This guy spends 297 USD per MONTH on convenience store snacks??
That's insane. That's roughly $10 worth of "snacks" per day.

something as simple as coffee and a sandwich in the morning and some beers and snack food after work could easily add up to a couple hundred a month, even though most of it isn't the kind of food traditionally associated with convenience store junk food
I think the thing missing from the picture is that convenience stores in Japan are a lot more convenient than they are in many other places in the world. The 7-11 store near me sells vegetables, sliced meat, bacon, eggs, milk, etc, etc. So while it is common to buy months and months of food items from a grocery story (or possibly a yearly supply of mayonnaise from Costco) in NA, people tend to buy small amounts of things from smaller stores in Japan.
