Fukubukuro

Like home, the sales are on and in addition to discounting items, it is common for stores to sell “treasure bags” or "happy bags" (aka “grab bags) known as fukubukuro. A set price is the cost of the bag and it contents far exceed the cost. The bag is sealed to keep the contents a mystery. Since I still find it hit and miss whether woman's clothing will fit me properly, I decided to give the fukubukuro another chance (I bought one my first New Year in Japan) at a children's boutique in our neighborhood that recently opened. I was pleasantly surprised and Roo now has more trousers, which he needed.
