The reason the tax isnt added already in USA is because the tax is different everywhere. It's all pretty close but slightly different. Plus some things don't have tax and that can also vary from state to state. In my state there is no tax on clothing but in other states they do tax that

"Just" a little FYI. The JUST Water you had with dinner on your day of vegetarian food, is from a local natural spring-fed preserve where I live, in the Adirondacks in New York State (USA). Their bottling plant is just a few minutes' walk from my house. LOL The company was actually founded by Will Smith and his son Jaden. 😃
This is one of the first videos I ever watched from Alex. Her content brought me so much comfort in the last few years. I can't believe she's gone, my heart is shattered. May her sweet soul rest peacefully ❤️
As a Mexican who lives in Canada and is vegan and is in high school, food is very boring and I can’t eat much stuff I used to because now I’m on an even more strict diet because I’m only getting sugar from fruits and no salt if possible so then I can lose weight ;-; I really don’t like it but at least I get one day off every week so I can have whatever I want that day (oh and I have to be vegetarian two days a week because if I don’t , i will start to have problems with my body, y know what I mean??)
Broke college student in Japan: eating full coarse meals for every sitting and still having spare money Broke American students: Eats a protein bar for breakfast Skips lunch altogether And then has a pack of ramen for dinner We love that❤️❤️❤️
Why do people not understand what the word "broke" means??? People who can afford to spend $8 per meal ARE NOT BROKE. Being bad with money also isn't being broke! I live in California and eat healthy on $5 or less PER DAY. It's called being responsible with money and cooking at home.
@@Lindseyisloony exactly!! My daughter just finish collage and she preferred to cook in her dorm and saved so much money. Especially when she split the food bill with her dorm mate
I actually appreciate that she did not lie like most others "oooh this is amazing blah blah" she showed genuine reactions to the food. Transparency is great. Saying where you come from can change what you like
Good to see I'm not the only one here to see Alex's smile and happy personality in this video after the news. This was one of the first videos of hers I watched and loved it so much. RIP Alex and best wishes to everyone heartbroken by her passing. You will be missed Alex. ❤
@@lizzyseymour3690 it's possible, and vegan restaurants are starting to be a thing, but its very hard to find convenience foods. you'll have to do a lot of cooking yourself like what alex did with the kimchi/tofu/rice.

Electragirl5 nope eggs are basically a chickens period so if it has not been in contact with a male the eggs are not fertile and would be laid no matter what the only problem would be if the chickens weren’t treated right which they probably weren’t idk how it is in Asia
Pretty sure eating eggs is not considered vegetarian because they do not eat any animal products at all and last time I checked eggs are an animal product. Maybe it's just the I u.s. that does that but eating eggs defeats the purpose of becoming a vegetarian. Coming from a long line and large family of vegetarians and vegans and raw diets
@@crystalmariedemecs9257 you're thinking of a vegan, not a vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat animals but do eat animal by product, like eggs, honey, and dairy. Vegans don't eat any of it.
Like some, this was my first video from Alex. I loved her instantly. Her voice. Her charisma. Her kindness. A gentle soul. A soul lost too early and too instantly. May her soul rest and transcend into her beloved bird.

This is like the 3rd time I've watched this video and I still think it is the most fun and honest video about combini in Japan. I hope you can go back some day and show us more about food and clothing there :D
@@andrewgarduno775 lol compared to Australian prices, 7-eleven prices and quality in Japan kicks serious butt. You wouldn't find anything as good as what Alex found for $7 and certainly would be not as healthy-ish or safe to eat lol
I went to Japan and literally all breakfasts/lunches we had were at 7eleven. 7 eleven in Japan is on a whole other level of deliciousness in their food like even better than some "proper" restaurants I know also as long as I remember pretty cheap and you had where to sit, where to heat up the meals, and you could even buy clothes or Disney tickets there, man I wish I could have a 7 eleven like that where i live
Me too! I’m so jealous. 7/11’s in Japan are AMAZING where as a 7/11 in California where I live is awful, all the way around. Be careful not to get shot, watch out for the shady people who loiter outside of it & food there is crap. And definitely not cheap at all.
I watched all her video last year preparing for my trip in Jan 2024 and I’m so glad I got to enjoy all her videos while she was here. She is just one of my favourite people online and I hope she passed peacefully 💞
rip beautiful angel, you deserved so much better. i wish you got the support you needed, mental health is so important, and we just want to be loved. I am just so sorry. 😢
Almond m!lk so a grocery store sells food you can take home and cook with them and convenience stores carry things that you can grab and eat right away?
Her: *I ate rice 3 times today!* Me being asian: *I am forced to eat rice everyday with everything I-* Edit: Holy why do I have a lot of likes? I can’t wait to eat more rice for Thanksgiving. Edit 2: It is a New Year and same rice 😥
I’m not Asian, but I love rice. I eat it often and my rice cooker is one of my favorite possessions. Sticky rice and Jasmine rice are my favorites. I also really like parboiled rice.
"It's time for some peeeeel porrrnnn" Holosexuals freaking out *Edit*: 1.1K LIKES AND 29 COMMENTS? OMW thank you so much! I really never expected this! Love you all my fellow holosexuals! Let's continue to spread the love to *true* holo!
I mean. An egg is a baby chicken. So 🤷🏼♀️ it’s practically the most insensitive kind of “meat” u can eat lls I’d think fish sauce as a flavor would be more acceptable but that’s just my opinion 😂
I’m Japanese and I absolutely love natto, the best way to eat it is to put raw egg without the white in, then mix it a lot, put a little bit of soy sauce, mix, then put it on top of rice and eat it together!! I eat it every morning, you should try natto once again! ( put all the mustard and mentuyu that Kame is the package too 😉 )
For vegetarian food, the fruit sandwiches are really good, inari sushi, soy milk, seaweed or umeboshi onigiri and their pastries. Btw kimchi isn’t usually vegetarian because they put fish in the seasoning.
Kimchi CAN be vegetarian, I often ask before trying kimchi in different occasions because of allergies, by now I always had good luck with it being vegetarian (and it was from japanese chefs) So you should be cautious, it CAN be vegetarian, but always check out the ingredients i guess
@@ketstillyappin it doesn't matter if it's for health, ethics, or religion. Someone who doesn't eat meat at all is a vegetarian, someone who doesn't eat any animal products is vegan, and someone who eats no meat except fish is a pescatarian.
36 minutes in I was surprised I had even watched that much. Didn’t realize it was an hour long but I knew I was going to feat her till the end. Very entertaining and they both have really good personalities.
As a vegetarian when going to places like japan I often just accept that a lot of the time fish sauce is gonna be used in the sauces of things and just roll with it
@@84rinne_moo a lot of Japanese food is Japanized versions of Chinese food, and does call for fish sauce. Same with Korean food. They all kind of shuffle food culture around a bit, to the extent that none of them claim to be the origin of Ramen.
@@ashneehs 「すみません、アレルギーがあるから、これの中に(insert allergen here)がありますか?」 You can literally just ask if the food item you are interested contains the thing you're allergic to. Even at the convenience store. They will help you find food you can eat if you ask, but you have to be proactive about your food allergies there, because they aren't a super common issue there.
On vacation it is quite a good budget! But my experience was more along the 15-20 dollar range. And that was while splurging on food! You can get one-meal dishes for 6 dollars in many japanese-cuisine-fast-food joints.
It’s a vacation where you have to buy pre made food because you can’t make your own being in a hotel..... yeah if you buy bulk ingredients food is a lot cheaper but that’s not what you do on vacations because that’s ridiculous
@@ilovemusic2543 actually that does not apply to Japan, in my experience. Eating out and from Kombini is way cheaper than buying and prepping yourself! (only in Japan have I seen that so far)
I started watching this randomly after a bunch of other asian food videos, and was like HEY, A fellow Aussie reviewing food, sounds great! And after 20 minutes could not stop laughing. "I want this to look absolutely delectable" "Its like two squares of white things" This was much more entertaining than other food videos i've been watching. cheers =)
Her: “so your probably thinking, Alex why on earth would you fly to another country and only eat at a convenience store for an entire week.” My brain: to film it and make money
Wow, it's really amazing to me that you can eat so well in Japan with so little. The quality too looks like it's way better than cheap food here. Here in the USA it would be a real struggle to eat that well. You definitely would have to skip a meal, probably lunch.
I'm honestly cringing more over the half lashes on just the outside half of her eyes with no other mascara on the rest. It's achieving some kind of "reverse uncanny valley" quality. She looks so pretty without false lashes, I wish she's just take them off. Or at the very least wear a full lash band. Half lashes are meant for dark haired people with semi-thick lashes to fluff the outer end. Not for people with light hair/lashes to wear by themselves. It just looks awkward. And I already know, make-up is whatever makes you comfortable, you're allowed to wear it how you want, blah blah blah. I know. I'm just stating my opinion. It looks weird and unnatural.
@@Terri_MacKay I mean tofu is already cooked, you have to cook soymilk to get it to coagulate into curbs also that's silken, and you you shouldn't be cooking it beyond gentle heating in soup, you'd ruin what is otherwise a soft custard like texture. Even harder tofu deserves a good hot frying or grilling if you're going to cook it. Honestly it's the reason I stay far far away from tofu when I'm eating in any western style places, they usually have no clue how to make good tofu, it's always too dry and has the vague texture of an old abused dish sponge soaked in some kind of weird sauce.
@@Caerigna lol, it's a staple in Australian breakfast for kids. There's canned spaghetti that goes well with toast, it's diffrent from home made spaghetti though it's like the McDonald's one. It's common to have spagetti and meat balls cause it's simple, add garlic bread and a salad and your all set.
@@triggahappyyt5420 cool info. As a childhood breakfast? That's so weird to my NW American palette. McyDs has a spaghetti? I haven't seen that in international food vids. I wonder if the flavor profile is different, in the same way tomato ketchup can taste wildly different in various parts of Western Civ. I foresee a day of RUclips vids about spaghetti around the world.
"how is the lettuce crispy?" I feel so bad for amaricans.. in Norway the lettuce is crispy too, cause it's supposed to be crispy. No one wants soggy lettuce on their sandwich my dude. It's supposed to be fresh 😊

I’m from the US. We have a lot of imitation crab often seen spelled “krab”. It’s a fish called surimi that has a similar texture to crab. They add flavor and color and use as a cheaper substitute for real crab.
Actually surimi isn't a fish, it is a mix of cod pulp and carbs with colorants and thickeners added to it. It is still fish in a way but surimi is more like a preparation 😊
It still has a very small amount of real crab though because I have a crab allergy so it’s the only way I can eat crab,but if I eat too much it still makes my stomach hurt because of the tiny amount of real crab...and it’s usually crab flavored pollock not surimi
Alex, this is my favorite video from you and i watch it often to wind down at night, i just love this type of video and im in love with seeing japan. please when you can, make a newer video of this? xo
Alex: 😱 *MOSQUITOES!* Me: 🤣 *Laughs in South Carolinaian* I had to deal with LADYBUGS covering an entire side of my house every summer. You couldn't walk out the back door without getting swarmed. And just in case no one knows: *Ladybugs bite*
I'm curious, how do you deal with them? I travel between Illinois and Indiana a lot, which means lots of mosquitos. I always carry bug spray, but it seems like it never works
I am! Yet I love Japan and want to visit so badly (I'm already saving for a trip). I'm also allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. I'm already really careful where I live in the states, but I have to be extremely careful in Japan, so watching her try to navigate day 3 is like my life haha.
I have a shellfish allergy and went to Japan 2 years ago. IT WAS HARD. I ate mostly at 7 eleven and the shops in the subway system because things were labled well or staff new what was in them. Actual restaurants were impossible to eat at because serving staff couldn't understand that dashi was seafood.
I am actually a little allergic to seafood (itchy when I ate more than a few prawns but fish are still good for me). I had a great time in Japan as there are still a lot of options. But this is just for me as I could eat fish.

I went to Japan and literally all breakfasts/lunches we had were at 7eleven. 7 eleven in Japan is on a whole other level of deliciousness in their food like even better than some "proper" restaurants I know also as long as I remember pretty cheap and you had where to sit, where to heat up the meals, and you could even buy clothes or Disney tickets there, man I wish I could have a 7 eleven like that where i live
Me too! I’m so jealous. 7/11’s in Japan are AMAZING where as a 7/11 in California where I live is awful, all the way around. Be careful not to get shot, watch out for the shady people who loiter outside of it & food there is crap. And definitely not cheap at all.
Ikrrr I used to live in Japan I loved it thefe
And for those asking, vegetarians do eat eggs, it's vegans who don't.

I'm sitting here imagining someone from Japan eating hard-boiled eggs we have at 7-Eleven in America that are wrapped in plastic and slimey water
I'd never eat the hard boiled eggs from 7-Eleven here in america. They look gross
I'd never eat anything from 711 in america, and I live here.
kkeegan32 I’m so glad I live in Japan 😂
I don't even have a 7-eleven in my country (the netherlands)
The eggs in the 711 by me are never slimey and I live in NYC. But my store has a very high turnover sooo maybe that's it.
So 7eleven in Japan is basically a grocery store
Yes-
Shaya Firth what is it then?
monch boye it’s a convenience store so it sells thing that’s cheap and convenient if u want a quick drink or snack
Shaya Firth why would this trigger you? theyre just saying there’s such a variety with the stock that its almost as if its a grocery store.

Since When is egg meat?
@@neonsvampen1 it depends on the type of vegetarian the person is. Some don't eat eggs.
I mean. An egg is a baby chicken. So 🤷🏼♀️ it’s practically the most insensitive kind of “meat” u can eat lls I’d think fish sauce as a flavor would be more acceptable but that’s just my opinion 😂

I’m Japanese and I absolutely love natto, the best way to eat it is to put raw egg without the white in, then mix it a lot, put a little bit of soy sauce, mix, then put it on top of rice and eat it together!! I eat it every morning, you should try natto once again! ( put all the mustard and mentuyu that Kame is the package too 😉 )

For vegetarian food, the fruit sandwiches are really good, inari sushi, soy milk, seaweed or umeboshi onigiri and their pastries. Btw kimchi isn’t usually vegetarian because they put fish in the seasoning.
I was thinking the same thing about the Kim chi and I felt so bad for her trying so hard. Also, in a lot of religions people don't consider fish meat.
Kimchi CAN be vegetarian, I often ask before trying kimchi in different occasions because of allergies, by now I always had good luck with it being vegetarian (and it was from japanese chefs)
So you should be cautious, it CAN be vegetarian, but always check out the ingredients i guess
@@ketstillyappin people who are vegetarian but eat fish are pescatarian.
@@sinandcyanide7505 not everyone believes that...I told you it's a religion thing.
@@ketstillyappin it doesn't matter if it's for health, ethics, or religion. Someone who doesn't eat meat at all is a vegetarian, someone who doesn't eat any animal products is vegan, and someone who eats no meat except fish is a pescatarian.
36 minutes in I was surprised I had even watched that much. Didn’t realize it was an hour long but I knew I was going to feat her till the end. Very entertaining and they both have really good personalities.
I saw the waffle and was like: “Looks like a Belgian waffle..”
Her: “It has bits of crystallized sugar-“
Me: “Yep. Belgian waffle.”
As a vegetarian when going to places like japan I often just accept that a lot of the time fish sauce is gonna be used in the sauces of things and just roll with it
Not really fish sauce, that's Chinese cooking. What you mean is Benito broth or dashi I think 😊
@@84rinne_moo a lot of Japanese food is Japanized versions of Chinese food, and does call for fish sauce. Same with Korean food. They all kind of shuffle food culture around a bit, to the extent that none of them claim to be the origin of Ramen.
Yeah, cool, but what about people with allergies?
@@ashneehs 「すみません、アレルギーがあるから、これの中に(insert allergen here)がありますか?」 You can literally just ask if the food item you are interested contains the thing you're allergic to. Even at the convenience store. They will help you find food you can eat if you ask, but you have to be proactive about your food allergies there, because they aren't a super common issue there.
@Michele Doenges thanks for telling me! It's a huge problem for me because I'm allergic to fish etc, so dashi would be lethal
If i spent 27 dollars a day to eat, i’d be living in the street
on a vacation i'd be mad happy if that's all i spent a day on food
On vacation it is quite a good budget! But my experience was more along the 15-20 dollar range. And that was while splurging on food! You can get one-meal dishes for 6 dollars in many japanese-cuisine-fast-food joints.
It’s a vacation where you have to buy pre made food because you can’t make your own being in a hotel..... yeah if you buy bulk ingredients food is a lot cheaper but that’s not what you do on vacations because that’s ridiculous
@@ilovemusic2543 actually that does not apply to Japan, in my experience. Eating out and from Kombini is way cheaper than buying and prepping yourself! (only in Japan have I seen that so far)
@nathalie similar situation in Hong Kong, at least it was when I lived there previously
I started watching this randomly after a bunch of other asian food videos, and was like HEY, A fellow Aussie reviewing food, sounds great! And after 20 minutes could not stop laughing. "I want this to look absolutely delectable" "Its like two squares of white things" This was much more entertaining than other food videos i've been watching. cheers =)

My brain: to film it and make money
1,000subswithnovids ? SOOOO TRUEEE
I mean, travelling abroad is expensive af. So, if she can make her money back and maybe profit a little? Hell yeah.
Wow, it's really amazing to me that you can eat so well in Japan with so little. The quality too looks like it's way better than cheap food here. Here in the USA it would be a real struggle to eat that well. You definitely would have to skip a meal, probably lunch.
Did anyone else cringe when she placed an open packet of mustard on her white sheets?
when she opened the kimchi I stopped breathing lol
I'm honestly cringing more over the half lashes on just the outside half of her eyes with no other mascara on the rest. It's achieving some kind of "reverse uncanny valley" quality. She looks so pretty without false lashes, I wish she's just take them off. Or at the very least wear a full lash band. Half lashes are meant for dark haired people with semi-thick lashes to fluff the outer end. Not for people with light hair/lashes to wear by themselves. It just looks awkward.
And I already know, make-up is whatever makes you comfortable, you're allowed to wear it how you want, blah blah blah. I know. I'm just stating my opinion. It looks weird and unnatural.
I eat tofu, but I cringed when she dumped the whole container of uncooked tofu on the plate.
She has much luck and grace not dirtying those white sheets.
@@Terri_MacKay I mean tofu is already cooked, you have to cook soymilk to get it to coagulate into curbs
also that's silken, and you you shouldn't be cooking it beyond gentle heating in soup, you'd ruin what is otherwise a soft custard like texture. Even harder tofu deserves a good hot frying or grilling if you're going to cook it.
Honestly it's the reason I stay far far away from tofu when I'm eating in any western style places, they usually have no clue how to make good tofu, it's always too dry and has the vague texture of an old abused dish sponge soaked in some kind of weird sauce.
"If I talk while I eat this... I will choke and die"

Maybe the noodles were ramen noodles.
Australia doesn't really do spaghetti from my experience. Unless they are specifically cooking Italian meals.
@@Caerigna lol, it's a staple in Australian breakfast for kids. There's canned spaghetti that goes well with toast, it's diffrent from home made spaghetti though it's like the McDonald's one.
It's common to have spagetti and meat balls cause it's simple, add garlic bread and a salad and your all set.
If you were in China or would be Italian noodles lol.
@@triggahappyyt5420 cool info. As a childhood breakfast? That's so weird to my NW American palette. McyDs has a spaghetti? I haven't seen that in international food vids.

I’m from the US. We have a lot of imitation crab often seen spelled “krab”. It’s a fish called surimi that has a similar texture to crab. They add flavor and color and use as a cheaper substitute for real crab.
Crab sticks? My fav snack, honestly it's because of them I'm not vegan anymore lol
Actually surimi isn't a fish, it is a mix of cod pulp and carbs with colorants and thickeners added to it. It is still fish in a way but surimi is more like a preparation 😊
I've seen pollock sold as imitation crab
ValeSpurgu, interesting I didn’t know that.
It still has a very small amount of real crab though because I have a crab allergy so it’s the only way I can eat crab,but if I eat too much it still makes my stomach hurt because of the tiny amount of real crab...and it’s usually crab flavored pollock not surimi

That might actually be harder than vegetarian
I am! Yet I love Japan and want to visit so badly (I'm already saving for a trip). I'm also allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. I'm already really careful where I live in the states, but I have to be extremely careful in Japan, so watching her try to navigate day 3 is like my life haha.
I have a shellfish allergy and went to Japan 2 years ago. IT WAS HARD. I ate mostly at 7 eleven and the shops in the subway system because things were labled well or staff new what was in them. Actual restaurants were impossible to eat at because serving staff couldn't understand that dashi was seafood.
I am actually a little allergic to seafood (itchy when I ate more than a few prawns but fish are still good for me). I had a great time in Japan as there are still a lot of options. But this is just for me as I could eat fish.
