Where we live in NYC everything is ridiculously overpriced. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good website where I can order paper goods for the seuda- plates, cups, etc. and also maybe cute bags/boxes for my mishloach manos. nothing fancy, just some colorful plates and small boxes.
TIA

You should consider driving in to boro park (not far from the city!) and shopping everything in one day, it will come out cheaper and you will save yourself a lot of agony. The entire 13th avenue is lined with purim super centers, a one-stop-shopper’s haven!

Shani, they're there. Scroll down.

I have never heard of a zip lock challah bag!!!! That's an interesting concept, having a bag ESPECIALLY for that!!

I just checked one item that I know the price of-the plastic 'silverware'. your site was $3 more than I paid. not sure about shipping at this point. have u used them? how is their service?
the site I use has great service-they even called me w/ a question rather than emailing.

I also tried the special plastic table cloths for Shabbos, the disposable ones, Until I found that you can buy drop cloth at the hardware store, and cut it into 3 table cloths, for a lot less $$$.

But I'm thrilled there are things like cholent pot liners and things like that now.

Honestly - her store is here and when I go in she gives me the stuff - cause, well, she knows my $ituation - so just thought I'd pass her name. I didn't know the prices or price compare - I certainly would understand the need for cheaper price.
Let me know if anyone actually gets stuff there.

green, I wasnt complaining about the $$. if her service is good, I would spend $3 extra to support a yid and a ba'alas chessed too.
