Seven Mile Market - supposedly the largest kosher supermarket in the country.

Market Maven (formerly Seasons) - great prices for meat and chicken, also good place for shabbos food

Also depends which state your E-ZPass is from, and if you have a NY/ nj ezpass, the port authority crossings are much cheaper with a port authority plan if you go 3 times in one month. Also carpool discount on p.a. crossings. Delaware/md toll is very easy to bypass, and if you go enough times a year, you can get a hatem bridge plan for the Susquehanna River and pay $28 a year for unlimited crossings

So $60 is closer:

Breakdown: CMIIW

Verrazano $11.52 (EZ-PASS OW) $17 W/O EZ PASS
Goethals $12.50 (EZ-PASS OW) $15 W/O EZ PASS
Delaware memorial $8 (RT)
Delaware Turnpike $8 (RT)
Turpike $18.20 (RT)

TOTAL: WITH EZ-PASS $58.22 W/O: $66.20 

I guess my $100 estimate was including gas

You can skip most of the turnpike by switching to the 295 by exit 7 (56 on the 295) by fort Dix..

And if you really want to save an extra few cents, you can take the outerbridge crossing rather than the Goethals

As mentioned, Goethals is significantly cheaper with port authority plan or carpool

Also easy to shunpike the Del turnpike by exiting at Newark, should be less than a 5 minute diversion
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

I'm pretty sure that all PA of NYNJ bridges are the same price
