    Need to buy like 10-20kg, checked out some Indian/Chinese shops in the area (Dublin 6) but its still like €1.50 / kg. Any cheaper place (all Dublin)?

    Sorry if that's not the best place to ask.

    What kind of rice? Its like asking the price of a litre of oil.
    Sushi, Basmati, Long grain, short grain, Pudding, Arborio?
    To be fair 1.50/kg isn't bad for decent rice and if you buy a 10-20kg sack they are usually cheaper than buying smaller bags.
    Try the bigger Asian supermarkets like Georges st.

    Sorry for being not specific, I need any rice (cheap). Do not need fancy one, just wonder if there is any advantage to buy 20kg over 1kg packs from Lidl/Aldi/Tesco?


    Georges st. - do you mean Asia Market?

    I know them and they are quite cheap for such location. I expected to be some cheaper shops in North Dublin.

    Try the shop in the Islamic Cultural Center in Clonskeagh.

    they lhave a number of different types and qualites of rice in large bags,
    at much better value than the supermarkets./

    there is a chinese supermarket at the luas stop accross from the jervis luas stop. I don't know the prices but i had a peep in and saw that they had huge bags of rice! Prob 8 or 10 kg! I'm sure if you're buying it at that amount it has to be cheaper!

    Both Lidl and Tesco sell rice at €1.19 per kilo. The Lidl rice is much better though.
