City-Cost feature posts you recommend reading
When I click on the Blog link, I see four "Pick Up" articles, one of them mine, that are a little stale... Which posts in the last 3 months or so are insightful, current, interesting, or helpful? What would you like to see in the "Pick Up"?

I really enjoyed your recent travel blog about Minamiboso, it was a good reminder to me to visit places in the off-season for a different, more relaxed atmosphere. I'm always a sucker for travel-related things so that content appeals to me. BigFamJapan wrote a great piece lately about coming around to the idea of second hand stores here (https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/G0gYO-shopping_saitama#body). I have really embraced second hand here, too, because things are overall kept in much better condition than second hand items in my home country. I also loved helloalissa's Amazon vs. small business cost comparison (https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/helloalissa/GbNNB-living_shopping_money). I shop a lot on Amazon for the sake of convenience and the assumption it's good value, when that's not always the case.

@genkidesu The Minamiboso travelogue part 2 is coming soon! Thanks for reading my blogs. I'm reading your "Things about winter" series. The blog posts remind me to get out of the house to enjoy the winter delights despite the chill. Some posts by @Jtsu and @Ekimsaido are classic blogs that remind me to appreciate life here. I suppose I'm so familiar with my daily life that I take little things for granted. Ekimsaido's Lazy Sunday has a simple and fresh look at life in Japan.
