Daiso
A few weeks ago, I was driving through Daly City, along 280, when there — at Serramonte Shopping Center, glowing in the fog — was the word “Daiso.” Big and red, on the side of a building that used to be a Good Guys.
It was already past nine o’clock, so the store was already closed for the day. But the next day, I made the trip back and was rewarded with so much Japanese goodness!
Daiso is a Japanese dollar-store that opened its first U.S. shop in the Seattle area about a year ago. The Daly City outpost is the first of several slated for the Bay Area. Most of the goods in the 12,000-square feet store are priced at about $1.50. And there is plenty to choose from: kitchenware, office supplies, gardening tools, organization items … Really, I don’t have the space or time to list it all here!
Go and see for yourself. Bring the spare change from your couch. Empty a piggy bank. You won’t need much more than that for a full-on shopping spree here.
