ROSH HASHANA LOOMS LARGE ON THE HORIZON

Most years, by this point in Ellul, most butchers have raised their prices so high you need to take out a second mortgage to buy. Here in Queens, this year there seems to be no big jump in prices. What’s going on your hood?

We are fortunate here, because a new Glatt supermarket (full size with ample parking) opened and the owners are blowing meat and chicken off the shelf with their “come on in and look around” prices.

This can only be good for the rest of us in this area as we can shop without wondering if there will be money left over to buy tomatoes.

It is our hope that this sort of restraint in pre holiday pricing is being seen all over the country, although we expect not.

Happy shopping.
