Hikind’s office conducts shmurah matzah survey
Cheapest Handmade Shmurah Matzah Found in Brooklyn
State Assemblymember Dov Hikind’s (D-Brooklyn) staff visited numerous supermarkets throughout New York City this past week to survey handmade shmurah matzah prices at various locations. The matzah survey, which spanned 30 supermarkets in Brooklyn, Queens, Far Rockaway and the Five Towns, was conducted to serve those who are seeking the best prices available for shmurah matzah this Pesach.
A survey result showed the cheapest matzah is being sold in Brooklyn for $11.99 per pound, with prices ranging up to $35 per pound for other brands at different locations.
“This is about providing the Jewish community with a guide when purchasing their hand-made shmurah matzah for Pesach,” Hikind said of the survey. “This yom tov is by far the most expensive to prepare for. If you want to save money and be a smart consumer, my advice would be to just shop around.”
