It’s pure nuts the way the government never done nothing to even try and stall price rises for food etc….just left everyone get poorer,
A bag of grated cheese 250g = €2.09
A block of cheese 400g = €2.27
Where is this €4.60 bag of cheese and why are you buying bags anyway?
I think for sure cost of living in Ireland is horrible but idk how ye’s are spending so much on food. I have a very, very good diet and my budget for two people per week is 60 euro, and that includes all the other non food groceries too. Literally just meal plan. I eat like 2 steaks a week and confit duck most weeks and it’s still only 60 euro. Actually confused. My parents spend waaaaay more on food and I equally don’t understand how/why
Varadkar isn’t even Taoiseach anymore and they’re still making memes of him.
Real incomes in Ireland have generally been on a significant upward trend over the past several decades. In 2023, the CSO reckons we had fallen back to 2019 levels, but expect to grow in real terms again in 2024. Not bad for a country that went through a giant recession a little over a decade ago, and a global inflation shock of a like not seen since the 1970s.
