I have Huge parties and Costco keeps the Cost down. FBC takes weeks for delivery while they wait for enough orders to make a wholesale purchase themselves (how they make money) I used them 2x but I think C21 pwns them all the way around.

Each item has a sticker on it written in Japanese. <i>Gary</i> - Hi, I'm Steve and this is my blog. Oatmeal is more expensive in Japan than it is in the U.S. most likely due to supply and demand. I found it cheapest at Costco and the other option is ordering online. If it's too expensive you could always change your diet. I eat it because I like it and I had access to Costco a few times. To order online I suggest checking out the <a href="http://www.fbcusa.com/eng/" rel="nofollow">Foreign Buyers Club</a> website.

I've been to that Costco in Fukuoka because my uncle lives there, but I live in Tokyo and can't find oatmeal at a reasonable price, and even on-line what I'Ve found is expensive. Last month I dragged a suitcase full of oatmeal and other organic grains back with me from a short trip to the States. Any advice on on-line shopping? Nice posting by the way. Gary Mike,

Do they have Japanese translations for all of the products you can buy there? I’ve always been really interested in what Costco is like in Japan.
