How this works
The rules behind the pick, where the prices and the rate come from, and what we left out.
How the combo is picked
Your budget is converted to won with the Bank of Korea base rate of the day this page was built (the date is on the card), rounded down.
From our 66 combos we keep the ones whose total at the cheapest of CU, 7-Eleven and emart24 is at or under that amount. The one that saves the most with this month's 1+1 and 2+1 deals comes first; 'Another combo' shows the next.
The total is what the till charges for one of each item. A 1+1 or 2+1 only lowers the price per item when you take the whole bundle, so we show that separately.
Where the prices come from
Every price was read on the chains' own websites: CU, 7-Eleven and emart24 event lists on 2026-11-04, regular prices from their product lists. Nothing from blogs, news or price apps.
GS25 does not publish a readable price or event list on its website, so GS25 never shows a price here. Check the posters in the store.
Deals end on the date the store prints; after that the line drops out of the pick on the next build.
Why the Korean names
Most labels in the store are Korean only. Under every item you see the name as the store prints it, so you can match it on the shelf or show it to the staff.
Questions
- What should I buy at a Korean convenience store?
Start with a cup ramen or tteokbokki, add a triangle kimbap or cheese, and a banana milk. The card above picks one real combo that fits your budget, with this month's prices.
- How much does convenience-store food cost in Korea?
This month our combos total between ₩2,800 and ₩10,400 at the cheapest chain ($2.09 to $7.75).
- Which is cheaper: CU, GS25, 7-Eleven or emart24?
It depends on the item and on this month's 1+1 and 2+1 deals. We compare CU, 7-Eleven and emart24 for each combo and show the cheapest. GS25 publishes no readable prices online.
- How do I cook ramen in a Korean convenience store?
Cup ramen: use the hot-water dispenser and fill to the line inside the cup. Bag ramen: some stores have a ramen machine; our guide shows the three steps.
- Are the prices exact?
They are what the official websites printed on the date shown. Prices can differ by store; the till is always right.
