5 Golden Tips To Save Time Or Money When Making Aliyah To Israel
Have you seen the cost of OTC medication at the Pharmacy? Wow!
Most common OTC medications are many times the price in Israel compared to the UK, Europe and the US. So stocking up with things like pain relieving tablets etc is well worth it particularly as they take up little space when travelling.
Number 2...Save lots of Time when Going To An Appointment In Israel
Why are you going to the government office or anywhere at opening time? I think that Israelis must enjoy waiting in a line so get there about 30 minutes prior to closing and it is usually a win win for you, Less or no line and they deal with you more quickly! Examples of this. The annual car test, local municipality etc etc. I think you get the picture!
Moving on to number 3. Save Time And Money On Shopping In Israel
Go into Google and type the shop and town you want in English and you should see the shop details with a bar chart showing the predicted and actual amount of people in the shop for any given day. Mondays and Tuesdays usually best after lunch and late evening. Why fight over a trolley with the natives and stand in a line on a Thursday or Friday?
Fourthly, Israeli Price Comparison Tool To Save You Money
In Google search for "zap and the product you require" say "zap Bosch washing machine". You can then use most browsers to translate the page into English. So now you have two options: to order from the cheapest supplier with a good review or use the price on zap as a bargaining tool if you go into a local shop. EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE. Just be prepared to walk out and be called back!
And finally. Free Internet In Israel
After making aliyah to Israel you may be in temporary or rented accommodation. Mobile phone SIMS are relatively cheap from as little as 30 shekels ($9) per month. You can use the 'hotspot' feature on your smartphone for the whole family to share the Internet as a wifi modem. Just check with the neighbours as to which company has good reception locally and you have a package with a decent amount data and away you go. 4G is widespread and 5G is more and more widespread. Both good enough to stream. so surfing you go.
