I hear Israel is a pure rip off . . .
What kind of lashon hara/narishkeit is this?
If you spend all your time shopping in Yerushalayim amongst the tourists, then yes, you will find the more expensive prices. Real Israelis do not buy their household items in the same places most tourists and Anglo yeshiva bochrim/sem girls do their shopping.
When you make aliyah you will learn this.
