you are clearly from brooklyn. Why is everything in that city a competition??????????
in that city your chusiv if you spend tons of money on your shaloch manos and if u give tons of people. to me ur a total idiot if you do that. People spend thousands of dollars just so t5hey can be the talk of the town. everyone needs to grow up. this isnt first grade where all the kids compete over who gives the most nosh, give something respectable and nice. THATS IT NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS.
it bugs me when im on 13th ave around purim time and i see all the stores selling shaloch manos for crazy prices. everyone GROW UP
