Today I went to Akihabara to see if there are any good bargains to be found. I heard that on New Years day, stores sell lucky bags (福袋) which are sold as a set price but you don’t know the contents inside, so it would be like a surprise. I walked around and didn’t find much interesting until I saw the DVD for Howl’s Moving Castle (Studio Ghibli animation movie) being sold for 2006 yen, that it almost half price from the normal price of 4700 yen. Afterwards I went to Yodobashi Camera to see if there was anything cheap to buy. I ended up buying a home appliance “lucky box” for 10,000 yen about $100 CDN. It was very heavy bringing back to the dorm. I was thinking of getting a hot water heater because its so cold in the dorm room, its like a garage because there is no insulation so I can get something hot to drink without having to boil water every time.

Inside the box was a Tiger hot water heater which I checked to be selling for 8100 yen at Yodobashi Camera, also Hitachi hair dryer, Tiger yogurt maker, T-FAL Steam Press, Hair Cutter, Mitsubishi water filter pitcher, stainless steel bottle, cup, and fried rice ball maker.
Original Prices that I could find:
Tiger Water Heater = 8100 yen
Hitachi Hair Dryer = 6300 yen
