Dublin - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Grocery costs are on a par with the USA. Some items are a little cheaper and others a little more expensive. Virtually everything is available and for those few items that are not there's always www.amazon.com.

There are Tesco, Dunnes Stores, SuperValu, Marks and Spencer everywhere. We order almost all out groceries online with www.tesco.ie and have unlimited deliveries of quantities over 50 Euros, for a fee of 10 Euros per month. Order online and it comes right to your door within a 2 hour window that you specify - love it! - Jul 2016


You will pay more for groceries, without a doubt. Be sure to sign up for your local supermarket's reward program. We shopped at Tesco mostly and their reward system was great in that it sent you coupon cash so you'd get 5 Euro off your total, etc. But you'll pay more in general. However, there are plenty of Aldi and Lidl grocery stores and their prices are fantastic so take advantage of those as much as you can! - Jun 2014
