Discount Ticket Shops (2004-07-08)
It is expensive to live in Tokyo but there are ways to reduce cost if you know how. One of them is to do your shopping at discount shops. I go to Ueno (
) to buy cheap grocery and I go to
ticket
discount shops to buy tickets. These shops sell all sorts of
tickets such as movie tickets, train tickets, department store gift
vouchers and even phone cards. I always get our Keisei Line
tickets from these stores to go to the airport. Since they are
valid for six months, we can use them on our way back to Tokyo as
well. The price on these tickets varies but I can count on saving
twenty to thirty percent off those tickets sold at the train station in
Ueno. Sometimes you
don't get that much of a saving on other tickets, but like my friend
says, "If you can pay a hundred yen ( about a buck) less, why the heck
not?" When you're watching the budget, every cent counts.Back to top
