    Some good bargains on groceries etc now at Amazon - they have been selling groceries for a good while but only started delivery here this week.

    Mainly bulk buy stuff like boxes of crisps, 24 pack of water, pet food , nappies.
    As usual - make sure seller is Amazon to guarantee delivery here.

    Thanks OP, this is a great resource for American foods that are hard to get in Ireland.

    Excellent. Some good offers on dog food which I wasn't able to order before. I'd say this is not going to last long a la "the tvs over 32" scenario" so going to put in an order soon. Thanks OP:)

    Jesus H Christ. This is perverted. I am far from a Greenie but even I have to rail against the notion of everyday groceries being transported from Scotland for home delivery to a house in Ireland. How much energy is being used to affect this delivery?

    Fantastic news!

    Some of their bulk offers can be great.

    Plus they've a lot of hard-to-come-by items.

    But that comes in bulk containers which is more efficient. Whereas even with some of these items you are still going to do a shop for fresh items in your local supermarkets. However, I would not criticise people for bullk ordering the likes of nappies etc.

    Did the shopping experience leave a sour taste in your mouth?

    If you think that transport is the only environmental impact associated with buying any product you could do with reading this.

    http://www.englishtap.com/etlw/read/environment/foodmiles.htm

    Ordering something from the internet to be delivered to your home by an post may even be environmentally friendly compared with the alternative you driving to the shop to buy it.

    You are asking us to think twice before buying something from aboard. Should people in other countries think about buying things from their own country instead of buying things from Ireland? If everyone was to think like that Ireland would have to grow its own bananas and oranges and make its own cars and tvs.

    no savings on pet food.

    Whiskas 4x12 pouch on special at £14. (about €16)
    Local Tesco = 2 x 12 pouch €7
    Local Dunnes = 24 pack €7
    Local Spar = 3.99 for 12 pack

    All 3 cheaper than amazon

    Her cats are fussy and don't eat felix:p, but if they did, it was 2 x 12 packs for 6.50 in tesco last week, works out identical.

    Basically, keeping an eye on local offers in tesco / dunnes / supervalu / eurospar and buy in the same bulk when they are on should see you through most of the year. - When did anyone pay full price for washing powder, toothpaste, deo sprays, hand soap, pet food etc etc - there's always one brand or other on offer and in most cases thay all do the same job.
