This haul was under €45 in Lidl. Insane value for healthy, non subsistence food, cheaper than a lot of countries where €1500 a month is a professional salary. Only thing that keeps living here vaguely affordable.

Must try some peppers for the salad.
What kind of things do you plan on making?
I’ll tell ya our shopping for a family of 7 (4 Humans & 3 Dogs) has gone from around 250ish a month to over 400 since before COVID & that’s in Lidl and Aldi.
I’d be a millionaire if my kids weren’t such picky eaters…
Ireland does a lot more right than just one thing. But the groceries are great.
Ah the messages
Live in Canada and did groceries today. Didn’t get much more than this and it cost more than $400. Ireland is great value for the shopping
It’s not Ireland lol, it’s Lidl. Thank the Germans.
That coffee is tasty too, i think its like €3 for plenty of pods…. Goes to show also you can do sort of healthy for relatively cheap……. If you had the time try to make your own pasta, the 0,0 flour is cheap enough these days….Just flour and eggs and you good…
Thank fuck for Lidl/Aldi… and sometimes dunnes
That halloumi is banging in fairness. And waaay cheaper than any of the alternatives.
Lidl is actually class. Lucky enough to live right across the road from quite a decently sized one. We can get everything there
Four jams, Jeremy? Four? That’s insane.
Would that do you for the week?
Would you share a few of the meals that’s you’d make?
Lidl has the cheapest tofu out there. By far. I love it.
Udon noodles are the biz
4 jams and no bread. You just eat it with a scoop? 😆 quality haul. Vegetarian and cooking mostly from scratch definitely helps you I’d say
Thanks for the actually positive post on here OP
true that, I live in NZ and its robbery the prices of groceries here
Completely irrelevant, but why is there ‘Galaxy A52s 5G’ on the bottom of the picture.
Seems like a horrible feature for a phone to automatically stamp pictures visibly and if it’s done manually.. why?
But yes, food for a vegetarian is a lot cheaper. Ireland however aint that cheap compared to other countries. I should make more pasta’s and smoothies.
Those pine nuts can’t be cheap, can they?
No potatoes?!
People are saying it’s just Lidl/Aldi but I’m living in Toronto the last 7 years. I put together a table recently of our groceries here vs prices at home. I used Tesco there and Sobey’s and Metro here.
It all adds up and Tesco ended up loads cheaper per shop
Just bought milk, asparagus, yogurt, soy sauce, and butter for $48 🎉
I know a vegetarian when i see one!
That looks like rabbit food, id be starving
Jesus that’s an awful shop. Have ye enough noodles?
I completely agree with the sentiment though the discount retailers are exceptional.
Can’t beat Lidl in Spain. Their alcohol prices are unbelievable.
this is easily $200 in the US for the equivalent and maybe even lower quality goods
I’m here visiting my wife’s cousin for a couple of weeks and I find the groceries to be very expensive for the quality and I was very surprised as Ireland is an EU country unlike England, it’s still much better than England but not comparable to other EU countries where I’ve seen groceries like Austria, Slovakia, Germany, Italy to name a few.
Would love to see how much the same would cost in Lidl in Germany.
€45 might be fair for that haul, but I always feel like we’re getting shafted when I see prices over there.
