Shopping in the North - up to 1/2 price

MDTyKe · 2008-05-22 18:28:45

Interesting article on RTE this morning about shopping between Dundalk and the North. Some things, especially baby goods, were less than half price on the Northern side of the border compared to the South. http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/0522/news1pm_av.html?2377626,null,209

I reckon the savings are far more than 50%. I have been there twice in the last month, and the savings are colosall

I can guarantee that if low income families shop there, they will never shop in Ireland for a long time after. Paracetamol tablets from Asda 15 cent...yes 15 cent, liter of coca cola 1 euro, pringles 80 cent.

Social welfare recipeints will stretch their income at least 50% and up to 85% further. We did. There is an answer to rip off Ireland.

Go and see for yourself........full irish breakfast ( northern:D) 3.20 euro.
