Japanese Drugstore Shopping and Seeing the Cherry Blossom in Tokyo

Hello guys! Just imagine yourself you're inside a candy store with lots of great stuffs and the variety is endless. What do you think about it? It feels amazing, right? That was basically my feelings when I was inside a drugstore in Japan. Unlimited happiness will all smiles from ear to ear.



Matsumoto Kiyoshi is one of Japan's most famous drugstore. It literally has more cosmetics products available. It also sells drugstore related goods, skincare products, some snacks, beauty tools and many more items for females.

TIPS how to Shop Effectively
1. Always research ahead.
It really helps. By doing this, you can already imagine a rough estimate how much you're willing to spend and the kind of items you might end up buying. Also, when you research ahead, it filters the good stuffs from the bad ones. That means you're only buying the best sellers.

2. You can always ask.
If you have Japanese friends, ask them for good products and especially the effective ones. That way, you'll get your money's worth absolutely. Also, you can ask the staff in the store if the you're really buying the right ones. It's better to be sure than to be sorry in the end.

3. Always check if the shop has a tax free system.
Of course, shopping and saving some money in return always feel rewarding. That way, you can really maximize your financial resources at that same time too.

4. You can always try something new.
This is like a sweet little treat to yourself. You can like try some products by actually swatching them. If it's reasonable, then why not buy it. It's not everyday that you can travel to Japan. I'm sure one or two products won't burn the pockets.

5. It doesn't mean it looks pretty and cute then you're buying it instantly.
Sometimes looks can be deceiving. I tell you. Being inside a Japanese drugstore is like a maze filled with wonderful and kawaii products. Your heart gets too excited and that adrenaline rush gives a message to your brain that you'll buy all. Well, think and consider it many times before buying it. If it's functional and if you think you can use it everyday, then buy it. If it's just because it's new and trendy, then it might be just a temporary feeling of liking the product. Being a wise consumer is always way cooler than just hoarding things and wasting money after. :)
