Belfast - Post Report Question and Answers

How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?

You can get anything you want (except pie tins!) but for more than in the U.S. I tended to go to a green grocers, butchers, and bakery -- most neighborhoods have them within walking distance, and the price is comparable to the large food stores but the quality is much better. If you are desperate for American food, Picnic in the City (Royal Avenue) and Sawyers (near the Waterstones) have a good selection. - Nov 2014


Everything is really, really expensive. Groceries are far more expensive then in the U.S., though pretty much everything is available. Grocery stores are increasing their offering of international food products. - Aug 2007
