EARLY BIRD PASSOVER DEAL: Gold-edged "Looks-Like-Real" Elite Selection Disposable tableware on Amazon (less than Amazing Savings prices)



With the volume of guests that we have over Passover and a non-kasherable dishwasher, I use high-quality "looks like real" disposable tableware for almost every Yom Tov meal. I simply refuse to be chained to the sink.

In the past, I would buy all my "looks like real" tableware at Amazing Savings, a small, famous East Coast store chain. Whenever I'd go into New York to visit my family, I'd come home with a small suitcase full of tableware.  Their prices were the absolute lowest around, and I used them as a benchmark for my "looks like real" tableware pricing.

Then I started to notice that on rare occasions, Amazon would have a deal that was even better than Amazing Savings!  The deals below reflect pricing that is lower than Amazing Savings for comparable tableware. No more shlepping home suitcases of this stuff again!



FYI, Amazing Savings sell the comparable design in a 10-count pack for $5.99, so these are about 17% less expensive. No quantity limits.

Finally, Amazon has got these 50-count gold disposable napkin rings for $9.50 with free shipping.  (They also come in silver.)  I thought they looked so pretty with the gold plates.  And at 19 cents each, they are a huge bargain.

What to feed your pet on Passover


DISCLAIMER AND CREDIT:  I am not a halachic authority (nor do I play one on tv). All the lists and guidelines mentioned here came from two excellent halachic sources:
These lists are good only for Passover 2015.  I urge you to consult with your local halachic authority and not to rely on Rabbi Internet for any halachic questions you might have regarding pet food on Pesach.

On Passover/Pesach, according to halacha, a Jewish person may not even "derive benefit" from chametz, which means that while your pets do not need to keep kosher, you may not feed them food containing chametz on Pesach.  You many, however feed them food containing kitniyos, such as rice or corn.

You don't need to buy a new food bowl for your pet on Pesach, but you must wash out your pet's bowl very thoroughly and remove all traces of old food.

The lists below were taken verbatim from the two kashrus sources cited above, the CRC and the Star-K.  Even when purchasing a brand name mentioned on this list, make sure to check all labels. There should be no chometz listed. A product listing both meat and dairy ingredients may also not be used any time during the year or on Pesach.
