    I started a thread looking for HEALTHY, CHEAP recipes suggestions. Hopefully there will be some good suggestions.

    Are there any price comparison website or apps for groceries?

    The only one I know of is Smart Shopper but I think you need to pay a subscription to access it

    Excellent thread - I'm addicted to blogs about budgeting and I've built up a few savings over the past year by taking e150 out of my account once a week and making it last until my next 'payday'.
    Always thought boards.ie should have a forum dedicated to Irish frugal living.
    As much as I *love* blogs such as Mr Money Mustache, Early Retirement Extreme, etc, they focus on US issues. So MMM recommends driving cars into the ground rather than ponying up for a 2yo car every 4 years, say. But does that policy make sense here in Ireland where we have the NCT?
    Oh, dear - sorry for the long rant. Imma take it to the Suggestions Page...
