The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

What are going on with avocados and kiwis? They were sold at  unreasonably low prices this week. 

I bought three avocados this week alone at; 92 yen on Monday, 89 yen on Wednesday and 59 yen (the lowest record in my entire avocado-shopping history )today. They did not seem to be categorized as second or third-class quality. They actually looked nicer than ones sold at 198 yen a couple of weeks ago.

Then, prices of kiwis are madly low as well. I usually buy a pack of four kiwis at 398 yen, if it is 298 yen, I would be very pleased. But recently, a pack of 10 costed around 548 yen and finally, there are mega packs containing at least 15 fruits at 598 yen. I am not talking about Costco. Is this because of the soured relationship between Australia and China? Have kiwis that had lost their destinations drifted to Japan?

Just for my shopping in the fist week of 2021.

Store open from 1 January:

AEON.

Open from 3 January:

Marukyo,

Gooday,

Bon Repas and

Nishitetsu Store.

Praliva opens on 2 January.

Eruroku opens on 5 January. 

However, as 3 Junuary is Sunday, serious shopping could only be commenced from 4 or 5 at earliest. 

Department stores? There is no such a store in my mind now. 

It should also be noted that post offices close from 31 December to 3 January.  On the first  opening day, 4 January, there should be long queues at the windows as well as ATMs.
