IS THIS the MOST EXPENSIVE CITY in EUROPE? 🇮🇪

I went into Dunnes which is the Irish version of Waitrose to see how much groceries cost on this side of the Irish Sea. I was a bit perplexed to say the least. Have a look and see how it compares to where to live. #subscribe #share #youtube #vlog #travel #ireland #supermarket #food #moneymanagement #europe

That looks like the poshest Dunnes, where was it? Yep prices here are sky high! ☹

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

It was in ILAC central Dublin

[@peterpopperry4408]

you need to view Bishopstown in Cork thats some shop everything bar the kitchen sink great store would leave the rest in the shadow

[@AlainnCorcaigh]

it's bandon road not Bishopstown, there's people literally come from kerry to do their shopping

[@peterpopperry4408]

@@AlainnCorcaigh fantastic shop there is another Dunnes near it over near Dino schipper , or is it closed ?

[@kevinrussell1319]

Worked there 35 years ago same price as uk. The euro screwed it up.

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

The euro is the gift that keeps on giving 😅

[@walter-st3fb]

inflation in the UK has been crazy nowadays but prices are still not as high as ireland

[@anthonym3351]

Dunnes are no 1 lately thanks to a money back offer 10 euro off 50 etc

Butter always expensive but tasty

[@deebee9151]

I don’t think Dunnes is quite the same as Waitrose. It’s just that some of the stores are a bit fancier than others, you were definitely in a fancy one. The SuperValu stores that used to be Superquinns like the one in Knocklyon I think are more on a par with Waitrose (and a lot more expensive than Dunnes).

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

Oh ok, i got the impression that supervalu was cheaper

[@davidcampbell7209]

It's no wonder that thousands of Irish people travel to Newry to buy their food and Banbridge benefits a good bit as well. Eating out is very very expensive in Ireland as well.

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

That’s what I’d do if I were living in ROI.

[@user-yw6tm6cw1s]

Basic food prices are the same price in all the supermarkets. The supermarkets have fixed the prices between themselves

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

It’s all one big cartel

[@anthonyferris8912]

How the fk can milk be so expensive in Ireland?!

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

I know, I thought that having a huge dairy industry that they’d be practically giving it away

[@Nothingreturned]

Ireland good taste😊

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

I agree 😁

[@gallowglass2630]

Not really familiar with waitrose but dunnes is just a step above lidl or aldi ,but they have grades of stores depending on the area and probably that store was just in a more upmarket area whereas a store in a working class area would be less posh.Avonmore is a big brand but wouldn't say its the main one every region has its dominant Dairy producer like where i live its connacht gold though avonmore is sold here aswell.Most supermarkets are stand alone or where the supermarket owns the shopping centre in dublin its going to be different as i said previously Dublin is in ireland but its very different to the rest of ireland.

[@DKKennedy25]

Prices can also be higher if the shop close to different amenities like hospitals, Airports, Train & Bus stations, or if its open late 10pm or 24hrs, Always carry a reusable bag and save money, Own store brands are almost always cheaper, We have a sugar tax on all sweets,drinks etc so prices can be higher, Yes the new deposit scheme is now in Irelands but not all bottles/cans are accepted its a real mess.

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

It works ok in Germany because the machines are everywhere to get the refunds

[@kenmasters8540]

As a swede this looks pretty cheap :D Lower prices than any supermarket in Sweden that's for sure.

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

I haven’t been to Sweden since 2016 so I can’t compare

[@squarecircle5522]

Irish people won't like to hear that, we love complaining and have victomhood mentality.

[@Marjopolo302]

It's because people paying by credit card don't even look at prices the shops are smiling, if people paid by cash they wud spend what they have in their purse

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

That’s so true, but cash is being discouraged and phased out

[@stephenfarrell706]

A rip off hole like temple bar 10 euro for pint Guinness too.

[@AlainnCorcaigh]

it's worth noting that dunnes give a 10 euro voucher for every 50 spent so most people on average knock 30 euro off their bill every week

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

I wish I’d known, but I was only there for 3 days so I couldn’t eat €50 of shopping in that time 😅

[@TrinaValdez-qu8my]

These prices are pretty high, but not as bad as Uruguay 😢

[@Omar-su3tj]

You should see how bad it is in luxembourg 😅

[@peterpopperry4408]

you have got to take advantage of their discount offers 10 of 50 and other offers by far the widest choice and also by far the best.

A vast majority of peoples shopping is based on unnecssary junk, cakes energy drinks, high sugar foods etc, Shopping for essentials should be the priority.

Koka noodles 1 euro 😮 Home Bargains sell them for like 40p or even less. And that has nothing to do with UK or EU since they are made in Singapore lol.

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

I know right.

[@eily_b]

The products from Ireland are more expensive than the imported ones because the EU pays more subsidies the farer away the produce comes from.

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

So that means that local produce in Ireland isn’t subsidised so the burden is on the Irish to pay full price?

[@yermanoffthetelly]

Cadburys are still made in Ireland along with other Mondelēz products like Oreo (factory in Coolock, north Dublin and Rathmore Co. Kerry) Theres no reason it should be more expensive than anywhere else 😡

[@travellinglostsoul7191]

Must be taxes I guess

[@macker33]

Brexit affected the price of a lot of the stuff we used get from England.
