Three days of groceries. A sunny autumn day in Hokkaido.
This is my frugal life — small, quiet, and simple. And I think it is happiness.
In the morning, I clean as usual and prepare for winter: the down comforter comes out, the kotatsu is set up, and the cats come to "help." After a short walk under pale autumn leaves, I go shopping at a local supermarket with my new camera, and then enjoy a simple lunch of leftovers at home.
All prices in this video are converted into US dollars at the rate of $1 = ¥157.3 (Oct 1, 2026). Today's three days of groceries came to $20.19.
It is not a perfect budget, and I am not trying to prove anything. I simply chose this way of living, and I am glad I did.
What does a typical grocery run cost where you live? I would love to hear it in the comments.

I hope that today will be a wonderful day, and that your weekend was good to you.
Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. Watching the color of the leaves change, and walking with a slight chilled breeze, and a crispness in the air. I have to say that it truly is beautiful this time of year in your country.
It was cute seeing your little helpers as you prepare your home for the cooler days, and one cannot help but smile for anytime is the right moment for playtime. 😂
I very much enjoyed seeing the store as you shopped, and the new camera films beautifully. Plus, I have to complement you putting the video together. Although I have not a channel myself, but I can only imagine the time it takes, plus uploading time as well. You honestly do a wonderful job, and it shows in your final results. Videos that are well written and told, heartwarming, and atmospheric with the outdoor moments that brings happiness to so many.
I hope that whatever this new day may bring you and your husband, I truly hope that it will bring as much happiness as you give us all.
Always I hope and with the very best for you, your friends and your loved ones.
Thank you, Mizu, for sharing these moments with us all. 🌸✨
*. The initial "Thumbnail" that appears on YouTube's main page is not part of your Channel. It should not be thought of as an introduction. Thus, there isn't an Introduction The sudden opening of the freezer door makes the viewer wonder about location. In other words. sequence -- 1. Zoom to freezer. 2. Open door. 3. Door opens from inside (if important) and 4. closes.
* IMHO. The Introduction should be one clip using the same format as the YouTube's Thumbnail but containing a brief list of content. I feel the many short clips confusing.
* I conduct a study of striped socks and bare feet. 🤔
* Mmm, perhaps I should adopt a cat.
*Yes, "everyone" is extremely curious about the summer-to-winter table modification ?
* Wow, such a huge superstore and so few customers ... and seemingly inexpensive !!
* Three. (3) days seems unusual. I assume that the next visit will suffice for 4 days ? Ha !!
* Very enjoyable Mizu-san -- Now I'll re-visit and enjoy a walk through the sunlit trees.
