, you blew the budget!

Mommy has no budget. No budget.

That's right, Mommy's have no budget.

Becca, let me see. What did you get?

This. It's a corrector, like tape.

Let's see. Drawing Pen.

And this is to wipe that off when you make a mistake. That's right.

What else?

Stapler

And this is called a whiteboard notebook.

It's like for a whiteboard note kind of thing.

Wow.

And like an writing mat but with a ruler on the end

Rebecca, you did well. Way to go.

Good job.

Use my head.

Use my head!

Joshua's like "I'm all done. Can I just sit on the phone?"

Alright, I still have to find something. What am I going to find?

What if you got something like this?

Oh, a coin purse? That's kind of nice.

Oh.

Or do you not like it because it's not so deep to see into?

It's kind of cool.

That's big. You could put money on one side and coins in the other. Eh!

That is a little handy, isn't it?

Or just get a pretend wallet.

Look at this... That is a girl

Agradável.

"Pleasing" in Portuguese.

Oh no, I like that other one. This one?

Spacious. This one is your favorite so far?

Look Daddy, how about this?

Interesting. There's pink.

What about just a classic coin purse?

Sure, go with a classic coin purse. Classic.

I think I"m going to go classic Life in Japan red.

That's right.

I just need a logo here, maybe start selling these.

Is this not like the coolest Daiso?

I mean it's huge, it's wide...

There's tons of stuff here that you'd be surprised to find in a dollar store.

Wash day? Yes.

OK. Is that OK?

Weird.

Oh! Almost had a choice, but then...

Is this a laundry bag for you guys? What about the Mickie?

Mickie? Yeah.

I don't see the Mickie.

No, just take that.

Just take that one?!

These are smaller.

I like this one.

Oh

Do you like that for your laundry?

Yeah. Na.

It's so big. It is so big.

I think this is the best.

What the heck is this?

That's big too! It says Laundry

Laundry

Is it spelled right? I don't know.

It is.

Joshua, are you just all done? You found what you wanted so fast, didn't you?

I used like 30 minutes.

He found it so fast it was incredible.

Oh wow!

I want this! Uh oh.

Are you going to trade it for something else that you got?

Well, I want to...

Uh oh, well that's a hard choice. I don't know!

Ok next time, next time. Yea, next time.

Oh look, this clock is ¥500, I could get that.

No, you're not in it. I'm not?

Yeah, we're kids. It's only kids.

Oh!

If you're a daddy you have to pay with your own money. OK OK

You know who I haven't seen for awhile is Sarah. Where's Sarah?

I have not seen Sarah for a long time, let's go find her? OK.

Let's go. I think she's at the stationary.

You think so? Yea, me too.

With Sophia. Oh, with Sophia?!

Did she find her friend?

Yes, she is 100% over there

Or not? Oh, I see them.

Oh we found them! We found them!

Who wants treasure?

Hey Sarah, did you find what you're getting? Yeah.

You did? Did you find your friend?

Your friend! Sophia!

Bet you didn't know you'd find that at Daiso.

What is this? Oh, laundry!

It's for laundry.

Uh oh Dude, you found water guns.

Mine!

Oh, is that the one that you use? Yea.

Yea, it is. Maybe Mommy got it here.

Oh, I heard a Momma chan.

There she is.

Beautiful in all her ways.

Shall we go? Let's go!

Look what they do. They make you wait and checkout by all the snacks.

Boy, they know what they're doing, huh?

They want you to buy all the snacks Yeah.

Tempted!

They want to be like "Oh! Doesn't that look good?!"

Oh! It looks yummy.

Hey girls, how much do you think we're spending? Uh, ¥3,000.

¥10,000 ¥10,000?!

No no, less than 20... ¥5,000.

¥5,000?

¥3,000 Wow

¥3,000, ¥5,000

Do you have any guesses Sophia?

No, it's ¥2,000 for all of us.

I got two things, so. Oh, two things

Well that's good — maybe ¥200?

¥2,100

OK they all had guesses

What was your guess Becca? ¥5,000

Yours was?

¥3,000 ¥3,000

Sarah? ¥2,300

¥2,300?

Our total was ¥4,288

¥4,288?

It's me! It's me!

You were ¥5,000 and you were ¥3,000?

Yea, just barely!

And with that, it was time for some lunch with some bold little birds.

He really wants that fry down there!

He wants it.

He's like "How can I get it?"

Gotta get a running start! He goes from far away back close.

Oh there you go. Offer up the peace offering.

Oh my- oh my goodness! This is intense, Dude. Whoa Dude, no joke.

Watch this. Whoa, Momma chan!

I'm scared! This is the best Daiso day ever!

[blows] Whoa!

You have to shoot it up and then catch it again, Joshua!

Oh, the girls new laundry basket, that's nice guys.

Anna, I can't believe I forgot to ask you at the store- what did you get?!

I got this fan,

Cool, was that ¥300? Yea

This is ¥100

Nice.

And then this was ¥100 too.

Oh, very cool. Ah!

Good golly Dude! You almost hit me.

Careful!

I guess it's time to make a unicorn.

Anna staying cool and Sarah with your origami.

What a collection you have now, huh?

My favorite one is this. Whoa!

Move it around a little bit, let me see.

Oh careful!

Attack you with my [fan]

Oh no!

If you only had ¥500 to spend at a dollar store, what would you buy?
