Pesach shopping

I know, I know- nobody wants to hear those words.

It is really important to spread out the shopping, though, so you still have money in your budget to enjoy chol hamoed.  One of the definite advantages of living in Israel is that so many products are KLP all year round or start becoming KLP now.  So take advantage of the sales each week and purchase newly stocked items- you will be pleasantly surprised to see how easy your Pesach shopping will be this year.

I made a quick trip to Shufersal these past two weeks and bought the following KLP items that were on sale:

• Shufersal brand strawberry confiture
• Shufersal brand canned corn (kitniyot)
• Sanfrost frozen vegetables (some kitniyot, not all KLP)
• Kibbutz Yavneh and Shufersal brand canned pickles
• Yad Mordechai honey
• Tnuva butter
• Shufersal brand packaged deli meats for tiyulim (wrapped and in the freezer)
• Dorot frozen garlic and spice mix

In the meantime, plan your next month’s meals based on what is in your pantry.  Spread out your chametz meals to use up what you have.  However,  if you have 8 bags of orzo and you won’t be having 100 people for Purim seudah, donate those bags now and make room for KLP items.

If you are one of those super-organized people, you can start doing Pesach Missions starting with this post.
