How much do groceries cost in Ireland?

I know it seems silly to ask.. but I've googled already and I can't find out how much things like bread, cheese, canned soup, fruit, vegetables, and snacks are in Ireland, I want to go on a vacation in a year or two and was just trying to think up ways to save some money. Also, how much is a dinner at a pub? Euro or USD, doesn't matter, just make sure you mark it accordingly so I can convert it! Thanks so much!

Try getting prices on the big supermarket websites: Dunne's, Tesco's and Lidl.

I can give you the prices for Northern Ireland (as I live there). I can't give you the prices for the republic but they'll be more expensive.

Bread: 70p - £1.50 (loaf)
Cheese: £1.50 - £2.50 (Cheddar, 200g)
Baxter's soup: £1.00
Apples: 4/5 = £1
large oranges 7/8 = £1
Carrots: 1kg = 80p
Broccoli: 70p =big piece
Onion: 15p
Pepper: 60p
Pack of Rich tea biscuits: 80p
Jaffa Cakes: box = 60p
packet of crisps: 30p
Good Chocolate: 200gs £1

As for dinner in a pub it depends on the pub but I'd say the average is close to a tenner.

Prices are in Sterling.

This is a handy site

But again it will only cover N.Ireland

I was in Dublin for a couple of days last week and I found small grocery-like stores all with the same name (similar to 7 elevens) and they offered the basic stuff but prices were of course high (i.e 3 euros for a pastry), I assume that there should be regular grocery stores around but I never saw anything besides those that I mentioned.

As for pubs based on what I saw, I’ll say 13-15 euro is a reasonably cheap/standard price range for a basic dinner meal not including beverage except water, I’ll say that a cheap dinner would be about 8 Euros but I never found a ~good~ option at that price except a crepe place.


WeenerMan
Small stores like the ones you quote cannot compete with the larger stores in terms of price and the amount of produce they stock. Try the larger stores and markets who tend to have cheaper prices because they have more buying power so can pass on reductions to their customers.
