Deals on Samsung MicroSD Cards for the holidays - in Israel

Image
Most android phones can take a MicroSD card for extra storage. Some cameras, drones, laptops, and many other electronics also use these. Samsung MicroSD Cards of various sizes are on a discount. Much better pricing than in Israel.  Having one with large capacity that can write data and read at fast speeds is integral to the system stability of your device. Not all phones and cameras can handle the volume and speeds (too low or high) of certain cards... so please verify before making a purchase.  Here are some recommended products that we use ourselves Samsung 512GB MicroSD with Adapter (Evo Select) Samsung 256GB MicroSD With Adapter (Evo Select) Samsung 128GB MicroSD With Adapter (Evo Select) Samsung 64GB MicroSD With Aapter (Evo Select) Disable Ad-block to see prices: 

OtterBox Defender Cases for iPhones & Samsung on Sale

Deal is no longer active Henry Boulind from unsplash OtterBox is by far, my favorite phone case company. Their products aren't cheap but they are well worth it. Especially if you spent a lot of money on a new phone. They do not have a lifetime warranty unfortunately, which is certainly irritating, but the quality makes up for it.  OtterBox Defender Series for iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus OtterBox Communter Series Case for iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 OtterBox Defender Series Case for Galaxy S10+

Edit: Please see our updated post   with new items shipping free Food from unsplash Here is all the kosher food that I found on Amazon that ships to Israel within the eligible promotion (Select items, free shipping on orders of $49+). If there are coupons, clip them to get savings. And some can be used with Subscribe and Save (S&S), for even more savings. Kosher food is sometimes hard to get in most parts of the world, let alone getting a popular snack from England, Australia, United States, etc. that is acceptable is a challenge...

Family Board and Card Games - Where to get english versions to Israel

Image
Tim Foster from Unsplash Great for Hanukah and all year round. Over the weekend, it is always nice to sit down and enjoy some family time, board games aren't always boring. Unfortunately as immigrants to a foreign country, the same games are available but in the national language (here it's hebrew), so it becomes challenging to comprehend how to play a game like Catan when you can barely read the rules. There are several solutions, one being to print out the english guidebook and copy off of that... Another one is to have a local person teach you the ropes, or to struggle through it yourself... All in all, we have decided on multiple occasions to import it from the United States in English, it became much easier that way.  How do you play board games in Israel (or a foreign country)?  Here are some very popular and among our favorite games you can buy with english!  Board Games Monopoly -   https://amzn.to/2r3Gl9A Operation -   https://amzn.to/33WMTW4   Simon

Medicine Thread - What's permitted to import to Israel

Image
As you may know, the customs authority controls all imported products and items into Israel. Even if you would personally send your friend some Advil or another over the counter medication, there is a good chance that it will fall into the hands of a customs agent.  With that being said, you are permitted to bring certain drugs and not others. Please read up on the articles below and familiarize yourself with the Ministry of Health's Guidelines.  Rules on what can be imported: https://data.health.gov.il/drugs/index.html#!/byDrug https://www.israelpost.co.il/emssys2.nsf/pages/question11-en?opendocument&L=EN https://www.health.gov.il/English/MinistryUnits/HealthDivision/MedicalTechnologies/Drugs/ImportDrugs/Pages/default.aspx Some amazon samples.    https://amzn.to/2Xl8HIw for Advil 200 Liquid-Gel Pills   https://amzn.to/2OqjBc5 For Advil 200 Packets https://amzn.to/2r3B0PO for Gold Bond Baby Powder https://amzn.to/2KuYTXg Eye Drops https://amzn.to/35bdL

Everything but the bagel seasoning - where to get in Israel

Image
Edit: Please see our   updated post   with new items shipping free Everything but the bagel seasoning from amazon.  https://amzn.to/2ptVPDw It's from trader Joe's and kosher. Great for challah or anything else! This miracle spice mix has saved our family time and made baking bread and cooking way more enjoyable. You can get this now in trader joes, costco, gfc,  among many places in the united states.  Israel caught on to the trend a bit later, but if you go to the shuk or a spice store, you can ask them to do a special blend on the spot. They also pop up occasionally at some local grocery store chains, so that's good to know!
