On the 3rd, Seven-Eleven Japan announced that it will be expanding its range of value-for-money products, citing an increasing need for savings among convenience store customers due to rising prices. The products covered by the campaign will be labelled “Great Prices!” and approximately 270 items will be available by the end of September. According to the company, from mid-July this year, they began selling their standard products “Hand-rolled Onigiri with Tuna Mayonnaise” and “Hand-rolled Onigiri with Salmon” at a more affordable price of 138 yen (tax included) as “Great Value!” products, and as a result, overall onigiri sales increased by approximately 10% compared to before the launch. Starting on the 3rd, the restaurant has reduced the prices of its Mapo Rice Bowl, Butter Chicken Curry, and Gomoku Fried Rice, which were previously offered for 399 yen (tax included), by approximately 50 yen, and started selling them for 348 yen (tax included). The price reductions were achieved by reviewing raw material procurement and streamlining the manufacturing process. In the future, the company plans to expand beyond food to include frequently used everyday items such as toilet paper and detergent. That day, Nao Haneishi, head of product division, appeared at an information session held at the company’s headquarters in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. “I want to dispel the image that convenience stores are expensive. “We aim to increase the number of great value items available and encourage customers to visit the store more frequently.” [Kato Yuka] Mainichi Shimbun 2024/9/4 07:30 (last updated 9/4 07:30).

>>1 While the rest of the world is competing to lower prices and devalue its currency, Japan is the only country that is raising prices and raising its currency, destroying Japanese products and Japanese jobs, leading to bankruptcies, restructuring, and a lost 30 years. The strong yen meant that only the citizens of countries that paid taxes and loans in yen suffered. Liberal, 1990: “The strong yen makes it cheaper to buy foreign and Chinese products. Abolish Japanese products and Japanese employment! Replace all Japanese products, Japanese employment, and Japanese-born children with foreign products!” 1970 → 360 yen to the dollar 1985 → 260 yen to the dollar → Plaza Accord 1986 → 150 yen to the dollar 2011 → 3.11 Democratic Party explodes nuclear plant, making 76 yen to the dollar 2012 → Reconstruction tax increase makes 75 yen to the dollar Animators, media-related, media, video-related, SEs, programmers, IT engineers, semiconductors, etc. have been dumped on China and Korea due to the high yen for 30 years, and the Japanese people are perishing. The drugs and vaccines used to increase social security contributions are almost entirely made overseas.

>>1 Mattoriously Lefty: “I’m never letting go of the yen I’ve saved up! A 100% interest rate hike will make 1 yen to the dollar!” Mattoriously Lefty: “In this glacial age of loans and debt, we’ll give you a gift of interest rate hikes and a strong yen!” Loan glacial age: “Don’t mess with me! Don’t mess with our greedy interest rate hikes and yen repayments when the yen is strong!” Even if the rich (those who own yen) get richer through a strong yen, there will be no trickle-down effect. The strong yen did not flow to the ice age or to the poor.
Seven-Eleven Japan: “We’re lowering the prices!!” With the new raised lunchbox containers, the wrapping that makes the contents look fake, and the improved manufacturing technology for empty rice balls, they can still make a profit even if they lower the prices lol.
No, what’s the point in trying to cut prices now? The proper way to do this would be to let prices rise slightly and put pressure on wages to go up. Since when have we become a deflationary nation?
In the end, the Japanese people have become poor because of the weak yen, which has led to stagnant wages while the government has allowed prices to continue to rise.
Maybe they’ve raised prices too much and are starting to lose customers? Inflation has gotten so bad in America that customers are starting to leave eating out, and McDonald’s has started offering affordable $5 meals to lure customers back.
