How to plan your basket
- List your items and note whether each one is a general good or a consumable.
- Add the subtotals for each category.
- Run each grouped amount in the calculator and compare store types if needed.
Example list
- Cosmetics: ¥3,200 (consumables)
- Snacks: ¥2,100 (consumables)
- Headphones: ¥12,000 (general goods)
In this example, the consumables subtotal is ¥5,300 and the general-goods subtotal is ¥12,000. Checking both subtotals separately helps you understand how category and store policy affect the result.
What to watch for
- Department store service fees can reduce your final refund.
- Mixed baskets may be treated differently depending on the store.
- Threshold and handling rules can vary by store policy.
