I realize it's been a while since I posted an update about price-controlled food items. As you may know, the Ministry of the Economy regulates some food prices in Israel. This means that certain consumer goods cannot be sold for a price higher than the price set by the government. A few prices have even changed since my last post about this, so here's the latest update. Maximum prices on this list were verified on February 14, 2024.
Make sure you're not overpaying for anything on this list:
1. BREADS
Note: The breads on this list are very specific types of breads, and the challah is a very specific kind of challah.
2. SALT
3. DAIRY PRODUCTS
Note: I've also seen packages of sliced 28% yellow cheese that are pre-packaged, 400g, labeled "price controlled 13.20 ILS"
4. EGGS
There's always talk of adding items to the list (like fresh vegetables) or making changes (like swapping whole wheat bread for the white bread), but for now, this is the list of price-regulated foods.
If your store is overcharging for any of these items (check to be sure they are in fact the price-regulated item and not a premium version) - you can report the store to the proper authority using this online form.
Hope this helps you save more money, and don't forget to follow me on Facebook and join my Kosher Frugal group for more tips!
