Bought mine in 2012, Looks like I paid $50 for the bag full. I have 5.2K in the picture above, the frypan full and gave a lot away, so I'm guessing I would have bought a round figure of 10K back then for the 50 shekels.
Prices must have gone up... serves you bloody right for voting Labour!
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
