- Egg prices have come down. As a chesed someone compiled a list of prices in frum stores see chart below
Canm someone please explain why the three most expensive eggsd are sold in nthe stores?> It is a clear profit grab and says a lot about these businesses....
ReplyDeleteAisle 9 (Lakewood location) just lowered their extra-large egg prices to 1.49
DeleteTheir Jackson location is at 1.79 today.
This Egg Price list is amazing. If only somebody could put something like this together on a weekly basis for basic food staples (i.e. bread, milk, eggs etc.). It would be a helpful resource for all. It would also potentially force store owners to keep their costs down.
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteThere isn't weekly movement of prices in Milk and Bread they way eggs fluctuate.
DeleteWhy don't you give it a shot instead of shouting.
DeleteExpanding on this idea - I am curious how difficult it would be for somebody with computer programming knowledge to create a website where you can submit your grocery order and it will look up prices on all local grocery store websites and give you a total for each one. It should not be that difficult considering that almost all stores seem to use the same web designer with similar programming code. It would end all debates about who has the best prices and would force store owners to be more accountable. Only problem is that Bingo does not have a website.
DeleteThe prices on the website are not the same as the store
Deletewhy isnt shloimys on the list theyre .99
DeleteFood prices are out of control again
ReplyDeleteLiebers honey Graham crackers in NPGS $6.19 in ALDI the crackers are $2.
Fish sticks are $9 a box
I have stopped using the Yiddish stores for paarve items. I use bingo,shoprite,walmart and costco.
DeleteMany frum ppl are willing to pay more for pas yisroel. Aldi crackers are not pas yisroel. If your kids have friends over you should check before feeding it to them. Also aldi is owned by Germans (and Trader Joe’s) and many ppl choose not to shop there.
DeleteI thought we pasken pas palter is mutar even the mechaber holds in certain circumstances pas palter is mutar (price maybe one of them)
DeleteSo all the people driving Audis and BMW's are making not to shop at Aldiis?
DeleteBuy the loss leader items in Aldi and leave
DeleteUrgent allergy alert! Some Abe's Parve ice cream caramel flavored sold locally, are actually peanut chew flavored with peanut chews!
ReplyDeleteThis list is misleading as they don't all have the same quality and size eggs. You cannot compare the purchasing power of ALDI to Liebers. Considering the price of fish, fish sticks for $9 seems reasonable.
ReplyDeleteNothing is misleading eggs are eggs everyone has the same quality some are medium and some Large. The prices are misleading
DeleteNPGS used to be a cheap store. Unbelievable that Gourmet Glatt and Evergreens is cheaper!!!
ReplyDeleteFunny. NPGS is much cheaper. The others get you with discounts but them you pay full price on the rest. I've compared prices on non sale items and GG can be 20% more.
DeleteThat’s not always true. NPGS used to be the cheapest but not anymore. Their sales are good but I’ve often found better prices on non sale items at Kosher West.
DeleteSome stores do not keep up with the latest prices - esp. smaller stores who have a slower turnaround so they get their new shipment much later than bigger stores hence they don't raise their prices as fast..
DeleteShoprite bread and hot dog and burger buns still $1.29 vs $4-$5 heimishe. Non heimishe graham crackers a quarter of the price. Same thing for many other staples. Asks your LOR if pas palter is lichatchila if there is a huge price difference. Many shittos hold yes.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a big toeles If someone can publish once a aweek the price of a loaf of bread, dozen xl eggs, milk from all the various stores
ReplyDeleteToday we filed a motion for emergency relief before the Commissioner of Education requesting the she should issue her final decision and complete the remand by May 15, 2023.

If she does not grant the motion, or render final agency action, we will file an interlocutory appeal to the Appellate Division.

Look at the Litvaks, can learn the whole day, but be willing to be somech on a heter to eat pas akum to save a few dollars!! Mamash not normal
ReplyDeletepas palter is mutar
DeleteIf you learn all day, you will find out that this isn't a 'heter'. It is simply muttar. Pas palter is muttar, no ifs or buts.
DeleteI have long found that Chassidishe chumros are generally based on ignorance. From gebrokts to 'nisht mishn', from not eating fish on Pesach because in Hungary there was a chashash to placing a cloth on top of the sheitel, none have any halachic reasoning at all.
It goes well with the cholov Stam Rita's and the questionable slurpeess from 7/11 and quickcheck.
DeleteThe mishna berurah in 458 says that one who is machmir on gebrokts should not be mocked, for it's a chumrah
DeleteNot true! Please stop dissing everyone who is not exactly like you.
DeleteAtt Anon 3:30pm you talk like a bor rayk and am Haaretz mideoraysa. Do you know if meseches brachos is in seder moed!
DeleteNot only mutar, but when there is clear evidence of price gouging on the part of the ‘haimish’ it is even preferable.
ReplyDeleteTake it off ma'aser
DeleteIf necessary
Does any sane person think a box of graham crackers should cost $7? Have they caught cracker flu?
ReplyDeleteHow is Graham crackers over $6 a box called everyday low prices?
ReplyDeleteAsk the distributor - Do you expect the stores to take a loss? They should lower their 30 percent markup...
DeleteBTW why don't you attack the egg distributors - most stores pass on the price they pay to the consumer...
DeleteAs the old saying goes " a litvak trucked a tzailim offen hartz" That's the problem
ReplyDeleteAntisemitishe vertl
DeleteTypical empty chassidim. Ad hominems
DeleteWaste everyone's money leaning for years in Brisk, then move to Lakewood and eat Chalov Akum at Rita's, and pas akum to save a few dollars
ReplyDeleteAt least if you learn in brisk you’ll know the difference between pas Akum and pas paltur - and you may Even know that we hold you can eat pas paltur and possibly because of the price difference everyone holds including the mechaber you can eat it - which would than allow you to eat it in during aseres yimei teshuva
DeleteWhy the motzi shem ra
DeleteWe get it, you have no problem carrying on shabbos with a questionable eruv, but you'll never eat cholev stam.
DeleteSounds likeTims River vs Lakewood.
ReplyDeleteRabbi Forst brings from Rav Elyashiv that substantial price difference is a better to eat pas palter lichatchila.
ReplyDeleteThe Sefer zivchei tzedek (early 1800s) says the same as do others.
The Ramah himself in Torah Chatas writes that he is not going to elaborate on the halachos of pas palter because our minhag is to eat it (even when pas yisrael is available).
Speaking personally: my parents were poor. I worked to earn money for my plane ticket to EY and for living expenses while learning in Brisk. I have never been to Rita’s - nor have I been to any of the CY ice cream stores. The sheer greed of the haimish food producers has run amok, supported by people who feel free to shame others if they don’t shell out $7 for the privilege of buying a package of Lieber’s graham crackers. It is an an aveira to charge exorbitant prices for basic food products.
ReplyDeleteYou're a fossil
DeleteTell me one bochur who learnt in the "real" Brisk in the last 20 years that AJ even knew he existed when he learned there. What a bunch of +?#*
DeleteThe problem is there are too many people that are not willing to forgo an item when the price gets out of hand - they use the bitachon card to shop irresponsibly! How many people continued to buy the instant soups when gefen decided to double the price? Thank gooodness they came down from their insane high.. a big issue was that the prices were rising while the ridiculous food stamps were still being given out - that didn’t help..
