In the KBS 2TV show "Newly Released Convenience Store," Jang Shin-young braves a heavy snowfall to go grocery shopping. Her husband, Kang Kyung-jun, has stopped working due to a hiatus, and she transformed into "cheapskate" Jang Shin-young, preparing eight side dishes for just 10,000 won.

In the KBS 2TV show "Newly Released Convenience Store," which airs on Feb. 28, Jang Shin-young’s smart grocery shopping tips will be disclosed. Jang Shin-young earned the nickname "cheapskate" during her first appearance on "Convenience Store" due to her ingrained frugal habits. She garnered attention for comparing the quality, price, and quantity of ingredients by visiting two or more neighborhood stores and sharing tips on purchasing expensive ingredients through group buying with local friends.

In the VCR released that day, Jang Shin-young captivated attention with her imagination-defying frugal persona as "cheapskate" Jang Shin-young. She first checked the "refrigerator map" sticking to her fridge, efficiently listing her grocery items. That day, she decided to buy a total of seven different vegetables for her side dishes. Jang Shin-young remarked, "10,000 won is enough," which raised eyebrows since it seemed unbelievable to purchase seven vegetables, considered to be pricey in today's high-cost era, for that amount.

Jang Shin-young then looked out the window. On the day of the shoot, heavy snow was falling from the sky. She expressed excitement, saying, "This is perfect" and added, "To get there, I need to hurry early in the morning and make an opening run. That way, I can buy good items cheaply and in bulk. It’s good that there will be fewer people than usual because of the snow." She also mentioned, "I actually debated whether to reveal this place or not. It’s like a treasure trove," heightening curiosity.

A short while later, Jang Shin-young arrived at the "treasure trove," which was a 20-minute drive through heavy snow. Here, the prices of vegetables were astonishing—5 onions for 1,000 won, a bundle of spinach for 1,500 won. Chef Lee Yeon-bok, who usually buys ingredients in bulk, was wide-eyed and asked where this place was.

Meanwhile, that day Jang Shin-young prepared eight side dishes for just 10,000 won using the ingredients she cleverly purchased during her opening run. Once again, she demonstrated her multitasking skills as a cook by preparing two or three dishes simultaneously, causing a stir on "Convenience Store." The KBS 2TV show "Newly Released Convenience Store," featuring "cheapskate" Jang Shin-young’s grocery shopping secrets and eight delicious dishes, airs on Feb. 28 at 8:30 p.m.
