I think there’s only one brand in Bingo. Name starts with an M. How do you rate it, In thinness and taste?

We bought from bingo a few years ago, during the great matza shortage. Dh crisped them up in the oven and said they were good. I didn’t try them myself. (I can’t eat much gluten)

Every year, every brand is different.

Has anyone tasted the Bingo Shmura Matza THIS year (brand name starts with an "M", but I think theyre only selling one brand this year?

When would someone have eaten them yet? It isn't Pesach.
I've had Shatzer matzah that was inconsistent in the box. Some thin, some thick.
Imo, all brand are like that. We like to crisp then in the oven, too.

I bought matza in bingo. There were a couple companies. I bought one that was marked THIN for the sedarim and otherwise I bought the regular. Last year my parents bought and they were fine.

I think "Mehuderet".

Right after Purim Bingo had 2 kinds, I think they were both "Mehuderet".

Some boxes were marked "Thin" and they werent that thin.

Now Bingo has no boxes marked "Thin".

Probably go for the Lakewood thin that I saw at KRM. I've heard people say it's good.

Anyone knows the price of "Lakewood thin" now?

Its different, year by year, with some brands. Kerestir used to be thin and excellent, this year its not that thin, but tastes ok.

59.99 each for Lakewood Extra Thin. I'm not sure if that's a pound or a little more than a pound.

I had bingo matza and it was fine.
I had three types.
Thin $20 pound was great
$25 box/2 pound box (thin box) I didn't love but was ok
$8.99 / 1 pound was great

Was this in Bingo Brooklyn? One year we got good Matzah there, but definitely not this year.

Are you able to name the brand names?

I dont remember seeing different brands there. I just saw pound boxes and 2 pounds boxes, same brand. I think the blue boxes we threw out were from KRM.

Our favorite Matzah was Tiferet thin.

We also didn't eat that box. It was all broken matzah too. Wondering if yours had any whole ones.

We bought in bingo in lakewood and it was totally fine. We bought 2lbs boxes. Maybe a little thicker than usual.
But it was $20/2lbs for that price we can eat a little thicker!
