OMG CK, you're so Japanese! "I'll go and do some non-emergency shopping at a milk bar/convenience store!"
Japanese people tell me that it's entirely natural to do quite a bit of your shopping at a "conbini", but recent arrivals always have to be disabused of this behaviour. Convenience stores are just so much more expensive here!
BTW, I buy my bread for $1.96. Supermarket brand bread is still bread, man. Tastes good and everything.

Not having any food in the house is an emergency isn't it? ...I guess that just means I lack foresight.
