What $80 Gets You at a Costco in Japan 🇯🇵 My Monthly Haul

After ending June in the red, I'm trying to shop a little smarter this month — so today it's my monthly Costco run, on a budget. I walk the whole store: cameras and gadgets, the clothing corner, and of course all the food samples (bread ranks high on my "try a sample and end up buying it" list). I picked up whitebait, a fruit I'd never seen before, frozen gyoza, shio-koji, and my main target — iburigakko tartar — while my wife kept me honest on what we actually needed. In the end, $80 for a month's worth of food and a few finds. Then a food-court lunch and a simple dinner back home. This is a real, unfiltered look at Costco in Japan. 🛒 A budget monthly Costco haul in Japan — about $80 of food and finds. ☕ If you'd like to support the channel 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/kazuinjapan ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 🛒 A budget Costco run 0:15 🍳 Breakfast at home 1:31 🛒 Off to Costco 2:06 📷 Browsing cameras & goods 3:29 🧥 The clothing corner 5:13 🍞 Bread samples 6:41 🥩 Meat & mala noodles 8:34 🐟 Fish: whitebait & eel 9:44 🍑 A fruit I'd never seen 10:25 🥬 Kale and a caterpillar story 13:35 🍲 Pantry restocks 15:18 🍫 The snack corner 17:01 🎯 Today's main target 17:39 💴 The total 18:25 🍕 Costco food court lunch 19:23 🍚 Dinner at home #japan #costco #japanlife #japanvlog #vlog
