What a Bargain

Want to know where to get the best buys in Israel?

Then head on over to The Big Felafel who writes that after living in these parts for three years, she’s figured out where to find deals…A sampling:

- Tablecloths for 18 shekels ($5)
I found pretty Shabbat tablecloths that just about everyone seems to have for 18 shek. This deal is so good, it turns out, that every time my mom comes to visit, it is the only thing she stocks up on.
Where: Agrippas St in Jerusalem, coming up from King George toward the Mahane Yehuda shuk. It is on the left hand side and they usually have the tablecloths displayed on the street.

- Nesher Shared Taxi Sherut for 45 shekels($12.50)
For 45 shekels you get door-to-door service from anywhere in Jerusalem to the airport. My friend said he had a hard time finding Nesher’s phone number online so I thought I’d post them. Make sure to call a day or two before to reserve a spot. Here’s a Nesher-specific “Did you know”. Did you know that they don’t have Nesher in Tel Aviv? I mean, I guess it makes sense since it’s so close to the airport but… how do they survive?
Phone numbers: 02-623-1231, 02-625-7225
