I'm accustomed to buying things at a discount in Tokyo, but can't seem to find Frisk mints discounted anywhere! They're always the same price, right around 195 - 200 yen a box. Has anyone found a place where they are discounted? If so, what did you pay? Or are they sold in bulk amounts somewhere?

Thanks! However...

Thanks, Hiroyuki! Actually the mail order makes sense if you order more than one carton of 12, since the total savings of 480 yen is offset by a 450 yen shipping fee.

As for Nakano, I do pass by it on the Chuo Line occasionally, but again getting off the train and getting back on would ost money.


Best areas for me are Ogikubo, Yurakucho, Yotsuya, or Shinagawa. Any ideas for shopping in those areas?
