Not really. Things still cost the same amount, and in fact a number of things have gone up due to the fluctuation in gasoline prices. At one point they were extremely high (190yen/liter) so the transportation costs were putting places out of business. They raised the price of things to accommodate the additional gas prices... Now gas has fallen (105yen/liter) but no one is lowering prices.
So you can pretty much expect things to cost the same amount as they did before.
