Exclusive Discount!

This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. Thank you for your support!

If you want to support Israeli businesses, I thought this would be a good time to remind you about this local online English bookstore - Eva's Used Books! 

Eva's got a great selection of previously owned books in good condition, albeit in limited quantities, and it's definitely worth checking out her shop if you need books. Plus you'll be supporting an olim-owned business, which is always appreciated and so important! We're all here in this aliyah journey together!

Besides being necessary for self-preservation, books make great gifts, too. AND another thing I love is that Eva's is all about sustainability - used books are good for the environment and for our wallets!

This month, August, is Historical Fiction Month at Eva's - get 20% off your purchase of historical fiction! Click here to go to the Historical Fiction Shelf

And on top of the already great prices on this site, I've got an exclusive discount to share: Get 10% off your order with code KOSHERFRUGAL (A little gift to you from me and Eva)! 😀

As far as shipping goes - orders over 150 NIS ship FREE within Israel! This could just change our lives - because I still CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT BOOKS (yes I have the mug!).

If Eva's doesn't have what you want, be sure to check out Blackwell's for free shipping!

Happy reading!

US expats: tax season is here and I have a discount for you

this post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Americans in Israel, this is for you!

If you're an American ex-pat like me, you probably get an annual headache when thinking about filing your US tax return. What an absolute pain, am I right?

Currently, this is something most of us MUST do, even if we don't like it. There's just no getting around it for now - no matter how much we complain (maybe one day it will change!). And because of the complexity of navigating tax documents issued to comply with Israeli tax law (as opposed to US tax law), it is usually NOT recommended to use automated software for filing your overseas tax return.

But now there's SimpleTax, have you heard of them? I've had a long chat with the founder of the company, and they've worked so hard to make this service available (it's designed to work in a way that standard tax software doesn't). Basically, you upload files and answer questions, and their team will put your tax return together for you for your approval.

SimpleTax will usually save you money on fees - I've gotten multiple quotes for taxes and almost all were much higher than Simpletax.

If your taxes are complicated, you will still pay a higher rate than the lowest one listed on their site, but it will most likely still be MUCH lower than the quotes I've gotten from accountants recently.

This is a game changer. 

I invite you to find more details at SimpleTax. If you use my referral link (the links to SimpleTax on this site are referral links), you'll get 10% off your first tax return! If for some reason you can't open the link, simply copy-paste this link to go to their site: https://simpletax.co.il/register?referral=KOFRU. Or go to their site on your own and be sure to enter my referral code (KOFRU).

So spread the word that in 2025 we'll be doing our taxes smarter and cheaper! Use my referral code to get a great 10% discount: 

MY-CODE: KOFRU

OR CLICK HERE

SimpleTax is also on Facebook and has plans to help US citizens in Israel navigate financial issues better. You can be sure I'll be following them and waiting for more helpful developments.

Discount Code: Eva's Used Books

This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. Thank you for your support!

Everyone seems to be looking for a way to get through this crazy time, and for many of us, that means we need to keep a distraction on hand. Yes, there's always TV and movies, but there are also BOOKS - they make a great distraction.

And since we all want to support Israeli businesses, be sure to check out this local online English bookstore - Eva's Used Books! Eva's got a great selection of previously owned books in good condition, albeit in limited quantities, and it's definitely worth checking out her shop!

And since you know I'm all about saving money, I've got an exclusive discount to share: Get 10% off your order with code KOSHERFRUGAL!

As far as shipping goes - orders over 75 NIS ship FREE within Israel! This could just change our lives - because I still CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT BOOKS (yes I have the mug!).

Happy reading!

Early Access to a great iHerb Sale!

עברית למטה

iHerb is one of my favorite ways to find products that I can't get in Israel. Or products that may be available in Israel, but at inflated prices.

Right now, there's this sale: 

Get 28% Off 400+ Trusted Brands with promo code 28ANNIV (also use Rewards code QEJ101 so I get referral credit 😄 ) - Just copy and paste them into your cart, one at a time, OR click here to load the discount into your cart automatically! Offer is valid through the entire iHerb Anniversary Sale, ending 10/2/24 at 10:00 AM PT.

This sale includes over 12,000 top-selling products from brands like NOW Foods, Force Factor, RoC, Nordic Naturals, Catalina Crunch, Andalou Naturals, Boiron, Gaia Herbs, YumEarth, Jarrow Formulas, and many more! 

Need some ideas for your iHerb order?

Here are just a few things I recommend - several of these are eligible for the extra discount! I'd love to hear what your favorites are:

Teas

Lip balm 

Specialty sea salt grinders 

Witch Hazel Toner

Concentrated Laundry Detergent 

Unscented Compostable Dryer Sheets

Witch Hazel Cleansing Pads 

Stridex acne control pads 

Cocoa Butter Lotion

Your order of $60 and up will usually qualify for FREE Global Air Locker shipping!

Don't forget these important, basic principles of shopping online from Israel:

• Spread out your orders. If you want to buy more than $75 worth of items from one website, and you have the option of splitting your order - DO IT. BUT don't order more than $75 worth on any given day to the same shipping name/address/ID. If you do, customs may combine your orders and charge you. Give it about 3 days between orders. Best to ship to a different name using a different ID for customs, so you can order it all on the same day.
• Always look for the free shipping option - usually, it's to a pickup spot.

I was so excited when my order came to $74.64 after the discount was applied, and with free delivery! Talk about maximizing savings while avoiding import taxes! I hope you're just as successful!

I love to share iHerb deals and I'm excited to let you know that right now you can get 15% OFF most items with code SUMMER15, when you place an order of $70 or more. YES! I'm stocking up on a bunch of things!

(You can use that code EVERYDAY to create your own sale!) Boxit delivery to a pickup location is my current default delivery choice. Just note that this delivery option is only for orders that 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). You can often score FREE Boxit delivery - for this, your order must be at least $60 USD. 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! *************** New to buying from iHerb? Here's a great guide to "recommended" Kosher symbols. It's not 100% complete but it's a great start! 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!),  elderberry and zinc - just to name a few!  Let me know what your favorite deals are!
