I just saw someone buy 3 pots of Greek yogurt!!!

1,700 en for one pot of Greek yoghurt? Really? Takai desu ne! Fukuoka ni mo youshoku wa totemo takakatta desu.

I was more or less thinking 'so what?' when I read the thread title because I buy at least that number when shopping.....then I saw the price of the yoghurt!!! That is the equivalent of over £10 a tub here!!

ExDH bought me a $100 melon to eat when I was expecting. My friends all joked it was for his son. It was good but not $100 good. Say for example, Japanese white flesh peaches are huge and sweet as candy. They are that good. I would rather buy 10 boxes of them instead of a melon. But it was a status thing for him to do in front of my sister. 

That is a crazy price, but honestly? If you want something bad enough, you'll pay whatever it costs. I buy foods that are crazily priced because that's the only thing that will do for whatever purpose. If I was in Japan and I wanted yoghurt, I would pay that. Greek is the only kind of yoghurt I like and the custard version (which I've had and think has a nasty texture) just wouldn't cut it.

I guess Greek yogurt in Japan is the equivalent of Kobe beef here in the US? I would be willing to work out a trade except I don't think it would be possible to ship the items each way. sigh.

I really like Greek yogurt with granola for breakfast. I like it much better than regular yogurt. If I had the money I'd buy it too.

I was wondering the same thing.  I buy the huge Costco tubs, and coincidentally buy three at a time because I don't go to Costco too often and I can definitely consume 3 tubs before the expiration date.  I have mine with honey and GrapeNuts or AllBran cereal sprinkled on top.  

I wonder if the woman was super wealthy and thought nothing of the price?  And I'm still wondering what size pot it was.
