Most of the stores give the receipt in Hebrew, so it's really hard to know how much you paid for which item--especially, because many stores also don't have the price tag on the item or even on the shelf. Yesterday, the store did have price tags (little stickers with the price printed on it and stuck to the item) so when we got home, we looked at the price and tried to match it to the sticker and then we wrote what the item was. We paid $6/pound for the chicken, $4 for a half size bag of marshmallows, $34/pound for cheddar cheese (we won't do that again) and about $24 for 3/4 pound pastrami. In our defense, the cheese didn't have a price on it and Lee wanted the pastrami desperately, so we bought it!
Last week we saw a sign with a 6 shekel mark on it so we thought it was 6 shekels for the container. It turned out it was 6 shekels for 1/2 kilo, and it weighed over a kilo, so we paid 14 shekels for it. Today, we saw the same thing in Old Jerusalem and it was 10 shekels for the whole container--a bargain!! Strawberries are in high season right now and we are taking advantage of it.
