Each day one hour before closing time (at 4pm), Suruki Supermarket in downtown San Mateo has cooked foods and sushi on sale for 50% off!! I repeat, fifty percent off!
It's such a steal of a deal. And an easy way to put dinner on the table for a very cheap price. The hardest part is waiting in line with anticipation! Some people start lining up at 3pm, but mostly the line out the door starts around 3:30pm. We got there around 3:45pm and the line was already several stores down the block.

At 4pm, a store worker lets a couple people in at a time. By the time we went in, there wasn't too many options left, but we were able to get some teriyaki dishes and raw tuna - a plenty amount of food.

And then 10-15 mins later, the shelves are bare lol.

Here is some of what we got, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of everything before my family dug into the food 😆.

As you can see, the teriyaki dishes are regularly priced at $9 so the half off price is less than $5 each!! Where else can you find a deal like that these days?? We did get some seaweed salad as well, but those are not half off.
Here's our receipt! So much food for under $35! We definitely had leftovers after dinner. The seaweed salad went well with the food, so glad we got that.

It was an exciting trek to find dinner. Hope you get a chance to stop by for some too!! Remember to go early to have more selection!
