prices here were already pretty high, but yes it’s noticable in particular that British grocery prices seem to have at least equalized, if not surpassed Irish ones. That’s not something I can ever remember happening in my lifetime. The tail end of inflation seems to have been shorter in the Republic, and maybe the competing chains just ate some of their “Ireland margin” (gouging).

I seen a TikTok this morning, a Canadian couple comparing the price in Ireland to Canada
Just for all the “Im moving to Canada people”
Anyway it was over 100 dollers for about 30 ero worth of food
Only thing same price from recollection was chewing gum

Hungary and Romania are in the Ireland position around the start of Celtic Tiger
You have all the large major IT companies opening offices and SOC etc in these countries because they have low cost and highly educated population.

Can anyone tell me how heavily weighted are the most common items in my “Basket of Goods”, namely Rent, pints of Guinness and scampi fries?

An average grocery shop in NI, in exception of off sales, everything is atleast the same price of not more for some items adjusted for the conversation rate. I’ve been a cross border worker for 20 years and I’ve seen ups and downs for both sides but the norths roads and health is in shite. The Republic is booming and you can see it in almost every facet of life.
Am no FFG fan but there is no doubt they are competent.

Low inflation in Ireland means you can afford steak, but can’t afford a home to cook it in.

Based on Tesco chicken Kiev’s it was 100%

Isn’t 2% inflation the target? Hopefully that’s a sign of intrest rate cuts

Yea, because everything is so expensive that nobody can afford to buy anything and wages had not matched inflation over the last couple of decades. Cost of living is still amongst the worst in Europe.

That’s because prices are already at saturation point.

Regarding what people say, with some Ireland housing crisis and etc, still it’s one of the best and safe countries to live in.

But you need 100k in the bank for a mortgage. Go go gadget false economy.
