Lawson Store 100, operating across Japan, will launch its “Spring Life Support” campaign starting February 25, 2026. This store is a unique hybrid that combines the convenience of a typical Japanese convenience store (known as “Konbini”) with the low-price selection of a supermarket.
Rising food costs have become a major challenge in Japan. The “Engel’s coefficient,” which indicates the proportion of food expenses in household income, has risen to approximately 28%, putting pressure on people’s lives. March is particularly a time when expenses increase due to preparations for “Shin-seikatsu” (new life), such as entering school or starting a new job. Lawson Store 100 aims to support households during this period with its “always low price” strategy.
“Basic Vegetables” at a Stable Price of 108 Yen (Approx. $0.72)
Having vegetables essential for home cooking available at a consistent price provides great peace of mind. During this campaign, key vegetables will be offered at EDLP (Everyday Low Price).
- Potatoes: 108 yen per bag (approx. $0.72 / tax included)
- Onions: 108 yen per bag (approx. $0.72 / tax included)
- Carrots: 108 yen per bag (approx. $0.72 / tax included)
These vegetables are essential items for Japanese home-cooking staples like “Curry” and “Nikujaga” (a meat and vegetable stew). It is quite rare to maintain fresh produce, which often fluctuates in price due to weather, at a low price of 108 yen (approx. $0.72). These will be a strong ally for students and new employees starting to cook for themselves.
Using “Lawson Value Line” to Help with Busy Daily Life
During busy times like moving, ingredients that can be prepared quickly are very convenient. Lawson Store 100’s private brand, “Lawson Value Line (VL),” balances quality and affordability.
During this campaign, “ready-to-use items” such as pasta, salads, soups, and retort-pouch foods (food that only needs to be heated in the bag) will be grouped together in the sales area. This reduces the time spent thinking about menus and allows for efficient shopping. It’s the perfect choice for those who want to maintain a healthy diet even when busy.
Perfect for Stocking Up! Save More with Bulk Tuna Cans
Tuna cans, which have a long shelf life and can be used in Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, are a must-have in Japanese homes. Tuna is also a very popular filling for “Onigiri” (Rice Balls, a Japanese soul food).
- Buy 2 Tuna Cans: 150 yen (approx. $1.00 / tax included)
- A discount of 66 yen (approx. $0.44) off the regular price
The uses are endless, from salad toppings to pasta sauces. It is also a smart choice to buy in bulk as part of “Rolling Stock” (the practice of stockpiling while using items daily) in preparation for disasters.
A Reward for Your New Life! New “White and Black Melon Pan” Debuts
Beyond saving money, life needs moments of enjoyment. On March 11, 2026, two new types of “Melon Pan,” which can be enjoyed as a dessert, will be released. Melon Pan is a classic Japanese sweet bread consisting of bread dough topped with a sweet cookie crust and baked.
- White Melon Pan (Hokkaido Milk Whipped Cream): 127 yen (approx. $0.85 / tax included)
Filled with plenty of rich whipped cream made from Hokkaido milk. - Black Melon Pan (Chocolate Whipped Cream): 127 yen (approx. $0.85 / tax included)
Sandwiched with luxurious chocolate whipped cream, perfect for chocolate lovers.
They are ideal for a refresh during breaks from work or study. At an affordable price of 127 yen (approx. $0.85), they offer a small moment of happiness.
The “Spring Life Support” proposed by Lawson Store 100 is more than just a sale. It is packed with wisdom for enriching daily meals and enjoying a new life without overextending. When you visit Japan, be sure to look for a store nearby.
