Ok Kawagoe

Good substitute for Costco in the Kanto area

If you don't drive and / or don't live near a Costco, Ok can be the answer to your shopping prayers! It is not as big as Costco, but the OK stores are very good value for money considering it is not bulk buying. Their meat is fairly standard costs and sometimes a little expensive, but their fruit, veg, baby goods and particularly their foreign produce is cheaper than most supermarkets. If you sign up to become a member you get a further 3% off your bill when you show your member card. It is easy to sign up for the card too, they create it there and then on the spot and you don't have to give much personal information. This branch is part of the Shimachu off route sixteen and route 254. Parking is plentiful and free. The shop is open from 10 am to 8 pm, seven days a week.
