There isn't really anything comparable to whole foods. They are starting to become that way but not now. She buys bread and milk from the bakery down the street so milk is name brand and bread is fresh. Most other stuff they buy at the farmers market.
Anyway it's besides the point: Sydney and Melbourne are not cheap places to live.

You have to be the most dedicated Kanye fan to watch that "documentary". I am not one of those people. Instead of watching paint dry it's basically watching dye dry. I think I got maybe 3 mins in to it. http://yeezy.supply/

Why is engineered garments so much more expensive in Japan? Cuz it's made in the US?

I'm looking for something like a Bedford. Any place I should really check out in Tokyo?

If your strictly looking for cheap eg I would try kind-u and other consignment/pre-owned shops

Isetan and Kapital come to mind. Doesn't Kind have a location (or a few) in Tokyo? Also, beware, Isetan is 8 stories tall. You might be there a while.

Isn't there talk about Tokyo in the SWD Travel thread? too busy to check myself.

Article is silly and most of those pants aren't jeans. On the other hand wide leg or flares have definitely come back for pants and are making their way into jeans.
I always wonder about companies like JNCO and Tommy Hilfiger, who have had their time in the sun, and now live essentially half lives. The same goes for a lot of tech companies that were really prominent for years, and then were replaced, but still seem to have a very small niche that they continue to occupy.
