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.

  1. 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.

    Ireland does a lot more right than just one thing. But the groceries are great.

    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

  4. 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…

    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

  7. Would that do you for the week?
    Would you share a few of the meals that’s you’d make?

    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

  9. 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?

  10. 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

  11. Jesus that’s an awful shop. Have ye enough noodles?

    I completely agree with the sentiment though the discount retailers are exceptional.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.
