Moving to Ireland | Living in Ireland | Spring is here!
this country is no exception from climbing on the greedy train. Prices are increasing without any real justification other than saying everyone else is doing it, so I will too. A price comparison between `lidl and Aldi would be nice.
Interesting video! Just came back from Lidl here in Amsterdam. I am jealous of your prices for Irish butter. We pay almost €3 for 250 gram here. Our favorite. Much better than Dutch butter 😅 And love all the turkeys and even geese 😍 Not over here. We have the same leg of parma ham here but they are €80 and we have to order them. Chocolate and wine are cheaper here... staples in my household 😅 Great that you have the to good to go app. We should all strive to waste as less food as possible.
Lidl, one of my favourite stores when we visit our wonderful family. Mom is very good with her pricing and always looking for specials. Today we were in the OK Grocer, and butter was on a special for R60, compared to the normal price of over R90. When it comes to wine, you can get a good bottle for under R60. I've just ordered 6 bottles of Unbelievable wine, that's what it is called, for R39 a bottle. Overall, I think we in South Africa are a lot cheaper, but prices have increased quite a bit. So you are not alone. But from experience, your stores have good quality food. Woolworths here, is similar in quality. Nice to catch up with you again 🥰🇿🇦
Yes it's the same in France, fraud inflation we call it. Paying for wars, that we don't want
Bless, You are a trooper Mrs. Watching your family adventure from afar. As an Irishman abroad, I know that uk cost of living is nearly on par with ROI now. That has never been the case in my life before.
what a beatfuil woman u are
did not know aldi had a app
the prices every where are sky high ,great vid
Just got a 55” smart tv from Lidl….£260 ! Bargain.
Have a great Christmas, from Newtownards County Down. 🎉
Jeez, is that the little one, God, where's time gone.as for prices, profiteering, allowed by our government.
South Africa is worse...😢
Hello I am nayemur from Italy we watch your video & it’s really helpful to know about Ireland. We are planing to in Irlanda from Italy can suggest us which state will be easy to find house rent and job I know it’s really difficult to find house in rent. Thank you
I can say.. the majority of these groceries you've shown are more expensive than here in SA... However, some items a touch cheaper but I think overall its cheaper here... The chickens do also seem to be laying some golden eggs with the prices we're seeing around the world for these
“Too good to go” sounds amazing! Lovely overview of prices. Prices are also on the up and up in SA. No more chocolate treats for me 😢🙏🏻🇿🇦❤️
I ‘stagger’ my shopping generally between Lidl and Dunnes Stores depending on what I need to buy and that juggling has offset some of the pain-though I’m not buying for a family. However I’ve just returned from some time in Italy and nearly had a heart attack there when I saw the price of things. From being cheaper-in general-than Ireland a few years ago, now most things are on a par with us (except for wine-€1.90 for a litre in a tetra pack and it was very nice). Even a cup of coffee cost €5! And a cup of hot water with a teabag on the side cost €5 too! I think we’re all suffering!
Compared to the United States, these prices are insanely CHEAP! Exotic fruits and processed/premade foods aside (soups, sweets, etc.), the basic staples and most everything else is 40%-70% cheaper there.
The castle at the start is 1 mile from me and you captured it beautifully
Beautifully inspiring, and gives hope to those of us still navigating our early days in this beautiful country. 6 months in 🇮🇪☘️
beautiful narrative and scenery. Thank You
Beautiful video. We're looking at Ireland in the years ahead for our big move. We just came back from visiting Ireland so thank you for rekindling these thoughts.
The weather is the best thing about Ireland. Never too hot, Never too cold.
Nice video I wish you well. I must admit I have had some nasty spats online with South African rugby fans who seem to absolutely hate the Irish. They call it banter. But it's basically abuse. It's good to hear some positive feedback from South Africans who realise we are a good kind people. I wish your family well.
Yeah, tic toc , you all will be going home soon.
Brilliantly shot and narrated.
So beautifully articulated.
Thank you xxx
Always enjoy your beautiful videos ❤ so happy Ireland continues to be a wonderful journey for you and your family.
Thank you so much x
You are very talented.
Great credit to you and James and the kids. It's not easy even for those of us with some level of support around us but you had to dig even deeper. I think in time, when you look back, you'll miss those 'hard' years. I do. Reminds me (in parts) of Neil Sedaka's song "I miss the hungry years". Ypu usually give a summary of what the budget did or didn't do for you. Might be helpful to others thinking of coming to Ireland. Did they extend the free school books? Was there something about breakfast and/or lunch in school? I'm gone past that. Always seem to miss out. I see some comments about immigrants. I welcome all immigrants. The only reason anyone would come to Ireland is to try, as you are doing, to set out to have a better life. I only wish we could do better in terms of housing everybody, immigrants & locals. I would only ask one thing of them, without losing your own culture or identity, try an assimilate into Irish society. Up to us Irish to try and make that as easy as possible. Keep up the great content. You do have a talent. You should contact RTE. Maybe you can become a correspondent for the southeast or become a presenter for Nationwide. I'm serious. What have you to lose?
Thank you so much for you lovely comment. I had to search for the song on youtube, a beautiful song! Have it playing now. Words ring true! I will definitely have to do a cost of living video update very soon as things have changed quite a lot since I last did one. The budget has been kind to families this year, will do an update.
This was fantastic
Best of luck with your family and future
Thank you so much
Five years already 🎉
and how it's flown!
Glad it's working out for you guys. We have many problems, but so far, personal safety is reasonably good for the majority.
Thank you so much
Fáilte go hÉirinn, Bronwen. You tell a story like a native! All the best to you and the family 😊
Thank you! You too!
Five years, so you'll be thinking of citizenship for family members not born here? Hope you apply and get it, which I'm sure you will.
Indeed, busy with the application process as we speak!
What a beautiful video & narration. We too have been here 5 years. Me as "Returning Irish" & my hubby as a South African who had never even visited Ireland before we moved across. His journey from the vastly unfamiliar to now, where he also feels that Ireland is his home is much like yours. The good days, the bad days. Me showing him the beauty of the country. Teaching him the subtle intricacies of Irish culture. Buying our dream property, deep in the countryside. All leading to the point where he refers to Ireland as Home. I'm so happy that you love this country as much as we do. 💕
What a journey you've had, and now have a piece of Ireland to call your own. We're working towards that... one day x Thank you so much for your lovely comment
Wow, just wow. You are so talented, that was a very beautiful video. So well narrated and put together. I'm so happy that you and your lovely family are still here. There was a few times over the last few years that I thought that you guys might have enough of the horrible weather and leave for sunnier climes. But, you have persevered. For what its worth, we are very lucky to have you and your family here. We need the diversity and talent that you guys bring. We are fortunate that in 2024, Ireland is a land of opportunity. It hasn't always been like that (thanks England) but the home grown talent is here and with a sprinkling of South African magic we will all prosper. Your sacrifices will be worth it, believe me. Your children will grow up safe, rich in the culture, tradition and history of Ireland while reminded of their amazing African heritage by you guys. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but your skills should be recognised and used in the media industry. You have a gift.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It would be an absolute dream to be paid to make videos... for now this will do x
Is that carys castle at the beginning of your video?
Hi Marian, yes it is Careys Castle. Such a beautiful spot in the forest.
Can it really be 5 years already? 😮 Life happens when you are making plans. May the road rise up to meet you ❤❤❤❤❤
Time has just flown! Thank you so much, love that Irish saying
every one welcome to work contribute and not pretend your seeking asylum. Seeker benefits but just doing what millions of irish did and seek to improve your situation without being leeches on your host state
You narrate brilliantly, you should think about writing you and your families journey, i'd read it, just saying, cead mile failte to you and yours
Thank you so much!
Congratulations. An eloquent beautiful video.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful video Bronwyn, South Africas loss is Irelands gain.
Thank you
Love from South Africa, you said this so beautifully❤
Thank you so much
Great that you and your family have settled into Irish life, you are very welcome here. Great vlog, thank you.
Thank you! 😃
Brilliant move!
Thank you
Wish the latest batch of immigrants were as nice as your family !?
Buitifully put
Thank you so much x
Ja well no fine. You're not alone in taking this step.
Keep enjoying your dreams , there always a new one around the corner.
Good.
