Out in the airport on Thursday. Chicken breast in a bun with salad - only 1.99 in Wright's (Ground floor of the short-term car park).

Also...

Check out your local farmers market for cheap fruit & veg. I got 8 peppers for 2 euro in the new market up in Coolock Industrial Estate. Buy your meat and fish in bulk at a wholesale butchers and freeze it. (Put chicken fillets in bags of 1 or 2). Avoid anything labelled 'organic' as thats just an excuse to hike the prices up.

The restaurant in the new IKEA store in Ballymun are doing tea/coffee for only 1 euro. You can get three cups of tea/coffee and three muffins for 7 euro. A damn site cheaper than what you'd pay for same in an every-day cafe.

Just had a great meal with the missus today thanks to Dunnes.

4 Euro for a Pizza, Garlic Bread and a dessert: Choice of Fruit Cocktail or Strawberry Cheesecake.
Pizza is normally e3.29 and it's delicious.

It was a Lasagne instead of a pizza last week I think.

They're also doing 2 bars of Chocolate for 1 euro. Not sure which bars, go in and take a look.

Also go to Lidl/Aldi... can't remember which one for your good beers like Franziskaner. It's e2.70 in Supervalue for a bottle but only 2 euro in Lidl/Aldi.

Tesco are also selling Budvar for 2 euro, compared to about e2.65 elsewhere.

Fresh on Camden Street D2 are doing any roll or sandwich with 4 fillings, bottle of evian water and packet of king crisps (cheese and onion or salt and vinegar) for 4.50. Not bad.

Maxol petrol stations are doing chicken baguettes for 2.99 and 12 inch pizzas for 3.99 saw this in Carlow i don't know about other counties.

Still pretty expensive though when you look at the alternatives for frozen pizzas.

Was just on the Dunnes Stores website there and copied and pasted the following:

ALL FOR €7

Green Isle Mushy Peas 750g / Green Isle Skinny Cut Oven Chips 900g / Donegal Catch Breaded Haddock 450g SAVE €2.77

Bargain IMO

They give free refills, so it's as much coffee as you want for €1.

Outrageous.

I am amazed at what folks in D2 think is cheap.
Clearly have money to squander.

Try Boots or Wrights in the airport and see what 4 euro buys. The same triple decker sandwich with fresh fruit pot and a bottle of Innocent brand smoothie. A bit better value than King crisps and water !

try Tesco Blanch for the same meal for

euro or if you prefer, a large fresh prawn layered salad for 2 euro.

Keep paying these stupid prices in D2 and you keep them high for all of us.

Haven't you heard?. If its cheap, it must be ****e. If it was 3.50 for the same can, it would have to have been better than the same can for a Euro.

Rip off Ireland was a myth.

Yes they have it in Grafton Street in salubrious D2
which greatly alleviates the need for a taxi to the airport,
a jaunt into the wilds of Blanchardstown or heaven forbid a value shopping
trip to India for a sandwich
