Average Prices of Goods in Israel

Hebrew: השוואת מחירי מוצרים בישראל

 

To help you with you aliyah budget, we have compiled a list of prices of a cross section of household items as published by the large local supermarket chains.  Many retail stores, in Israel,  offer you a club/membership card.  Some give you points, some discounts and some are combined with credit cards.  Some are free, some are not.  Generally the credit card is free for the first year and after that, you pay around 15 shekels per month for the card.  Multiple item discounts are very popular in Israel; buy one and get the second at half the price, buy two get one free, four for 10 shekels, 3 for one hundred etc.
