Super Market Sweep: Passover Edition

2nd day, 2nd blog post I'm on a roll!

After a delicious dinner with Arielle's mom and sister in Jerusalem, we thought we would capitalize on our time and do a passover shopping, as we are heading up North for a couple of days tomorrow (hopefully I can continue my blog streak during our little trip).

Now along with cats, the second thing that I hate most about Israel is going grocery shopping. The aisles are narrow, the people are pushy, and I get overwhelmed by the amount of dairy products and Hebrew writing. But Arielle and I thought that if we were to go grocery shopping at 10:30 PM it would be a pleasant experience. Of course we were wrong....

Why were we wrong, well everyone one else and their mother were grocery shopping for Passover. Here is a photo montage of our journey at "Supersol."

While shopping we learned that there is kosher for Passover dish soap. I didn't know people eat dish soap.

One good thing about being in Israel for Passover is that they have so many different kosher for Passover products, from granola bars, to rice, to different cakes, to Matzah (we were careful of the pirated Matzah though.... see previous blog). We will have to wait to Monday to see if increased variety = edible.

The worst part of shopping in Israel is that people leave their shopping carts at the cash register to "save" their spot and then they continue shopping. And don't try to check-out and put your groceries on the conveyor belt in front of the "lone shopping cart" because that could start World War III.

I wasn't the only one who was having a frustrating shopping experience.

So there you have it... Our Passover shopping spree.

Getting excited because we are almost done checking out!

I think I'll be saying "Next Year at Stop & Shop" where you can have more than one shopping cart in an aisle.

Catch you tomorrow,
