Great news really. It’s lovely to see inflation in Ireland outside of just property.
Have home owners considered eating at their parents? /s

I haven’t noticed the stuff I buy regularly increasing in price. But I don’t pay a lot of attention to it anymore I suppose. I’m glad I no longer have to think carefully about how I spend each euro. Those were tough times.

We got an inflation matching pay rise in work, first one in years…. 3%
Whilst I am always for a pay rise… It’s not quite matching….

I was back home for 2 weeks over Christmas and I was absolutely dumbfounded at how expensive the place has gotten. Between the insane prices to eat out at a restaurant and the shitty Canadian dollar we did very little socializing.

And the government told us that we ordinary people didn’t need help in the budget this year because the cost of living crisis was over, McDonalds and Supermacs needed hemp more and that we could afford for most of our pay rise to go into this new mandatory pension.

We’re at a stage where it should be illegal for retailers to put the word “only” in front of any price in their shop. Pisses me right off to see a kit kat for “only €46”

Eventually people will have to spend so much on basics that other non essential businesses will start to kick the bucket. Something is gonna give
