Last time I wrote about DAISO- Korea here. I think that another spot for students who struggle with their budget is HOMEPLUS and EMART- (이마트). They are the largest retailers in South Korea with 127 stores across the country. A subsidiary of Sinsaegae Stores (of Samsung).
HomePlus and Emart - have also specialized in 'all that you need' stores. Prices are good, sales are very frequent on both food stuff and other products...and one can find just about everything there.
My most memorable event was the one when I saw a rice cooker of medium size sold for only 22,000 won, which otherwise, sells for 55,000 won(55USD).
Don't forget to give these stores a try!Photos of my trip to Homrplus!
Part -3 of Student Friendly shopping will deal with 'On the Street and Shopping at KIA's Bongo Trucks' ( frequently seen loaded with garlic, onion, melons and other fresh produce and yes, a loud speaker - that can drive anyone crazy with it's recorded message: manul chun won, yong phal chun won, sundu bu: chun won [1000 won] - driven by usually very upset ajjoshies...that is the cheapest among all - so dont miss it...^^
TIP: After 8:30 p.m, every day, Homeplus further discounts ready -to-use food products and vegetables :-)
