Elusive Hamburger Buns found


July 18, 2019. So we have been inviting the young missionaries for lunch over at our place once a transfer (a transfer is 6 weeks) after a District council meeting.  The next one will be July 30 and the main dish will be slopping joes.  Last time we had sloppy joes, Sister Lee baked her own buns because we couldn't find any to buy.  Then we heard that Max-Valu sells hamburger buns so on my morning walk today I swung by (it's open 24 hrs.) and checked it out.  Sure enough, I found them.  Comes in a bag of 4 buns at 128 yen, which is a little over $1.10.  Back home, comparable buns would cost less than $1 for 8 buns.  So these may be the most expensive sloppy joes due to expensive buns and expensive ground beef.
