<div>B'SD<br><br>Several shopkeepers have asked me to alert Anglos to bargains in lower Bet Shemesh. It has nifty shopping venues that many newcomers and RBSers might not know of. Here's your FYI on that:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Check out the shops at the shopping center with Bank Poalim and the courthouse. Amazing shoe bargains all over (do some comparison price shopping and save, save, save. 2-10 shek stores have bargains on some basics, including durable name-brand Naaman household goods. Stop in at shops you might not suspect you need. Hidden gems abound in the area: affordable fabrics, trim, toys, bicycles, and more. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Remember to look carefully at teudot kashrut in local food establishments. Some might be out of date, absent or somehow askew. Enjoy the certifiably kosher food you can eat.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Behind Bank Poalim is a strip of shops that can surprise you with their bargains and services (your kids will have fun discovering alleyways with shortcuts to better shopping). The terrific service and sale prices at Mamila Mobile phone store at 11 Sholomtzion HaMalka (not far from the totally treif l'mehadrin meat shop) can provide you with affordable cell phones (name the model!) and accessories at prices not seen in name-brand stores. The newly expanded back of the store area now offers matching elegant shoes and purse/bags, tikim (whatever your mother tongue calls them), picture frames and a few whatnots. Call 02.6223707 or 0543.444.302 for information from the French and Hebrew-speaking proprietor. He gives 1-year warranties even on 2nd-hand cell phones. Remember to have him punch in the language you prefer before leaving the store.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can take your cameras in for repair to the nearby photo shop, make copies of documents there and more. Pinny's nearby luggage store sells handsome wares. Repairs to shoes, suitcases and other stuff are done on the premises, often within the hour of your drop-off.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Keep exploring the area and when you're ready for kitsch, cute costume jewely and hats check out the indoor mall housing the main Bet Shemesh post office and Shemesh HaEleh catering hall. Down the steps, make a left and find food bargains with astonishing customer service at Pashut Zol supermarket (Bituach Leumi is just down the street, in the same building as SuperBus).<br>
</div>
<div> You and your wallet will be better off for the effort. Shana tova.</div>
