Clothing Deals!

This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission, but it will never be at an additional cost to you!

(for illustrative purposes only)

MORE FINDS WERE ADDED TODAY (JUNE 21, 2026)!!

SKIRTS and DRESSES! And other great finds for modest dressers...    

Skirt wearers, you know how it goes - we all need a bunch of comfy, basic skirts that are versatile, classic, and easy to deal with.

I've found that sometimes the Amazon 3-pack deals are the PERFECT solution! Just choose the right size and you're good to go with 3 skirts in different colors!

Here are some of the options I found with free shipping (although sometimes free shipping is limited to a certain size, so be sure to check carefully before you order):

3-Pack Women's 20" Golf Skirts Knee Length Skorts with Pockets - for most people, these are probably a little above the knee. But if you're under 5-ft tall (I know some who are!) these may even be true knee length!

3-Pack Women's Maxi Long Skirts with Pockets, A-Line Ankle Length - Also POCKETS!!

Want a dress with pockets? I found some of those for you, too. 

Short Sleeve Dress with Pockets 

Elbow Sleeve flowy dress with pockets

3/4 Sleeve Bohemian style dress with pockets 

And if you don't care about the pockets, you might want to see this long 3/4 sleeve belted dress!

Cotton tops:

3-pack cotton shirts with pretty sleeves 

3-pack cotton ribbed shirts 

3-pack elbow length sleeve ribbed shirts with ruffled edging

Skorts:

24" flower print skorts with pockets! 

3-pack boys' sweatpants 

3-pack toddler sweatpants 

3-pack 100% cotton t-shirts for babies and kids 

3-pack 100% cotton baby sleeper pajamas

More finds coming soon!

Hope this helps someone out there!

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, check Blackwell's (free delivery!) or BookDelivery (no free shipping right now, though) for a huge selection of books!

Happy reading!

If you're not in Israel, but want to buy books and support Israelis at the same time, check out my list of Israeli authors you can buy on Amazon! They will all appreciate your patronage!

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?

Tips from an Amazon shopper.

this post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using one of my links, I may receive a small commission, but it won't cost you extra!

Shopping on Amazon (US) from Israel?

Here are some of my favorite tips:

Order only when you can get free shipping, or, if you have to pay for shipping, if the product you're ordering is not available in Israel and you REALLY need it, (but ask around - sometimes shipping can double your cost and then if it IS available in Israel, it may pay to buy it here). Right now, Amazon has a free shipping promo with a $49 purchase of participating items. 

Check for price drops! I save lots of items into my cart and check back later, sometimes the price goes down!

Always check for deals and coupon codes! Click here for your coupon section 

Paying with your Israeli credit card? You may be able to get 10% off on the 10th of the month with code MASTERCARDAY. 

Always check the International Free Shipping section - click here to go to International Free Shipping 

Don't be shy if your order doesn't arrive by the date promised, reach out to Amazon customer service. They'll help make it right! I got a $5 credit last time my order was delayed.

Returns: It's pretty easy to process a return if you need. You just start by opening the Orders section and click the appropriate button. 

Keep your orders under the taxable threshold. Amazon will calculate your taxes, which currently kick in at $150 USD. They also seem to be adding a $6 fee to orders over $100, even though those aren't taxable. If you're buying something that's taxable, shop around a little locally first!

Happy savings!

Allergy survival guide!

This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission, but it will never be at an additional cost to you!



(for illustrative purposes only)

I've been managing my allergies a lot better lately, and I'd love to share my finds with you!

Some of these things ship FREE to Israel, and I'm trying to maximize that to help you find a good deal.

I've found that sometimes the Amazon deals are the PERFECT solution to finding what I'm looking for without traveling to multiple cities to check all the malls, AND if we do it right, we can get higher quality items and still save money! And with the new, higher tax free limit, I feel confident that we'll all be able to save more money!

Here are some of the options for dealing with allergies in Israel that I found with free shipping (although sometimes free shipping is limited to a certain size, color, or variation, so be sure to check carefully before you order):

Mattress encasers are super helpful but very expensive locally. Here's another option for you to check out 

Saline rinses are highly recommended to keep airborne allergies from ruining your life 

Consider getting hypoallergenic titanium flex glasses frames online that you can then get lenses for at any local optical store

Hypoallergenic medical tape is a very important household item to keep around if you have sensitive skin

Cetaphil moisturizer is a sensitive skin essential!

Fragrance free laundry detergent - these sheets are so easy to use and completely mess-free

Air purifiers REALLY help - if buying from overseas, make sure it's rated for 220V OR uses a USB cord for the power source. Here's one that's portable and battery powered (recharges using a USB cable)

Lotion tissues are ESSENTIAL! If you're up for ordering A LOT at a time, you can save by ordering from overseas! I compared with Rami Levi's lotion tissue prices and if you take advantage of the "order 2 or more, get 5% off" deal, you'll pay several shekels less per package than what I'm seeing as a standard local price.

I'll try to add more deals as I find them! Happy Savings!

This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission, but it will never be at an additional cost to you!

(for illustrative purposes only)

Let's stay warm this winter with all things that ship FREE to Israel! 

I've found that sometimes the Amazon deals are the PERFECT solution to finding what I'm looking for without traveling to multiple cities to check all the malls, AND if we do it right, we can get higher quality items and still save money!

Here are some of the options for getting through winter in Israel that I found with free shipping (although sometimes free shipping is limited to a certain size or color, so be sure to check carefully before you order):

Wool & Cashmere socks for women, 3-pack

Blue Fleece Zip Up Jacket or Pink Fleece Zip Up Jacket for kids (seriously, this is an unbeatable price)

Fleece-lined knitted wide headbands, 3-pack

Fleece-lined helmet liner for wearing under your cycling helmet

Lined ankle boots, for women

Lined waterproof boots, for women

Lined waterproof hiking boots, for men

Blanket hoodies! these are awesome. I wear them when it's just me at home and I don't want to run the heat.

Deals I found today!

Sometimes, I go to supermarket websites and only decide to actually place an order if I find a GREAT sale on something that justifies the 30 NIS delivery fee.

Usually, I do this on Saturday nights, but for some reason, today I decided to check, even though it's Thursday.

And that, my friends, is how I found this markdown:

As you can see, the Carmel "Excellence" wines are marked down to 9.90 NIS! You might know that if I buy wine, I really really don't buy expensive wines -- not that I have a problem with anyone who does, it's just not a priority in my budget, so I don't. Anyhow, once I found that wine price and justified my purchase, I looked around for other good prices and placed an order.

I didn't actually find that many super awesome markdowns besides the wine, but here are some of the ones I found:
Small packs of tomato paste, 8 for 7.70 NIS - under 1 NIS! This made me feel nostalgic for the early days of our Aliyah journey, when I routinely found tomato paste for under 1 NIS each...


They also had several vegetables for under 5 NIS/kilo, which is getting harder to find around here.
They also had several fruits for under 4 NIS/kg.

And they had Noam cheese deeply discounted - 10 NIS off the regular price!

Did you find other great deals?
Let me know!

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!

This post contains affiliate or referral links. This means if you click a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you.



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 automaticallyOffer is valid through the entire iHerb Anniversary Sale, ending 10/2/24 at 10:00 AM PT.

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 

Dental Floss 

Pain Relief Cream (the athletes in my house like this one a lot)

Makeup Remover

Aquaphor

Maple Syrup Granules 

Made Good Granola Bars 

Cheddar Cheese Powder

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:

  • Keep your order under $75 to avoid paying VAT!!
  • 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!

Enjoy and happy savings!

Early black Friday clothing deals

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

I've got a shopping list for Black Friday - things we planned to buy but were not so urgent that we weren't able to wait for a sale.



So now it seems like a good time to start deciding what I'm actually buying - the sales have begun!

Starting with the clothing requests, my "guys" still prefer American style pants over the more common European style worn here. So I found Pleated khakis in a very wide range of sizes on sale now! Definitely time to stock up.

We're also looking at this Sherpa-lined sweatshirt (these run a bit smaller than expected, in case you were wondering, but proved to be a favorite when I last bought it, so now more people want one!)

Another thing I have to search for is shirts with an Oxford collar. I have managed to buy some at the mall in a bigger city, but the selection was not great. So it's on the online shopping list. 

Wool-blend socks have been great for winters in Israel. If your toes are warm, your whole body is warmer. There are some great deals on kids' socks and adult socks. Get some for everyone!

Ok so I couldn't help but notice this, even though we don't need them. Some Gymboree dresses qualify for free shipping and discounts right now! These dresses last FOREVER. We still see our old Gymboree dresses around the neighborhood on little girls (they seem to go from one family to the next) and my girls are older teens now!

If I can, I'll try to post more deals over the next few days! Feel free to comment below or in my public shopping group on FB and let me know what you're looking for!

Books - another free delivery option!

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!

 

It's quite the stressful time here in Israel. And while I feel it's important to stay in the loop, sometimes it's also good to disconnect a bit (keep your phone on so you'll still get Home Front Command alerts) and you know how much I believe in reading books.

If you're looking to get some new books, I wanted to let you know about some options you might not have heard about, with free shipping available to Israel!

Eva's Used Books is a small olim-owned business that ships books within Israel. They don't have a massive inventory, but they do constantly refresh! Definitely check it out.

And if Eva's doesn't have what you're looking for, be sure to check out Blackwell's! On their site, the cost of delivery is included in the price of the books, and they ship from the UK. (I'm hearing from some people that they aren't currently shipping orders to Israel - we'll have to get to the bottom of this!)

The same rules apply for orders from Blackwell's as all other overseas websites - personal imports to Israel under $75 are tax-free. Orders over $75 will incur VAT and possibly other fees. I recommend ordering the equivalent of less than $75 of merchandise from any given website at one time.

If you're looking for books in Hebrew, check out Prag - they have really inexpensive digital offers, too! This website is Israel-based.

Aliexpress Discount Codes for Israeli Shoppers!

This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. This will never cost you extra!

Shopping Aliexpress this week? Don't miss out on these coupon codes!

Code IL4 gets you $4 (USD) off Orders over $40 USD

Code IL8 gets you $8 (USD) off Orders over $80 USD

Both codes are valid through August 27, 2023

Click here to find all the best end-of-summer sales: 8.21-8.27 End of Season Sale-Spend & Save-Global

I'm seeing lots of items with 11, 12, or 15-day shipping to Israel! Just be sure that when you get that note that your package is on the way you OPEN the SMS and select your pickup location. This way you'll hopefully avoid the hassle of having to get IsraelPost to find your package at a post office 2 hours away from you and reroute it to your local pickup spot. Trust me, I know.

And be careful not to overdo it or your house might get overrun with boxes. Don't ask me if that's ever happened to me. Because I'm not at liberty to say.

But let's just say that I believe the local deliver guys know my name quite well. Oops.
To be fair, I usually don't even order things for myself. It's my family. They ask me to find them the things they need. So I end up placing all the orders. Really, it's true!

Anyhow, let me know what you're looking for - I can try to help you find it too, especially if you want to buy it on Aliexpress. Just post in the Kosher Frugal group and I'll do my best to get you a link!

Thinking about Pesach. And shopping, already.

This post contains affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you! Thanks for your support! 

You probably know I'm a pretty price-conscious shopper. I really try hard to make my shekels go as far as possible, so I'm a pretty picky shopper. I try to pair great deals with coupon codes (don't forget about the mastercard savings you can get on the 10th of the month) and save as much money on my purchases as possible. 

Here are some great things you might need to set up your home for Pesach -- without overpaying!

2-pack large, washable tablecloths

Stainless steel baking pans (multi-pack)

Stainless steel cookie sheets (2-pack) - currently at its lowest price in 30 days!

Get all the deals in my groups: Israel Deals Made Easy and Live in Israel. Shop Online, and my new public group, Kosher Frugal)!

Things to know about ordering from Israel: Shipping takes time, but lately, my orders have, for the most part, arrived well ahead of schedule - they seem to be building in a lot of extra delivery time to cover worst-case scenarios, but most packages arrive much faster.

Amazon's prices change frequently but they're really great about letting you know if an item in your cart has changed price - so if you found one and deliberated about it, you'll know if something changed when you decide to complete your purchase.

Sometimes free shipping offers disappear, so please check carefully before you order. Just remember - you can avoid VAT and other import fees by staying below the $75 tax threshold for any single order! If you do go over, as you will if you're buying a computer, you will see exactly what you'll pay in taxes at checkout. I only do this if I'm actually buying a product that costs more than $75. And I don't add any other small things to these orders, because once you're over, you're over and you'll pay fees on the entire order.

For smaller purchases, I place separate orders that each total under $75.

If you're in the USA and buying a gift for someone in Israel, please follow those guidelines, too - or be prepared to prepay all taxes and fees. You'll see them before you checkout, so don't worry about surprises. You will need to enter the recipient's ID number at checkout too, so the package can clear customs.

Hope you found this helpful!
