How Much Did You Pay For A Pound Of Matzah

[Yo ssi]

Apparently there were people who used to bake matzos after Shabbos before the seder, the Alter Rebbe didn't like that minhag because we want the children to be up for the Ma Nishtana.

Chasam Sofers minhag was to bake Matzos pesach night every year.

I remember hearing that this is still done on Yerushalayim. I have no way to verify the accuracy.

Interesting. It's also interesting how much the Alter Rebbe gave importance to having the seder as soon as possible for the children.

It's not the Alta Rebbe's oiftu, it's the ט׳׳ז who is against baking at night for that reason among other reasons, which the Rav quotes them all.

I'd guess this isn't done on mass scale today. Maybe it was an ancient minhag Yerushalayim. (It's all various dayos being mentioned in Tor actually)

Supposedly some Yemenites still do it

Chareidim are $62 a pound this year (2022), up from $55!  Our family is finally making a clean break.  All costs have gone up, but this has become prohibitively expensive, particularly as a box does not even weigh a pound.  We will chew a little more this year.

Why not just round it up to $100 ?

Not for chareidem. You take out a mortgage.

you can buy retail for $10 lb. It might not be exactly what you want, but it has  a good hashgacha and makes it affordable for many

[EliJelly]

What so good about Chareidim that they can afford to ask double? Sure it's $65 a pound and not per box -2 lb?

Some people are hooked on it. Pupa/tzelim is plenty good too.
