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! ☹
It was in ILAC central Dublin
you need to view Bishopstown in Cork thats some shop everything bar the kitchen sink great store would leave the rest in the shadow
it's bandon road not Bishopstown, there's people literally come from kerry to do their shopping
@@AlainnCorcaigh fantastic shop there is another Dunnes near it over near Dino schipper , or is it closed ?
When I come home to Ireland from where I live in Manchester, I usually shop in Dunnes for clothes that I can’t find in Asda, Tesco, Primark (Pennys) and in M&S - prices are usually the same, but the quality can sometimes be hit and miss in the Irish versions of U.K. high street chains - I had not realised that the food in Dunnes was so expensive since Covid though - the Primark in the Trafford Centre is terrible but Dunnes in Stephen’s Green and Blanchardstown is fantastic
Dunnes are no 1 lately thanks to a money back offer 10 euro off 50 etc
Except their prices are higher than Tesco to begin with 😂
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).
Oh ok, i got the impression that supervalu was cheaper
I used to work in Superquinn for 13 years before it was sold to Musgrave (T/A SuperValu) - I’m not really a fan of SuperValu as the stores are very cramped, unlike Tesco where I worked for 17 years
Ireland has always had a high quality, high price food policy unlike the UK which has a cheap nasty food policy as most Brits are poor earners compared to Irish people.
I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. We have food for all budgets and tastes in the Uk 🇬🇧. If you bother to read the packaging, you’ll find that more than half your food is manufactured in the UK.
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.
It works ok in Germany because the machines are everywhere to get the refunds
There’s no return on bottles, most cans are accepted in fairness. They have to be by law by a certain date.
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.
It’s in the Ilac, not that upmarket. The one in Stephen’s green centre is proper upmarket.
Basic food prices are the same price in all the supermarkets. The supermarkets have fixed the prices between themselves
It’s all one big cartel
Not correct! The prices in Lidl would be very different to Supervalue but so would the quantity.
Butter always expensive but tasty
Jaysus, my dunnes is a kip compared to this one. This is probably Blackrock, or Foxrock, somewhere like that.
As a swede this looks pretty cheap :D Lower prices than any supermarket in Sweden that's for sure.
I haven’t been to Sweden since 2016 so I can’t compare
Irish people won't like to hear that, we love complaining and have victomhood mentality.
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.
That’s what I’d do if I were living in ROI.
N.I. Has got much more expensive in recent years. It’s no longer the real bargain it used to be. You’ll save on drink and medicines but very little else.
@@travellinglostsoul7191 same energy as Swiss people crossing the border to France, Germany or Italy for cheaper groceries.
Ireland good taste😊
I agree 😁
Prices are high in Ireland, but the salaries are so much higher than in the uk. Unlike the UK where average salaries have only risen 6per cent over the last 20 years in real terms; in Ireland wages have risen by over 25pc (OECD stats).
Cardbury chocolate has a factory in Dublin
Ah ok
A regular jar of Ballymalloe Relish went up 15c in the last week, in Tesco, from 3.45 to 3.60.
It’s annoying when certain prices just creep up out of nowhere
Definitely has a similar vibe to the new M&S Foodhall in the Trafford Centre, which is now where the Debenhams used to be. However, at those prices, I'd rather shop in a Migros in Switzerland to get higher quality Swiss products as opposed to stuff I can get cheaper in the UK. I've heard Dunnes Stores have really nice own-brand chocolate though, so that might be worth checking out.
Dunnes reminds me of Waitrose in a lot of ways. But most of the stuff in there (and in Ireland in general) is imported from the Uk but costs a lot more. I did buy some proper Irish tea though which is a lot stronger and makes really good karak chai at home
How the fk can milk be so expensive in Ireland?!
I know, I thought that having a huge dairy industry that they’d be practically giving it away
Indeed, it’s cheaper in the discounters. Lidl etc.
You think €2.09 is expensive for 2L? Really?
@@RazorMouth Yes really and especially as the country is full of milking cows.
@@anthonyferris8912
So? How many people are involved in making a litre of milk?
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
I wish I’d known, but I was only there for 3 days so
I couldn’t eat €50 of shopping in that time 😅
We’re not good at cost control in Ireland. Look at the Children’s hospital e.g.
The products from Ireland are more expensive than the imported ones because the EU pays more subsidies the farer away the produce comes from.
So that means that local produce in Ireland isn’t subsidised so the burden is on the Irish to pay full price?
This is a ridiculous statement and has no truth to it whatsoever. What nonsense! It’s something like Trump would say.
Dunne’s is probably the best, price + quality. Their own line products are usually top notch. They are also the longest in the Irish market.
I agree with you. I felt like it was similar to Waitrose in the Uk which has very high quality products
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.
In one way you have a point but were we put on earth just to survive and that’s it
Agreed, what decade are you in? 1950s? Rationing and throw fasting for your sins in too! 😂😂😂😂
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.
€5 off €25 -€10 off €50 .
@@seannolan8615Thanks Sean my wife does the shopping andhave been shopping there nearly 50 years.
Worked there 35 years ago same price as uk. The euro screwed it up.
The euro is the gift that keeps on giving 😅
inflation in the UK has been crazy nowadays but prices are still not as high as ireland
It’s nothing to do with the euro. Nothing.
This is about the most stupid comment I’ve read since Brexit passed into being.
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.
I know right.
These prices are pretty high, but not as bad as Uruguay 😢
You should see how bad it is in luxembourg 😅
Sorry but saying coffee is about “3 quid in the UK” is just wrong. Firstly different currency and secondly different product. There’s very little change they’re the same coffee
Why is it wrong? I’m stating from my perspective.
Yeah and I live in the UK and it’s more like £4.50 than 3 pounds, for anything of quality.
@@johnfinbarr1160 it’s £4.50 for anything branded. Whether it’s of quality is a whole other question. You can get a very decent latte in one of the many Portuguese cafes around London for around £2.50
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 😡
Must be taxes I guess
Food in Ireland is of a much higher Quality than the UK …. Prices are comparable…
Some of the food is higher quality but most of it is actually produced in the uk
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
That’s so true, but cash is being discouraged and phased out
Spear for yourself,I’m a cash man.
Its not called Rip Off Republic for nothing.
Yea, felt almost on par with Switzerland
@@travellinglostsoul7191Try the prices in central London!
@@johnmc3862actually the grocery prices in normal chain shops are about the same regardless of location
Rip of Republic tax tax tax
The Uk is the same
A rip off hole like temple bar 10 euro for pint Guinness too.
Why would you drink there, that’s for tourists.
Agreed
Dunnes is no way near as expensive or as good as Marks and Spencer.
That’s your opinion
Brexit affected the price of a lot of the stuff we used get from England.
It’s a shame in fact, we should have never left the EU. It’s one of the stupidest moves the Uk has ever made
@@travellinglostsoul7191 Its what America wanted, maybe.
But you have the whole EU to import from . I thought everything was supposed to be dirt cheap in the EU.?
@@happybrit8585 Ireland and England have been big trading partners for years, i'm talking about the price of biscuits, chocolates, magazines and that type of stuff.
I've no intention of going back to Dublin it's a complete rip off, they only want the rich tourists anyway so they won't miss me.
I myself would not buy any of the bread as it was not wrapped .
I got no issues with that, I lived in west Africa where the bread was kept on dusty shelves
Germs are good for you 😂😂
That okay, it will survive. 😂
Wow. So good fresh bread has to be wrapped. Just put it in a bag that are provided when you buy it. Germs are everywhere and pre wrapped bread is rubbish.
As if things and food in the united kingdom arent expensive??????🙄
I’m comparing the prices pound for pound. Cost of groceries in Dublin is also 60 percent more than in London. Maybe the wages in Ireland are higher though
I dont see anyrhing wrong with any of these prices they all seen normal to me
Sometimes you gotta look at things from outside the cage
Why are the British only interested in cheap food ------ probably because salaries are lower
Having the ability to eat within your price range is a universal thing. I could afford whatever is there quite comfortably, but I’d rather keep the money in my pocket wherever I can for other things.
Your talking about ireland being expensive when a lot of people in the united kingdom depend on food banks🙄
It’s not a contest in who is poor or rich, it’s purely my observation
Even much more families depend on food banks and charity in Ireland to get something to eat everyday
If your rich in Ireland things are fabulous yet if your working or homeless things are terribly unfair and wrong
These people are living in a cashless society for years and years because they have none they depend on Charity
@lizdoyle7158 not as much as in the united kingdom
@lizdoyle7158 the united kingdom is poverty stricken dirt poor☹
@@gerarddeegan1164 the whole of the British isles is that way.
The don’t call it RIP OFF Ireland for nothin
