A Pon de Ring doughnut

¥183

Mister Donut · one original glazed ring · takeaway · listed standard price; shops may vary.

Compare the same order type. This is the takeaway price for one original doughnut, not a drink set or a dine-in order.

Checked · Official source: Mister Donut

An oven-baked rice gratin

¥300

Saizeriya · Milano-style doria · one regular dish · dine-in, Japan menu.

A single menu item is different from a meal budget. This price covers one dish; it does not include a drink or side.

Checked · Official source: Saizeriya

A bottle of mineral water

¥118

FamilyMart · Famimaru Tsunan natural water · 600 ml · listed retail price.

Check the bottle size and shop. A 600 ml convenience-store bottle is not the same offer as a vending-machine drink or a multipack.

Checked · Official source: FamilyMart

A pack of origami paper

¥110

DAISO online store · Variety Origami, JAN 4550480290454 · 70 sheets · item only, delivery excluded.

Check what the total includes. The listed online item price excludes delivery, so it is not the amount for a shipped order.

Checked · Official source: DAISO

An adult ticket to Ueno Zoo

¥600

Ueno Zoo, Tokyo · one individual admission · age 16–64 · ordinary paid day, no discounts.

Check the visitor category. This is ordinary individual admission for ages 16–64; other ages and free-admission days have different conditions.

Checked · Official source: Tokyo Zoological Park Society

Three checks before comparing prices

  1. Match the item: size, quantity and ticket age group can change the price.
  2. Match the purchase conditions: takeaway, dine-in, delivery and discounts are different offers.
  3. Match the date: an older price can explain an old receipt without being today’s price.
