  2000 yen for strawberries? How much strawberry is that? I got a handful of strawberries for ¥862 today.

  Yes, the rice is expensive.

    I was being slightly hypobolic. Because yes there are strawberries under 2000 as well. Even 800 yen is high compared to the states.

  To be fair though, February 10 is not exactly strawberry season. So that blame in part goes to this annoying “nature” dude, who came up with “seasons” and shit just to raise prices.

  The general point is true, though. Same with apples right now… you look away one second, they jump from 200 to 400円 each 😐

  At least (well, debatable) the fruit don’t shrink away at the same time like all the other goods.

    Just got these from the grocery store and they’re like the size of an apple.
