Shefa Birkat Hashem price comparison
Before a holiday the basket at Shefa Birkat Hashem grows several times over, and a percentage gap that was not worth noticing in an ordinary week turns into a sum you feel. That is the moment when comparing before you leave the house pays better than any other check in the year, and also the moment when there is least patience for it.
Where the chain came from
The chain was founded in 2007 and grew to around 27 branches, with mehadrin kosher supervision and an offer aimed at the religious and Haredi public. Its branches sit in Haredi centres from Afula in the north to Netivot in the south.
How the prices reach us
This chain publishes its branch prices on a shared price-publication site, where most of the publications we read also sit. The price shown is the last one we have read for the branch you picked.

What you can do in the app
- A large household buys in quantity, and a big pack is only cheaper if it is cheaper per kilo. Scan it and find out.
- On bread, milk and eggs you will find no gap between chains, because their price is controlled — which is exactly what makes the rest of the basket worth checking.
- One shared list stops the same item being bought twice.

Common questions
Is it worth comparing before a holiday?
Especially then. The basket is larger, so the same percentage gap comes to a larger sum.
Can I prepare a list in advance and tick it off as I go?
Yes. Build the list beforehand, and in the shop mark what was taken and what was not there.
