Does any one know if Bingo in Brooklyn codes as a Wholesale club so we can get 5% on dicsover card next quartwe?Yes it codes for Wholesale
Exhibit A: I used to pay $14 per lb for baby salmon fillet at the most popular fish store in BP (I don't like naming names). This week I paid $8 in Bingo. Fresh and good quality.You're comparing a fish store and a supermarket. It's more so unusual to find salmon at that price BP supermarkets.

Fresh and good quality.Can't remember when was the last time I bought Salmon fillet retail (and since we buy at wholesale prices, it's quite a staple in our kitchen).
About time this store got a thread.Pretty sure there is a thread somewhere
Great revolution. DD MS worthy deals every week. Some items are sick cheap. Their seasonal sales are amazing.
I'm not crying for the groceries. Bingo proves that some prices are only 30-50% more expensive on regular items (not sale items) in many stores because they can.
Exhibit B: Pesach cakes and cookies started to cost a small fortune. They are really really cheap in Bingo. At least 50% cheaper. They do many things private label from the same companies.They actually carry a higher quality private label 9" plastic plates, than what's sold elsewhere. It's not always the price, but the overall value.
Exhibit C: I was never in Costco, but where else can you get good quality 800 plastic soup bowls for $13 and 1,200 plastic cups for $7?Not in Costco, for those items!

Is there a way to get Google express to include them?

Again, same issue with the distributors, they give Bingo an upper hand by giving it to the for cheaper then the other store. This is the reason all the stores are upset, not for their sales etc, but the fact that they get cheaper wholesale

They got cheaper because they buy much more.
One example: Bingo sold countless pallets of chocolate before Purim. They were selling top brands for 30% cheaper.
They might have sold more chocolate than all local groceries combined.
They also have leverage because they are reportedly exploring more locations. Their buying power can double and triple.

Not quite so, but they do have a unique buying power, that's way you won't find there many brands, like: Tuv Tamm, Meal Mart, Kleins Ice Cream and so on and on
It always seems to me that disposable cutlery and tableware are much cheaper in jewish stores
Major brands are manufactured in USA vs these I would assume are from China. (some I know firsthand the importer)

Beginning afternoon before Pesach you can't move in the stores. Literally. You stop to take something off a shelf and there are carts in front of you and carts behind you, taking up the while aisle.
Judging by the crowds and the huge overflowing wagons, it's not hard to conclude that they're slaughtering the Boro Park grocery industry.I'm not sure if I should feel bad or not. On one hand there are a few people loosing money, and on the other hand there are tens of thousands saving.

Mehadrin 3lb American Cheese is $10.79.Been like this since week one, never saw that place organized
Great price. There now. At 10:30 pm on a Wednesday night, I couldn't find a wagon. Packed.
Looks like many trailers unloaded today, because the entire street level is full with dozens and dozens of pallets. Just bring a forklift and walk off.

Not a crumb of chametz to be found in the entire store. Ridiculous.
Twas a empty this morning...BH for that, now let prices come down a little more.
And shopped in evergreen on Sunday, they were so ramped up for business... but not much customers... The delivery came to our house before we got home!
The market here is crazy
Is the entire Bingo kosher for Pesach?
It seems so. I didn't see any chametz items anywhere. I didn't check the freezer though.the take out counter is chametz
Recommendation: watch the cash register as your items are being rung up, especially if non-barcode items such as fruits and vegetables. I bought tomatoes and was charged more than double the price because the cashier entered the code for sweet peas. Luckily it was a small list and I noticed it while looking at the receipt in the elevator. Had to waste time to get it adjusted.This is a general recommendation, Happens in every grocery every now and again.
I'm in KRM now. Thursday night and before Pesach. It's not empty. It might even look a little full, but you can move around freely and there are several registers open with nobody checking out. I guess, they are feeling it bigly.I was there last night. Busier then. Next week will be a better time to see.
No lines to park outside and some empty spots in the lot.
I was there last night. Busier then. Next week will be a better time to see.
Yeah. One of the employees told me that last night was the same busy as last year in the meat department.How do you like the floor ? I Haven't been there in awhile.

Do they have minimum non-sale requirement ?
you can buy as little or as much as you want each visit. No annual fees, either. I bought 350 bars of Schmerling and Rosemarie chocolate before Purim. I was surprised that they had no limit. ($1.99/bar) Delicious. :)
i hope that those aren't soda-stream filled bottles by working kids in China. The other BluPantry electronics are from China. Where are these (12/$1.99?) .17 per bottle items being bottled? What does it say on the label.
(And more importantly, who gives the KFP hashgocha?)

And water doesn't need any hashgacha if bought before pesach. Chametz before pesach is batel bemashehu. Just general insanity and OCD.

Do you know of any electronics still made in the US? If so, that's the exception to the rule.normal daily electronics are fine because we usually turn them off, of they give off less heat (lamp, coffee maker, etc...)

To offer stuff at below profitable levels just because you have deep pockets isn't fair. The hate that's going around against the local grocers as if they're ripping off their customers is misplaced.
I said it in the past and I'll say it again. The prices will be going up it's a gimmick they successfully did in Israel too, unbelievable prices in the beginning and then continously raise the price to profitable levels.It is illegal to lower prices below cost in order to put competition out of business, and in a limited (small) market you can actually get in trouble for this (because in order to be charged you need very clear results of the actions, and here if other stores close down, we will have clear results). I hope they know what they're doing.

$1.89 schmerling bars are probably below cost of the bars, the shipping, including the employees time to unload, to set up, to pay cashiers, pay managers, electricity bills, salaries, insurance bills, building rent fees, etc.... if you add up all those costs together.The Schmerling bars were the same price at KRM. And, fruits and vegetables are blind items with HUGE markups, especially the pre-cut.
On the other hand, the $1.89 isn't going to prevent most of us from buying 10 bars at KRM or BP for $2.29.
It's not a reason to go to Bingo until you add up all of the savings and one-stop shopping benefits. Still impressed by the fruits and vegetable pricing and selection.
They also had pre-cut fruits and vegetables. And p'tcha. Where else can you buy 4 diff types of p'tcha?
The Schmerling bars were the same price at KRM. And, fruits and vegetables are blind items with HUGE markups, especially the pre-cut.
that's great! So then there's no anti-trust. Just lots of profit when they sell them at $3.99-$4.29 elsewhere?Of course

Can Costco be sued with antitrust laws? Somehow I doubt itWhat does Costco sell below cost?
What does Costco sell below cost?I didn't realize that the point was below cost. Thought it was just about undercutting the market by a significant amount.
Costco provides good value, some items at very good prices, great return policies.
Competing on price is an unsustainable business model.
I didn't realize that the point was below cost. Thought it was just about undercutting the market by a significant amount.It was in response to this
That's why the game their playing isn't fair. To offer stuff at below profitable levels just because you have deep pockets isn't fair. The hate that's going around against the local grocers as if they're ripping off their customers is misplaced.
I didn't realize that the point was below cost. Thought it was just about undercutting the market by a significant amount.Even if not below cost, competing on price is a losing proposition. A profit margin is necessary for success. If one runs an extremely efficient operation, they might be able to reduce margins and still succeed, but that's a dangerous game to play, and one needs another strategy (such as shifting some costs to suppliers in various ways, like Costco and Walmart do with returns, and fines for failure to comply with their specifications of doing business with them).
Do you guys know that they have another 16 stores in Israel? I don't think that anyone needs to teach them business. The things are likely sold at a small margin, which can be profitable if they sell so much, and then they have loss leaders, like every store. You can sue for anti-trust on that?בלי טריקים בלי שטיקים. Ahem.
Was in KRM. They are quite busy. Not crazy. They likely took a big hit, but he doesn't need Tomchei Shabbos.No one has pity on KRM as when they opened everyone was upset at them and they didn't care. So now they are feeling what the other stores felt when they opened.
I heard today of a big company that they are boycotting because they made private label for Bingo. I don't know all the details because they obviously carry many other companies that did the same thing.

i don't think that it would make sense for KRM to boycott a big company because:
1) Those products still bring in profits for KRM
2) If these items are missing from KRM, then after a while, people may not be able to keep shopping there if basic weekly purchases aren't available any more.
All 15 cash registers open. With 5 full wagons at each register. Bad situation.Just saw this thread now for the first time... Was there last Wed and checked out around 11:30... Should have had a DO while waiting in line...
There are competitors with similar items. It's a Nosh company.Golden Fluff? since they manufacture themselves.

Crazy.Come to England, walk into any Tesco or Asda etc and walk out with good 2 litre bottles of seltzer for 17p.
I retract this. Someone else told me that it's not true.
heard this when Bingo opened, but KRM since changed the strategy and tried to fight back with specials.
Let just say what I heard from 2 vendors, that while KRM "has" to get it cheaper then all other groceries, they sell it at the same price, keeping all profits to himself, Bingo gives it cheaper to the clients splitting the profit.
When KRM started to become a big player, he understood that only he is allowed to get it cheaper and everyone else should be upset, now when Bingo opened he found himself in the same boat
KRM is cheaper than all the other groceries. The argument against them was that they make the same 40% markup as all, while they just get them for cheaper because they buy so much.Where did you get that number from? very hard to believe
Where did you get that number from? very hard to believeDepends what items.

What I find hard is that this place can't be your on stop shopping place. They don't carry lots of items, as opposed to KRM that has all you need.
My Pesach order was still done in KRM.I'm shocked
What don't they carry ?
Limited Bakery items, snack items, Candy items, paper goods and much more.Uh? Were you there when you we're sober?
There milk, produce is very fine.
I was there around 2pm today. Quite manageable. I actually got more of my Pesach shopping done than I expected to.
Some items had misleading or missing prices (clear plastic plates and bowls had a price which I understood to be a case price, but was actually a unit price). Plastic bowls and plates by the case Bingo brand (as opposed to BluShine or Basix brands which are sold in bags of 125) didn't have a price listed.
I liked finding oil under supervision of בד״ץ עדה החרדית ירושלים.
When I was mostly done, I had my son wait on line, while I got some small items here and there. Overall was quite an efficient shopping experience. They didn't have EVERYTHING I would buy for Pesach. But definitely saved me trips (and probably money).
KRM had 2 hour wait for cashier today and no "case" delivery until tomorrow.
Went to Gourmet Glatt tonight at 7PM. Pretty empty. No lines at all, very few loaded carriages. I'm sure they are feeling it

Aren't they closing ?Really, I don't live in BP anymore, but it looked full when I used to ship there..
I was in Bingo now. The lines are insane. The store itself is totally manageable and doesn't seem so packed, but then you reach the checkout lanes.... At least 10 people with huge wagons at each of the 16 (the customer service desk was used as well) checkout lanes.By the time its your turn at the register the store will be empty
By the time its your turn at the register the store will be empty![]()
How difficult is it to find stuff there ?
Things are organized completely differently than a whole year, so you can't expect to know where everything is. If you go through the aisles, you should find what you need I think.
Produce and dairy are unchanged.
Aren't they closing ?False rumor

Don't do thatIf it is only a few odds and ends that were missed while going through the store I don't see the big deal. The problem is when someone brings while shopping carts.

The problem is when someone brings while shopping carts.I'll never forget when we went Pesach shopping about 15 years ago in KRM, we got to the line with about 7-8 people ahead of us - an easy hour+ until our turn, by the time we were third in line this guy came over and asked if he can cut in front of us since he only had few items, naturally we said yes, he left the cart with his Son and proceeded to overfill it and bring another overflowing cart. The Chutzpa of some people!!!

For example Bingo gets golden flow milk for the same $2.40 that all other groceries get it, but all groceries charge a minimum of $2.79, while Bingo sells it for $2.49,making a smaller profit, but selling more, selling it at a loss.
It's only due to the pressure from Mehadrin that Bingo shouldn't be cheaper then other groceries.

Haddar is definitely NOT Kedem brand. The two owners despise each other.Hadar has been kedem for quite some time already. Until last year kedem had a monopoly on retail kosher grape juice. All brands are either owned by them (IE: Hadar) , copacked by them or they sold concentrate ( IE: natures own). Last year Welch's/Manishewitz began their own line and this year Natures own began purchasing concentrate from someone else.
But he should at least be a few cents cheaper then other groceries.Bingo went up in price with a lot of products like the taster's choice coffee before pasach it was $4.49 now $5.99 by rosner's grocery you could still get it for $ $4.99

There a plenty of wine companies out there, etc. etc. etc. The fact that the Herzog clan controls the kosher wine market (and through other subsidiaries such as Medek, etc. try to control other markets) probably doesn't reach the FTC antitrust radar screen.

I recall when Kedem first branched off into Haddar's territory (IIRC it was the Geffen brand that they started with). The owner of Haddar at the time got so upset, he tried to go into the wine business in retaliation (and IIRC he claimed that only his mevushal wine is mevushal according to all shittos, while Kedem wines are mevushal by pasteurization which some opinions don't accept). Well, we all know how that ended. I doubt anyone even remembers what brand name he used (I don't).

Haddar was bought by KedemReally? When?
Every new brand of wine coming in to the USA, kedem is there. They saw that Or Hagunoz wine is good going, so they bought off the importing/distribution of the USA, as not to leave any space for a competitor....That has been going on for decades. But the FTC will not get involved.
At the time I was working for relatives of the owner of Haddar, and occasionally did some work for the owner of Haddar, so I report the story as I heard it back then from the owner.Hadar tried to get intp grape juice market. Kedem smashed them with Gefen.
Really? When?Ask your local grocery. (If you still have one, & your not shopping in Bingo
I have a hard time believing that.

I guess I was mistaken on the Haddar and Bauer brands. They truly hated each other. Guess they made up.they didn't make up. It was a hostile takeover. On a side note Hadar grape juice ceased to exist for a few years until Welch's made its debut last year. In a brilliant buisness decision, kedem decided not to compete with their own "premium" product but rather brought back out Hadar to compete with Welch's. In the end they lowered the price on the kedem brand also to as low as $2 per 64oz bottle.
no, Pepsico bought out and acquired Sabra. Kayco happens to sell/distribute both Coke and Pepsi. They do not own those companies.Someone above pointed to that website as some proof the Kedem ow ed Hadar. Thats all i was saying.

While that's clearly ridiculous, it is true that kedem owns haddarOr to put it in other words, given the history, the mere fact that they distribute Haddar indicates that they own it. Under the old ownership I doubt whether they would be distributing products for a company they are in a fight with.

got it. Is there a specific relationship with Bingo and Osem? What about other brands, etc...?I don't know if they have a specific relationship, but they are big enough (in Israel) to import things on their own, rather than rely on distributors.
I don't know if they have a specific relationship, but they are big enough (in Israel) to import things on their own, rather than rely on distributors.But Osem is not something they would be importing to Israel.
But Osem is not something they would be importing to Israel.Right, but even though they only have one store (currently) in the US, I wouldn't put it beyond them to start their own import where they believe it makes sense for them. In Israel they were in a fight with Osem for a while, and were selling Osem products branded for the Arab market, bypassing whatever standard distribution channel exists there.
But Osem is not something they would be importing to Israel.
it looked like they brought Osem direct from Israel to Bingo when I was there. 10+ feet of an aisle had the top 2 shelves full of cases of Osem mini-mandlach, and the bottom 2 shelves, also 10+ feet full of their "BluPantry" mini-mandlach (cheaper). Bought a few of both brands to compare -- very good.their mandlach is crap! And so is their wafer rolls!

I don't know if they have a specific relationship, but they are big enough (in Israel) to import things on their own, rather than rely on distributors.I heard that the fight Osem had with other ad, was specifically Bingo related, because Bingo bypassed Osem USA, & they imported themselves.
From what I understand is their shipping things to Israel then bringing it back thus bypassing exclusive distribution rights...
What they did with haolam was buy 20000 pieces of American cheese to be delivered through the year and paid in full upfront.. they couldn't refuse the prices he insisted on.. but they have no intention of doing so in the future...
I heard that the fight Osem had with other ad, was specifically Bingo related, because Bingo bypassed Osem USA, & they imported themselves.I heard this with another distributor, that he sold their products below their retail price, and they checked and saw the barcode/routing numbers that it was from Israel. They warned him of he does this again, they won't sell to Osher Ad anymore
After Chanukah materna that belongs to Osem was on sale in all Israeli chain stores for 30 NIS (instead of 50-60), & Osher ad didn't have it on sale.
I heard this with another distributor, that he sold their products below their retail price, and they checked and saw the barcode/routing numbers that it was from Israel. They warned him of he does this again, they won't sell to Osher Ad anymoreWhat a shame... The distributers think that we Americans need to pay more.
What a shame... The distributers think that we Americans need to pay more.Hence the term Grey Market
The company (let's say Osem) makes 50 on each item they sell to Osher ad, so why do they think that items that they sell for the American market they need to make $1 on????? (If they wouldn't make more, then it wouldn't bother them that Bingo ships it themselves)
I was today in Bingo, Mehadrin did not go up in price.Yes it did. the lebens are now 99 cents instead of 10.99 for 12 and earlier they ha been selling 24 for 17.99

Ist the color one of the simanim? There are no fins or scales on the fillet.You are understanding. When you buy farmed salmon it is orange. When not fed an orange rich diet the flesh will not be orange but for that reason they do feed it such a diet. Being a naturally orange fish it absorbs it and therefore has Orange flesh.
You do know that farm raised salmon isn't orange. They feed it orange colored food for color.all salmon gets its pink color from its food. It's the beta carotene.

2. Paging @TimT we've discussed the color issue at length a while ago on the Kashrush master thread IINM, and after reading the sources quoted there, it does seem like the color is a siman muvhak. There's only one non-kosher fish (can't recall what it is at the moment) that could get that color, but that fish is naturally larger, and at the size of salmon would not be edible (or commercially viable).

Going off topic.It's a restaurant/grocery wholesaler. You need to have a resale or tax-exempt certificate in order to shop there (though they don't put a person's name on the card, only business name). It's definitely not a retail shopping experience.

Their product sizes are different than anything available in any of the other places. So are you sure? Also, Moisha's is about 10% more than KRM so its closer if not the same as KRM.

What's thomy?
Mayonnaise that comes in a thick metal tube (this is Switzerland were talking about) like toothpaste. Some people like it way better than regular Mayonnaise.FTFY.
I remember all the Swiss guys would show up in yeshiva with a suitcase full of it.
Overrated mayonnaise that comes in a tube like toothpaste. Nothing to be excited for.I lile my mayo and mustard separate.
I think that's cheaper than Israel.Israel has 17% VAT
I lile my mayo and mustard separate.
Good luck making sure of that. In the US, companies are not required to list mustard in the ingredients, because the FDA feels that allergy to mustard is not common enough. In Europe, it is required to list mustard, because it is an allergen with deadly consequences.This is based on the myth that ingredients below a certain percentage do not need to be listed.
Chances are the mayo you have used all your life includes mustard

Saw a photo of them selling salmon filet for $6.49 lb.They bought out shoprites stock at $5.77lb last week? 🤔
They bought out shoprites stock at $5.77lb last week? 🤔In the Lakewood Shoprite the kosher counter once told me they were going through 3+ tons a day during these sales.
Kosher Fish counter guy at shoprite said he sold 7 tons (15,000 lbs.!!!) Over the last 2 weeks that it was on sale. Of course for Rosh Hashana it will be $9.99lb >:(
Tastes like dirt too.I bought baby salmon at Bingo and also thought there was something off about the taste.

Is it true they're selling Maftir Yonah for $9.99 ? :)Yes, just go to any register and give the cashier a crisp $15 dollar bill and they will give you your receipt with a $5.01 bill as ypur change.
I Wonder if it will have an effort on the prices
I personally dont think so... because they are only offering it one day... while I was driving there, I passed a few busy kapours center and they werent empty. I want to open my window and scream go to bingo and dont get ripped off;)They don't advertise...but I'm sure that next year many ppl will know about it.

most of their electronics are made in China. Anything that hot that I would plan to keep plugged in and powered on for 3 days and nights would need to be a national brand, or made in the USA, Japan, or the equivalent, in my opinion...Hotplates: One of the workers in the Buzz told me that there are 2 companies making them, a cheaper and more expensive, the cons of the cheaper is that that you don't have whom to talk to if you have a problem, else it's good.
Hotplates: One of the workers in the Buzz told me that there are 2 companies making them, a cheaper and more expensive, the cons of the cheaper is that that you don't have whom to talk to if you have a problem, else it's good.Why would Buzz do that?
Bingo makes there hotplate by the same place as the cheaper company. The buzz pays almost double then the price that Bingo sells it for.
Bingo effect is working; yossi's fish store on 13th Ave between 53 & 54, has fillet salmon for $8.19! That's only .20 more then bingo.A butcher told me that his supplier is selling chicken at bingo at the same price hes charging him. Whats he supposed to do, sell it at the same price hes paying ? Nebech hes choking
Why would Buzz do that?Do what?
Do what?Why wouldn't buzz cut ou the wholesaler?
Buy it from the wholesaler for almost double then bingo is selling it for?
Bingo has no middle man & is working on marginal profits.

Why wouldn't buzz cut ou the wholesaler?They are not, they are buying it from the wholesaler, for almost double the price bingo is selling retail.

does NPGS have simlar prices on some items such as meat/chicken, groceries, etc...?Not even close, they're super expensive on meat and chicken.

That being said there's nothing like the Npgs flanken ends in the cholent no other store sells flanken ends as good as Npgs (I've tasted from other stores not as fatty and taste like a barn) and it's priced well too..

That definitely adds to the price etc but the reason for them carrying that itself comes from a kashrus standpoint nothing to do with quality or any other pros and cons...3.79lb if your looking for meat this ain't for you it's extremely fatty you can sift through the shelf for a more meatier piece...

$5.79/lb this week at Jetro bulk price (less than a case is usually .40-.50 more).How many pounds is a bulk case?
How many pounds is a bulk case?Anywhere between 20 and 40, depending on what supplier they get on any given day. It's usually anywhere between 7 and 12 sides per case. The lower count being for larger fish (4-5 lbs per side) and the higher count for smaller fish (3-4 lbs per side). And while the labels on each case often have the count in addition to the total weight, I have found the count on the label to be wrong many times (especially with larger fish).

How far out is exp date on these things ?
Dont recall but they were still within the fresh period.I was there a few weeks ago, they had great price on a big box of gushers or fruit rollups. But exp date was 2 weeks as opposed to 6+ months. Was probably hard as rocks.
I wonder how that would play off of Costco which would be right next door...
i think thats there game plan.... get shoppers that go to costco but offer them kosher.They cant compete with Costco they are not stupid they know that
They cant compete with Costco they are not stupid they know that
For instance the coffee detergents line etc probably wouldnt do so hot being a stones throw from costco.Ok but why would they want to be the place u go after u go to Costco. Just to get what u cant buy from Costco. Bad business plan
They cant compete with Costco they are not stupid they know thatI hope so. If anything it would be smarter to pull in the non costco goers.

Personally I think they are banking way too much on the success of the Brooklyn store. Right now they draw crowds from all over, so they do a booming business. IMO NY/NJ frum communities can support max 2 of these stores. Once they have one in Lakewood/Monsey/Five Towns/Williamsburg.... I highly doubt they will continue seeing the same success.Lets cross that bridge when we get there.
Lets cross that bridge when we get there.They claim to be opening a total of 4 stores, within the next year or two.

Not sure why many people refer to bingo as kosher Costco. Bingo is not a wholesale club. It seems just like a large supermarket with some big ticket sale items.Makes a line out the door, which looks good for business ::)
Also why on earth do they place the main sale items right in the beginning of the store? Causes such congestion

Not sure why many people refer to bingo as kosher Costco. Bingo is not a wholesale club. It seems just like a large supermarket with some big ticket sale items.In Israel it's more a wholesale club than anywhere else they have. Large stores, larger packages, fewer choices and good prices. It's somewhere between a regular supermarket and a wholesale club in my opinion.
Also why on earth do they place the main sale items right in the beginning of the store? Causes such congestion
IINM credit cards have it coded as a wholesale club, and after all, that's really what counts in these circles.Correct at least on the discover card.
Do they still have kittles?Yes
While I don't think any of the poskim/mefarshim mention malchus in relation to the kittel, there are different minhagim/psakim pertaining to shana rishona and aveilus that reveal 2 potential reasons for wearing a kittel at the seder: to remember yom hamisa and temper the simcha of the seder, or to be like malachei hashares and add simcha. According to the first reason, it makes no sense to have a fancy kittel, while according to the second reason it depends.Matteh efraim says since it's a yom tov beged it should be nice, can't remember exactly where. Probably hilchos Yom kippur
See Igros Moshe:
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=922&st=&pgnum=339

Because he holds like the second tzad.Not sure that it's taluy. I think it's because, regardless, it's worn on Yom tov
Not sure that it's taluy. I think it's because, regardless, it's worn on Yom tovHe doesn't say that very clearly. Besides, what's the lomdus? Why does worn on yom tov mean you should put a silver atara on it?
... an aveil can wear a kittel on yom kippur.
Why wouldn't he wear it? There is no Aveoulos on Shabbos, and YomTov ends Aveoulos.He means aveilus for the year.
Why wouldn't he wear it? There is no Aveoulos on Shabbos, and YomTov ends Aveoulos.
He means aveilus for the year.I actually don't know if anyone holds they shouldn't wear a kittel on yom kippur, but there is certainly a machlokes whether they should wear a kittel on pesach.
Because he holds like the second tzad.Looked it up, he doesn't explain exactly how it's connected, but I can hear that once it's worn on y"k and at the Seder for whatever reason, now it's considered a Yom tov beged. Look at the elef lamateh there. He has a long arichus
ETA: Scratch that. He says explicitly that an aveil can wear a kittel on yom kippur. He adds that there's a minhag to make a silver or gold atara on a chosson's kittel because it will be worn on yom kippur and pesach - but he doesn't really explain how those 2 things fit together.
I actually don't know if anyone holds they shouldn't wear a kittel on yom kippur, but there is certainly a machlokes whether they should wear a kittel on pesach.M"B says there are those with a minhag not to wear even on y"k
I actually don't know if anyone holds they shouldn't wear a kittel on yom kippur, but there is certainly a machlokes whether they should wear a kittel on pesach.Same about YK
I actually don't know if anyone holds they shouldn't wear a kittel on yom kippur, but there is certainly a machlokes whether they should wear a kittel on pesach.

Just remember- CASH ONLY!!Correct. No refunds or purchase protection when the whole thing comes collapsing apart. Though this way is a little more safe than getting a whole airplane like the other companies did.
Correct. No refunds or purchase protection when the whole thing comes collapsing apart. Though this way is a little more safe than getting a whole airplane like the other companies did.Why should it come collapsing? I would imagine that even if they don't sell the needed tickets to get the prices they are selling for they will eat the loss. It wouldn't be worth it for them to let it just collapse and they should be able to absorb it.
The CASH only is a little concerningCash shouldn't be concern because a business like this won't take away your money they will not ruin there name.
Cash shouldn't be concern because a business like this won't take away your money they will not ruin there name.A few people having to miss the flight for medical reasons or any other legitimate refund reason, I doubt theres gonna be who to talk to there ITS A GROCERY STORE!
My 2 cents

If everything is 100% legit, why wouldn't they accept cc even for a fee??
no disputes - no headachesThen they shouldn't accept CC's in their store at all.
Then they shouldn't accept CC's in their store at all.People spend more when they use a CC. In this case you just know there will be people who will book and be unable to go and they will contest the legitimate charges. There also may be questions of legalities since they are not licensed travel agents etc.

How many people would dispute a grocery charge? There's usually no single item there which is that expensive. If there's a problem a customer is likely to go to customer service and try to resolve the issue with specific item (if at all). This is a single charge of $699 where things can go wrong and Bingo has no control.I hear.
cause someone wants to rack up some CC points??!!If they would take CC's it would be charged at Bingo not TK...
You know of any shadchanim that take cc ?Of course not! because all of us would"ve disputed the charge after seeing what we got our self's into!

Bingo might not be licensed, and they don't want to reveal who their licensed travel agent partner is.You can see who booked it if you have a PNR.

Bingo might not be licensed, and they don't want to reveal who their licensed travel agent partner is. Or is a license not required for this in NY?Anybody can call an airline and negotiate group fares..
Regular english?Indeed. I am practicing.
Would that also be a reason for the problem? Bingo might not be licensed, and they don't want to reveal who their licensed travel agent partner is. Or is a license not required for this in NY?Stam travel agent license is required only in California, Florida and 2 more States, IIRC, but not in NY
If someone purchased a ticket there, pls pm me. Tnxhopefully nobody here is stupid enough to do that
hopefully nobody here is stupid enough to do thatI wouldn't call it stupid, its just a slight risk and your saving $300-500.

What are you expecting to find out?What I would wanna see, do they even give you a real PNR, is it ticketed (probably not), which fare class and who booked it.

Last week after shopping in bingo I was about post a rant and battery died before hitting post,They only sell them as a 2 pack - it's called bingo wholesale for a reason
Just beware the no gimmicks no shtick is a warning to watch out for them, their challa bags are labeled as 2 challa's and they'll charge you for 2 becuase it scans in as 2 challa's, if you buy one leave the bag behind.
They only sell them as a 2 pack - it's called bingo wholesale for a reason
So do they have the app yet like the ones in israel?No
They only sell them as a 2 pack - it's called bingo wholesale for a reasonThen they shouldn't write regular 3.29 get 2 for 5.99, besides the point its very common to have sales tags expired weeks or months....

bought thomy mayo. expired about a month later! MAYONNAISE EXPIRING, NOT MILK! >:( never thought to check expiration for something with a long shelf life
we are still enjoying our $2.99 thomy mayo. It sits on a shelf until it is open. tastes fine. I'll keep checking each week. Tastes great in tuna (with sliced shallots), etc...the first few squeezes by mine was not smooth. but a little afterwards was. but my comment was just a PSA

My wife bought smirinoff Ice screwdriver from there that doesnt have a Hechscher, does anyone know the Kashrus status?I don't see that flavor on the recommended lists. And they all say that they need to have hashgoco, so I'd contact the store.
Last week after shopping in bingo I was about post a rant and battery died before hitting post,2 yogurts 1.19 reg .69 each

2 yogurts 1.19 reg .69 eachUnlike any other supermarket on the planet, you need to buy both in Bingo. In the above scenario 1 would ring up at full price, and you only get the special in multiples of 2.
buy 5 how much do you pay?
Unlike any other supermarket on the planet, you need to buy both in Bingo. In the above scenario 1 would ring up at full price, and you only get the special in multiples of 2.well I Bought 9
Unlike any other supermarket on the planet, you need to buy both in Bingo. In the above scenario 1 would ring up at full price, and you only get the special in multiples of 2.This is SOP in Israel
This way actually makes more sense. If the sale price is applicable to 1 item, just list it as x each. If it's only applicable to multiples, list it that way. The way all the supermarkets do it here is actually backward. Now you can argue about whether they should have sales that require volume, but they certainly wouldn't be the only industry to do it.This that we they
This that we theyContext is not that difficult.
I love when I ask someone should I do Y or Z? Reply Yes.
Now I have to figure where you live.
Context is not that difficult.
As far as I can tell, people are complaining about Bingo listing sale pricing for say 2 yogurts, and only applying it when you buy 2, not 1 (or when you buy 3, applying sale to 2, and regular to one). This is because pretty much every other grocery/supermarket will apply the sale price to even 1 item. I'm saying that the Bingo way stays in line with the actual wording of the sale, while the grocery/supermarket way doesn't. Is it better for the consumer for the sale to apply the same way no matter how you buy? Sure. But then just market/describe it appropriately.
Context is not that difficult.I would expect that once you buy more then the minimum you get the discount, Not odd=Reg/even=Sale

Though one might expect that it is reasonable not to charge sale price if you only buy one of the two, but if you buy more than two, one would expect to get sale price, and not have to get an even number of items. If those are the terms they should clearly state that sale price applies only to even number of items. Otherwise one could also argue that any amount over two doesn't qualify, as the ad/sign only says that sale price applies to 2.I disagree. Obviously it depends on the actual wording, but think of electronics for example. If there's a discount for buying 2, often it's done in such a way that the discount only gets deducted for each pair. Why should this be any different? You can of course set something up where the sale price per item applies to any quantity above a minimum number, but I don't see that being described in grocery sales generally.
Stores generally write MUST BUY 2Right, but that's only when they want the deal to only apply to 2 or more, or whatever. Generally they write things like 5 for $1, even if what it really means is $.20 each. Why not just write that?
Its up to the grocery to operate however they want, you should just be aware that bingo no gimmicks means check the wording, check the label, check the date, check the receipt, pack the bags yourself, guess what you save 5 dollars after all!!
+1000I had the same experience
Especially on the watching the cashier and checking the receipt. On a recent trip to Bingo I got charged $23.99 (+tax) for an item I didn't buy. I've had in the past where a cashier entered the wrong code for some produce I took, that resulted in being charged for a more expensive item.
People that are lazy to do the "Bingo Experience" instead of plane old shopping just try to justify themselves that they will only save a few dollars.....Diadvantages include
Shopping at Bingo can save you a lot - but it comes with its disadvantages.....
Diadvantages includeMost of that sounds like every grocery in Lakewood before GG opened up...
- Pack your Bags
- Limited brand Seletion
- Check the sale wording
- Check the sale Date
- Check the Receipt
- No delivery
IE
Challa has upc barcode price for 2
when it says 2 for buy 2/4/6/8/10
big yellow sale tag might have exp date of 3 weeks ago....
I was in Walgreens last week they had canned salmon at 4 for $5.Tell them bill me for 5 you can keep 2 save .67
They only had 3 in stock so each one rang up at $1.89.
Most of that sounds like every grocery in Lakewood before GG opened up...I was in NPGS they had something dated 12/01/18 I wanted to know if its still in effect, I asked CS, "yea the date is the start date", ok I moved on, next sale tag with date 12/16/18 "oh that's the end date" Oh well, BH Bingo is coming soon..

I would expect that once you buy more then the minimum you get the discount, Not odd=Reg/even=SaleNo it must be even regardless of quantity.

Sharei Revacha is Israel also has it. I believe Osher Ad as well which is why their brining it here.
Stop & Shops also have it on the northeast.
I have seen it at יש חסד in בארות יצחק.I already had my fun with them in bingo Lakewood, loved to be able to see the price.
Coming soon to Bingo: Handheld Scanner Self Check Out as you Shop
Are they getting an app for it? Or will the osher ad one work here too?That would be pretty cool.
That would be pretty cool.Osher ad first has the app then got the scanners.
I'm sure they could work it out. I guess let them get this running before they jump to the smart phones!

2) looks like the scanner tells the cashier to double check specific items, so the cashier had to take out stuff from the bottom of my box, & it just made a message of all the contents
I tried the scanners today, was very happy, just 2 complaints.Was just in the store yesterday, had the same question when scanning my nuts and candy, I bought four five different items from the nuts and Candy section and when scanning with the app it gave only the base price per pound.
1) I bought stuff in the nut factory, & in the quantity on the scanner it listed 1, even though I only had 0.21, could be by the register it will come up as 0.21, but I deleted it from the scanner, & had it ringed up manually by the register.

But we should respect the law from March 1

The law says theres a fee for paper bags, not plastic.They are only breaking the law for a fee.
Just came back from KRM.+1
After April 1, bags will be available for purchase @ 5/ .25, but today they were still free.
Boxes will be .60 each, and it seems like that is already in place. (Although they've delayed the $2.50 increase in delivery fee until after Pesach.)
Does that mean moishas will start charging for their boxes?If all is right in this world theh will charge $0.75 a box ;D
Just came back from KRM.Why all of a sudden they charging $ for boxes? Till now when bags was free boxes also now they want money for it this has nothing with the new law, interesting.

they dont want people taking boxes instead of bags so they are going to charge for them; not for delivery for carry outThey never charged for boxes if you took them. This is simply a business decision to get their overhead covered.

So today is a Sunday. Obviously not a day to attempt Bingo. Any day/time that is generally empty that I might attempt?Put away the leisure shopping spree for after everything settles, Bingo will be mobbed until. stock up on necessities at your local store.
Any day/time that is generally empty that I might attempt?Sometime after Pesach
Put away the leisure shopping spree for after everything settles, Bingo will be mobbed until. stock up on necessities at your local store.
Local store was a pleasure today. But I was thinking of some early Pesach shopping.Early pesach shopping this year is long over. Came & went in the blink of an eye. Or the cough of a mouth.

It's pretty decent, definitely worth it. Seems like it will last.You get what you pay for. Gets awfully rusty from rain, and cannot withstand strong wind.
