Huston, We Have Bento…

Ok, I have gotten my very first bento. As soon as I can find my camera I will take a pic of it to post here. It is a small bento but I’ve found that amazingly it holds a decent amount of food, more than enough for a filling lunch. There is a store in San Fransisco that is opening an online store soon that has bento’s for $1.50! Granted you have to buy the bag and belt and any other accessory separately it is still a great deal. As soon as the shop goes online I will post more about it here. I have also placed an order with Asian Food Grocer and it should be in tomorrow (the 9th). On this first order I only ordered a few candies and some filled breads but if everything arrives safely I will order more because they have really good prices and a great selection. I really prefer to but from places that have a distribution point here in America as it saves TONS on shipping. I mean on the bento I ordered from Japan the shipping alone was over $11 which is quite a bit for such a small package where is the food from the Asian Food Grocer is being sent FedEx, is a rather large box, and it only cost less than $5 for shipping. With lower shipping I can buy more stuff and that makes me a happy Rayne! lol
