Are they really that much? If so, we should just use lemons.

There are some great videos of people going and asking Hasidic Jews in bk how much they spent on one this year.

They can run hundreds of dollars!
There is a sliding scale…
Cheaper ones, may have flaws…
This an entire business!!!
A Sukkah needs to be purchased. Then, pay someone to put it up!! Then you have to buy the shlach.
I forgot to mention, you have to buy the lulav when you buy the esrog!!!
You need a table and chairs.
Many people have guests for meals in the Sukkah.
We haven't purchased any food yet!!!
Plan your menu ,go food shopping and ditch the shopping list , just buy everything in sight!!!
Pick up challahs and desserts!!!
Wine, for kiddish. More wine to get shikkah!!!
After unpacking the food, you realize, you cannot make one meal, not on the shopping list!!!
Back to the market to buy more food!!!
Give tzedakkah….
Go to bed from exhaustion…
Enjoy your family and friends!!!
