From Bento Boxes to Checkout Bumbles: A Homemaker's Relatable Weekday Story

Japanese Homemaker Shares Weekly Bento Prep, Humorous Self-Checkout Woes A Japanese homemaker, known online as ミニマムゆうnext, recently shared a video detailing her weekly lunchbox preparation, offering a glimpse into her culinary routine and a relatable anecdote about modern shopping. The video, uploaded on September 3, 2025, shows the meticulous assembly of five bento boxes, each featuring a diverse and appealing meal. The main dishes included lotus root hamburgers, Napolitan spaghetti, colorful stir-fried vegetables, and tamagoyaki. Despite admitting to feeling only "40% motivated" for the day's cooking, the author demonstrated efficient meal preparation, emphasizing the use of readily available ingredients, including frozen items like Napolitan, which she noted was more cost-effective when preparing multiple servings. A humorous highlight of the video was the author's confession about her "self-checkout phobia." She recounted a recent late-night trip to a 24-hour supermarket where she required staff assistance three times, struggling with tasks as simple as locating the plastic bags and navigating the product scanning page. "I turn into an old lady at the self-checkout," she quipped, adding, "I can't keep up with future shopping yet." The video concluded with a cheerful message, wishing viewers a good day.
