Overview

Since the bursting of the bubble economy, a saving boom has taken root. People who want to reduce their expenses as much as possible are flocking to ticket stores. A dispatched worker comes to buy a subway ticket to save 10 yen; a woman enjoys eating out at a department store with a gift certificate that costs 36 yen less; and a man buys an expensive gift certificate and buys it at the same time. On the other hand, there are also foreigners who buy expensive gift certificates in bulk. What kind of happiness do people dream of beyond saving money? A story of people and money in a small storefront.
