Another chance to get big savings (iHerb)!


This post contains my iHerb referral link. You'll save money using it (even existing customers), and I may be compensated by iHerb. It won't cost you extra - but it WILL save you money!

I love to share iHerb deals whenever I hear about them, and right now I wanted to make sure you all know that the FREE Boxit locker/store pickup delivery option is BACK! 

AND right now, lots of people in the Middle East can get 15% off our orders, with promo code HOLIDAY15 at checkout.



Please note:Offer ends Jan. 4, 2021 at 10:00 AM PT.  

 So click here and get started!

Boxit delivery to a pickup location is my current default delivery choice. Just note that the limitations are: your order must total $60 or more, and weigh a maximum of 5 kg (11 lbs). There are a few products that cannot be shipped this way, so if you discover at checkout that this delivery option isn't available, try removing one item at a time from your cart (I recommend moving it to "your lists" and then moving it back if it's not the one causing the problem).



Whether I get home delivery, or store pickup delivery, my iHerb orders have been coming really quickly, despite my location in the boondocks, closer to Damascus than Tel Aviv... Is this a good time to share a confession? 
((I've been ordering every couple of weeks lately!))

Don't get surprised by import taxes! If you're ordering items from overseas, be sure to familiarize yourself with the most recent personal import regulations! HINT: Keep your order under $75 (not including shipping).


I've been consistently impressed with their service during the pandemic. I've been filling in some of the things I was not able to get in my regular grocery or pharmacy delivery orders, or simply things that turned out to be less expensive from iHerb. I order things like fragrance free laundry detergent, french roast coffee, and eco-friendly dishwasher detergent, allergen free chocolate chips (note: these only ship November thru May!), and other great products. Recently, I made sure to order some elderberry and zinc - I like to keep those on hand for winter colds.

If you use any of the links in this post, or manually enter the code QEJ101 to your cart, and you'll get at least 5% off your order right now, or whichever discount is better if you use a second code as well.

More PRO tips for shopping at iHerb:

If you use Shipping Savers, you can get really affordable shipping, even if you choose a home delivery method (I really like home delivery, and sometimes it's as low as $2!).

You can sort for Shipping Savers on iHerb by clicking the Shipping Saver checkbox on the left-hand side of the page. Check out my Shipping Saver suggestions, too - click the link for some, read below for others!

PLEASE NOTE: Shipping Savers appear to be disabled at the moment. I really hope they bring then back!!

Here are some of the things I like to buy at iHerb:

Toothbrushes - this 2 pack includes brush covers AND a small roll of floss, and is less than 10 NIS. That means less than 5 NIS for each brush plus cover and some floss! Try beating that price locally! BONUS: this is a shipping saver item, so your shipping cost will GO DOWN when you add it to your cart! Pretty Amazing deal right there!

Neosporin and Neosporin with Pain Relief - you can't get these over the counter in Israel! And this is one of the only ways to get neosporin here! It's a bit pricey, but it's a shipping saver, so it should offset some of your shipping!

SilverGel - similar products, that are great healing creams for skin, are all Rx only in Israel, and are about the same price or more. If you want to keep a silver based cream handy without needing to prove to your doctor that you need it, stock up at iHerb! AND this product is a shipping saver!

Mederma - this scar reducing cream is widely used in the USA, and is not available, as far as I know in Israel! So ordering from iHerb is a great option. Bonus: it's a shipping saver!
 
Palm Oil this eco-friendly version is not available in Israel at all, and is perfect for making frosting or vegan fudge.

Magnesium Tablets these and many other supplements are quite pricey in Israel.

Stash Teas I buy these when they are on sale, as the sale price comes out to less than the lowest price I can find herbal teas for locally.

Vitamin D so many people are deficient, it turns out! And my doctor prescribed a rather high dose, and the only stuff the pharmacist offered me is very low dose and much more expensive.

Probiotics are far less expensive from iHerb than any I've found in Israel, and they don't weigh much! Many of these are "shipping savers" - so they'll lower your shipping costs for the whole order if you add them in!

Ricola throat drops these work out to be only slightly less expensive than the local price, so I use them as a "filler" product, never as my "reason for buying", but once I'm ordering, if there's room to add something - why not?

Witch Hazel it's really difficult to find witch hazel products locally, and if you love witch hazel, you'll be thrilled with iherb's price. This one is a toner with alcohol in it - some people like the alcohol in it, but if you don't, they also have plenty of no-alcohol witch hazel products 
that are great for other uses besides toner.

Essential Oils (I use them in homemade cleaners) - for a fraction of the price here in Israel! Yes, they are real and natural (and very importantly, not an MLM)!

Soy-free Teriyaki Sauce (for my soy allergic child) - this is next to impossible to get in Israel!

I also regularly check the Specials Page to see if products I use are on sale and work out to a better deal thru iHerb during a sale, and I also occasionally will order a hard-to-find spice.


Let me know what your favorite deals are!

Shabbat Menu! (I haven't posted one of these in a while)


 

It's been a really long time since I shared a Shabbat menu here!

I have been feeling rather burned out in the kitchen - so my goal today was to make lots of yummy food with minimal effort. I feel like I MOSTLY succeeded. This is for 6 people age 13+, all fasting the 10th of Tevet, including a chayal who's home for Shabbat.

I had two ovens on for 2.5 hours. I tried to be efficient but I know I wasn't perfect.

Anyhow, here's what we have for Shabbat:

1 huge challah
4 smallish challot
2 pans of chicken
Roasted potatoes
Baked sweet potatoes
Roasted Broccoli (try it! better than steamed)
Sesame Green Beans
Roasted Onions and Garlic
2 pans of brownies

We'll also have a yummy mushroom barley soup, but that was cooked on the stove. I may prefer oven cooking, but I only do oven soup when I've accidentally overlooked ordering a new gas balloon!

(And yes, it IS possible to make soup in the oven. I do it in my enameled cast iron pot. Just don't break your wrist moving it!)

Hopefully that's enough, because I'm done!


SHABBAT SHALOM everyone!
Looking forward to the day when we can have guests and pot lucks and the like!

Great eBay Finds!

(This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a commission when you make a purchase. Thanks for your support!) 






If you're one of the people who had gotten used to stocking up on certain items when you traveled, this post is for you!

Today's deal is all about OTC meds. You must know by now that they are more expensive, in general, in Israel, than in the USA, and a lot less convenient too. Here in Israel, usually OTC meds come in small containers (20-30 pills!) but many of us had gotten used to buying bulk-size packaging in America! Like 100 or more in a bottle...
So for convenience plus price, I really wanted to stock up in America, but no one in my family is travelling right now.


So I decided to ebay them - you've got to see this!



Check out the screenshot here - you can find this listing at http://ebay.to/3894QnT - and get yourself a huge bottle of ibuprofen (600 tablets!), for about 70 NIS - a whole lot less than the equivalent at your Kupat Cholim pharmacy, which dispenses OTC pain meds in packs of 30 for 11-20 NIS. The savings are really huge. The same holds true for other OTC meds. Check out some other deals here: http://ebay.to/2WgnAMt (acetaminophen) and http://ebay.to/34gqt4j (Tums). 


So, go ahead, save money on basics by ebaying them! Let me know what you're looking for!



Happy savings!
