Why did Jang Shin-young run through the heavy snow during ‘New Release Convenience Store Restaurant’?

On the February 28th broadcast of KBS 2TV‘s ‘New Release Convenience Store Restaurant’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’), Jang Shin-young’s thrifty shopping tips will be revealed. When Jang Shin-young first appeared on ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’, she earned the nickname ‘Frugal Shin-young’ for her thrifty habits. Tips such as visiting two or more neighborhood marts to compare the quality, price, and quantity of ingredients when shopping, and making group purchases for expensive ingredients with neighborhood friends became a hot topic.



In the VCR released that day, Jang Shin-young also drew attention with her unimaginably thrifty ‘Frugal Shin-young’ side. Jang Shin-young first checked the ‘refrigerator map’ on the refrigerator door and efficiently checked the ingredients for shopping. On this day, Jang Shin-young decided to buy a total of 7 vegetables for side dishes. Jang Shin-young said, “10,000 won will do”, which aroused curiosity. In this era of high prices, it was hard to believe that 7 vegetables, which are said to be as valuable as gold these days, could be bought for 10,000 won.

Jang Shin-young then looked out the window. On the day of the shoot, a heavy snowfall was falling from the sky. Jang Shin-young said, “That‘s good”, “If you want to go here, you have to hurry up and open the store early in the morning. That way, you can buy good products cheaply and in large quantities. It’s good that there will be fewer people than usual because it‘s snowing”. She also expressed her expectations, saying, “Actually, I debated whether or not to make this place public.

After a while, Jang Shin-young arrived at the ‘Treasure House’, a 20-minute drive away through the heavy snow. The prices of vegetables here were beyond imagination, such as 5 onions for 1,000 won and a bunch of spinach for 1,500 won. Even Chef Lee Yeon-bok, who always buys ingredients in bulk, was astonished and asked where they were.

On the other hand, Jang Shin-young made 8 side dishes for the week with the ingredients she bought frugally for only 10,000 won through an open run. This time too, Jang Shin-young showed off her multi-cooking skills by cooking 2 to 3 dishes at once, turning ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’ upside down. From the lovely ‘Salty Shin-young’ Jang Shin-young’s thrifty shopping secrets to 8 delicious side dishes, everything will be revealed on KBS 2TV‘s ‘Newly Released Convenience Store Restaurant’, which will air on Friday, February 28th at 8:30 PM.
