    ... is wander around the Euro Shops! I don't need anything in there but I want absolutely everything for the 5 seconds between when I first see it and when I see something even better! I spend ages just wandering around in awe!

    TUPPERWARE! THEY'VE GOT LOADS OF ****ING TUPPERWARE!!

    Ooh, a battery aisle.... right beside the FUNNELS! I need a funnel!!!


    They've got everything you need and even more stuff you don't! Best place on earth! Though I do have to have my girlfriend with me, when I go in, to be the voice of reason. "No NW, I really don't think you do need 6 mops for a tenner...."

    Amazing!

    6 mops for a tenner?! Sold :D

    They do so many cheap sweets and chocolatey things too... I love euro shops :)

    Although once I got a packet of pens that didn't work... and yes I did demand the 1euro refund :P

    Oh man I live in Canada, you would go crazy with the Dollarama! Its actually better than the €2 shop!

    I'm only in a temporary home so can't buy so much :( Wish I was setting up a home near a Dollarama

    lol, I do the same.
    The Euro Fifty store in the Ilac is good. Also, the Chinese run shop in Phibsboro.

    I need my funnel :o

    Funnels are incredibly handy for filling up hot water bottles.

    I love pottering around these shops too. And charity shops, sometimes you can pick up a great bargain. I just today bought a lovely Christmas decoration. Because it's July it was only €2, I bet it'd be a lot more in November!
