The government checks the prices of goods and services used in households every month. In July, prices increased by 1.8% compared to last year. Among these, the prices of food items such as 'green tea' rose by 29.2% and 'potato chips' by 13.3%. Due to the rising prices of goods, some stores are rethinking their sales strategies. A supermarket in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture, has simplified the way they display products. They are arranging items while still in their boxes and selling drinks without chilling them. A store representative said, 'We want to sell as cheaply as possible, even if it's just by one yen, by minimizing expenses.'
