How much did you pay for your hand shmura matza?

KRM in boro park was charging $40/lb for Chareidim, other companies were between $22 – $25/lb.

Osher Ad, the original Israeli Bingo, was selling hand baked shmura matzo with the hechsher of the Eida Charedis for NIS80 ~ $22 a kilo / $10 a pound.

Hand made shmura oatmeal matzos are $10 PER MATZA (A box of 3 matzos is $30) in KRM.

Pupa $22/lb from the Shearith Israel/Rabbi Thav annual matzah sale

About 3 bux a matzoh (Raychaim shel yad)

$14.99 for a box at Costco

For those who bought from Bingo….
are they thick matzas? how many per pound?

if you have had them before, do they taste oily, like olives? If EY most bakeries use olive wood which lends an olivey taste to the matza.

Does Costco only sell hand matzah in Brooklyn? Which brand?

Crisp Them. Put them in the oven at 300 F for about three minutes. It should help.

Using machine made shemurah matzah this year. Tired of paying the high prices.

Machine is better, according to some.

I pay 80 shekel per kilo

In Bnei Brak prices go as high as 50 shekel PER MATZAH if baked erev pesach after chatzos hayom
Think that’s a high price? Well, it’s matzas mitzvah where one wants the best of the best. It’s not like just choosing a wife.

I was not aware that olive wood can deliver an olivey taste to the matzah. I’ve been in Israel for decades, first time I’ve heard that and I’ve definitely never tasted a difference. Very interesting.

How many pounds/kilos of handmade shmura matzos does everyone here buy for their family to cover the eight-day Yom Tov?

$12/lb round hand Shmurah matzah from Cedar Market Teaneck. I feel that many people spend a lot of time, energy, money, and devotion towards XYZ matzah baked exclusively by Rav XYZ, and similar concept for their wine selection, but forget that (perhaps) the main and largest mitzvah of the night is Magid. I love a great wine at a wedding or restaurant during the year, but the seder is the opportunity for me to spend more time and devotion of resources towards Tzippur yeszias Mitzrayim with my children. Let’s remember what the Ikkur is! {And for those that say you can do both- sure, I don’t doubt you. Just make sure to look forward to the mitzvos of the night more-so than a fine Non-Mevushal Argentinian wine which you’ll forget about in a week}

ujm. We used around 25 lbs last year ……. 8 adults and 1 child at the sedorim……visitng relatives added 9 people during chol hamoed, 9 adults, 1 child for 7th and 8th days and bought 1 lb to shul for neilas hachag. we use thick matzos (6 matzos per pound and hold a kezayis is a 1/4 of the matza. used around 8 lbs just for the first two days before making matza brei’s during chol hamoed.
