A few years ago my parents wanted to help a few poor chosen/kallah from Eretz Yesreol with something useful so they bought beautiful linen set. One person told for the next and with time it became an unofficial gemach for linen for poor chosen/kallah from Eretz Yesreol. The thing is that my parents are not well off at all but they have a huge heart and can't say no when they get a phone call. So from Nov. Of this year Till now my parents bought over 80 sets of linen and for each set they paid $70. So I'm asking dear freinds for advise and ideas where to buy beautiful sets for way cheaper so they can keep it running. They are willing to buy a lot (100) at a time if they can get wholesale prices but it has to be decent and strong.
(Anonymous because I think they are the only one that have such a gemach)
Any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.

How nice!

I suggest they talk to local linen stores and explain what they are doing, and ask if they could put in a wholesale order 'through them'. Should work if the retailer is comfortable that they won't be out of pocket, nor stuck holding onto the inventory.

I don't know, but I just want to say that before Pesach I bought 2 sets of linen from J C penney on sale for $36 each (full price was $70) and I was so disappointed! Linen was very cheap and low-quality. I thought I would get good quality for a low price but really I got junk (for a low price,yes ,but it was no metzia.)

My parents are buying from a local store and gave them a better price of $70 instead of $85. They live in Brooklyn

Costco has a full set meaning sheets covers and pillow cases? And do they printed too?

thanks

Ikea has nice duvet sets. You need to buy a matching sheet too. 100% cotton. The ones I bought are good quality, though not so soft.

Mor linen on 39 street between 12 and 13 ave. They sell wholesale to many linen stores. You can get wholesale price if you buy a lot.
