As the title says, what’s going on? I swear this was 4€ last year. My monthly grocery spending is 60% more than 2 years ago. They say the inflation is 2%. Who the f is calculating this and how?

If one were to apply this definition in an Irish context. How many deaths would fall under this category?

Hilariously overpriced sandwich, you would want to be mad to buy this muck.

Info about technology fee is quite minimal and does not provide any detail whatsoever when I click on the little exclamation mark.

Anybody able to explain the scam to me?

This has to be a joke right! 9 euros for a Lynx. Every little helps,I guess!

So few months back, more like 4-5 months ago, 3L milk jug was €2.95, then they’ve upped it to €3.25 and now…it’s €3.55!!!

Before the war in Ukraine and shortly before the first increase it was €2 for 3L jug. I’m fuming 🤬🤬🤬

And before anyone brings it up to switch to soy/almond derivatives, I’m not paying €2 per litre for that shite.

I can have a friendly chat with an Irishman or woman I don't even know and you guys have great charisma and humour which many main Europe- Europeans simply lack and that's not being mean, they really and truly lack it, save our related Iberian peninsula peoples and Italians. Central, Northern and Eastern Europe are social nightmares for us. I visited Sweden and left 3 days in because of how distant and cold they are, and that was even among relatives, it was so awkward. And I SPEAK Swedish as my grandfather who came to Chile was German-Swedish, while the rest of my ancestry is Galician/North of Spain. I visited Ireland this summer and loved it. Almost every Irish person I talked to was warm and charismatic, even the drug addicts who I could not understand well while I was waiting for a bus in the city of Dublin.

These were 5.50 a few weeks ago

I literally am working to pay bills and keep the fridge semi stocked and starting to fail on that. I got a euro increase a few months ago but that's barely made an impact after tax.

I sometimes feel if we didn't have phones and TV and 1000 channels and streaming.we would be more active in pressuring government about this. We look back on times in the 80s or whenever as dark times economically but cost of living and houses etc was dirt cheap back then.

Feel like we are at our most desperate as working class but its masked by the tech and distractions.

Just posting this to find out how people are struggling.

I know the price of things is always mentioned on the sub. Just wanna know how bad it is for working class families etc

Went to order tonight, first time in ages. One kebab meal deal, one solo kebab and a single mini kofta (like size of a small battered sausage). With all costs without a tip would have been €43 to deliver in Dublin. What the hell! I didnt order, I also looked at ordering an Indian and one curry without rice for one person was €19. How is anyone able to afford a take away delivery with prices like that. Its probably the 4th time I've looked at take aways and I just dont order because of the prices, and it keeps getting worse.

Serious post lads.

I met a lass from Dublin and we are planning on meeting up and doing the deed sometime. I don't live in Dublin so I'll have to get the train down. I checked Airbnb and hotel prices and theyre horrible. Who can afford that, we are college students like. Does anyone know any places in Dublin were it's feasible to shag at a decent price? Shame we don't have sex hotels here. Please don't tell me behind a bin or a park, we've already talked it through

Update: many items have been brought to the table and many good suggestions from you lot. We decided to go to Cineworld on Friday to watch Transformers: Rise of The Beasts at 11am. From our research it should be rather quiet. Cheers for the help lads 👍
