hatov and fresh & healthy cottage cheese $3.69 this week
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that not all stores post their prices clearly on the shelves. I was unable to compare prices today so I bought whatever I'm used to buying. It would be nice to know if these items have such a wide range of prices for different brands.
DeleteWay too expensive for moldy products, fresh and healthy, fresh and healthy and hatov are the same garbage. Buyers be aware.

DeleteDoes sefiras haomer start on a specific day mdoraisa? The Kuzari doesn't necessarily think so!

Lol so many other rishonim no need to go to kuzari.
DeleteNews to me. Which other rishon?
DeleteTypical marketing with adirei create the narrative that tickets are almost sold out and charge more then suddenly find a anonymous sponsor and cut the ticket price in half for rebbeim. They should drop the price for everyone and let the bochurim come
ReplyDeletethe bnei torah in lakewood is way way bigger than the arena , even w /o the bachurim the mistake with many event organizers is they under estimate the tzibbur because of the noise in planning ... in the end the olam comes
DeleteEveryone should boycott the regular groceries and use bingo and drip em dry.
ReplyDeleteBoycotting stores is not a yiddish thing but you could choose not to buy a certain product or boycott a brand until prices come down. More importantly look at the prices before you buy
DeleteBoycotting a store is not a Yiddish thing, but boycotting a brand is? What's the logic?
DeleteVery pashut, a store owner gets the product after the markup by the manufacturer and distributor and may not have a choice. If you target a brand it us not as financially hurtful but you send a message through a broader audience
Deletein my experience a few years ago I didn't find bingo to be cheaper overall. Yes on some products, but more on others. Did things change?
DeleteI was thinking to create a program that pulls prices from all stores so that shoppers can compare specific products. If anyone has any ideas how to monetize this I would gladly create this program
DeleteWhile it sounds commendable, in the long run it won't work. May stores have loss leaders which they sell for cheaper to get people in the store. If people only come for the cheap, the rest of items will just skyrocket
DeleteThe olam is actually rooting for the 6ers so there should be no bitul Torah.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who just doesn't have the time or patience to attend "events?" Every cause needs an "event." I always think no one will attend since everyone is as busy or even busier than I am. Then I'm always surprised to see that these events are well attended. It's not only bitul Torah. It's bitul zman in general. Don't people want to just be home with their families? I do. When the OTD issue first came to public attention years ago, schools claimed that parents have to be home more for their children. We all have to attend family simchas, which are many B"H nowadays due to our large families ka"h. Those take up many of our evenings. Then the schools themselves and other mosdos schedule more "events." How do people have time and energy to attend all these "events?" So sorry, I don't.
DeleteThey make them becasue people show up and they make money. Of people stopped coming they would stop making them.
DeleteIt's about control.
DeleteSponsors, they can find
Finally kids will be able to get a basic education
ReplyDeleteThey don't want too many bochorim there, it's very simple, can't be too dry so they want some bochorim to sing and scream, but that's it. There's no shortage of seat because the venue didn't suddenly lose seats. They want people to sign up through their shuls for $360 seat. They want the Baal habatim to feel comfortable and not feel like they are at a being hazmanim concert. They also worry thay some percentage of bochorim won't show, and the place will look empty. And there's always the trick to make people feel special when their shul Gabbi gets them a seat for their kid and says "it's not really available but I was able to get you one."
ReplyDeleteHeavens. Why so much negativity? What kind of attitude is this? Are you the only virtuous person on earth?
DeleteMaybe they have sincere motives?
Or is it easier to smear unnamed people wholesale? Where's the אהבת ישראל?
All New York yeshivos are relocating and opening branches the only hold out is Bais Hatalmud and Mir
ReplyDeleteChaim Berlin?

DeleteIt’s fake news they’re not coming
DeleteChaim Berlin now has a branch of their kollel gur aryeh in Lakewood
ReplyDeleteIt's not Torah Vodaas the parcel is too small for any school campus.
ReplyDeleteIt's possible Yeshiva Torah Vodaas bought it but the article says it was sold to "Congregation Supporters of Torah" That happens to be the legal name of the minyan that davens in their dorm and presumably uses their dorm address on legal papers but they are at least quasi independent from Torah Vodaas. They are more likely to be a front man (possibly for YTV itself) than actually buying for their own use.
