Shoppers in Israel, and probably many other non-US locations, this is for you! I was really curious about this - can you get FURNITURE shipped to you from the US?

Surprise! There are lots of great deals on furniture that ship here FOR FREE. I found a collapsible desk that is perfect for making small spaces do double duty!

Other finds: 

A collapsible, super lightweight folding table with stool that looks like a great upgrade for people who love spending time outdoors!

 Small side table/end table (there's a coupon showing for me!) 

Round small side table (I see a coupon here too) 

Solid pine Montessori toddler bookcase (also showing a coupon - don't forget to activate it! 

Magnetic accordion door panel (with drill-free installation! perfect for a quick fix to a space that needs a door but you can't easily install one!) 

This Horse-Shaped toddler chair is a fun find! 


I'll keep updating as I find deals! In the meantime, be sure to join my shopping groups:

FREE HELP with your ISRAELI TAXES (for tax year 2025)


Every year, many of us have to file a yearly tax report with the Israel Tax Authority.

(Are you looking for info about filing US taxes as a dual Israeli-American citizen? Check HERE: https://www.kosherfrugal.com/2025/03/us-expats-tax-season-is-here-and-i-have.html)

Many, many people pay an accountant to handle this report, but did you know that in some cases you can also get FREE help?

Here's the deal:

The Israel Tax Authority runs Free Clinics for filing yearly tax reports: this year, assistance is available for Atzmaim (freelancers/self employed people) who have an Osek Za'ir but want to file manually, people who need to file a tax report using Form 1301, and employed individuals who've received a notice that they can  request a refund.

The assistance is available at the following offices between May 17, 2026 and July 8, 2026, Sundays and Wednesdays, from 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM, unless listed otherwise:



Some offices may be closed on certain days of the week. I recommend calling before you go to verify they are open!

In Eilat, the service will be available only on Mondays and Wednesdays. In Um Al Fahem and Holon, the service is only available on Sundays. 

Bring ALL your relevant paperwork with you so you can get the most accurate assistance.

Good luck!
