CHIEF MATE ON A SHIP
I'm looking for absinthe but had to settle for Grand Marnier instead. I'm going to drink
it straight - now! My favorite market? The one closest to the hotel, of course. I don't
spend a thing on groceries - we get free meals on the ship.

What's in my basket? I'm buying salad and tofu to have for lunch today. I spend about
JY12,000 a week, usually at my favorite place: the grocery store closest to my house.

....eggs, tofu and whatever else you fancy putting in that shopping basket. This week our
roving reporter looks to get to the bottom of what you're buying, so tell us where you go
to bring home the bacon - and how much that pigging out sets you back each week. Oink
oink.
MIDORI TAKAHASHI/STYLIST
I'm buying vegetables so I can turn them into a salad and then photograph it. My favorite
places to buy photogenic veggies are Kinokuniya and Natural House. I spend about
JY8000/week on my food supplies.
SATOJI/SCULPTOR
I'm here to buy fish so I can make fish steaks tomorrow night. My favorite place to shop
is Marusho in Yotsuya though I don't go too often-I only spend JY1800 a week on groceries.
