Country’s fucked, another reason to not return to the office, couldn’t believe this “deal”.

  1. So it’s a “deal” meaning it’s somewhat cheaper to buy them together so does that coke costs €4 normally?!

  2. Since when did we start saying convenience store anyway? I’d take the trash off the sidewalk and put it in the trunk of my car while I’m at it .

    Even though its a “convenience store” that’s a mental price

  3. Saying it’s a “convenience store”, as some here have, is missing the point. You could get the same deal, or better, for about a fiver a few months back. The issue isn’t that the price is overall high, it’s the change in price that’s the problem.

  4. So I work in a shop that is becoming a Mace. At the moment for a chicken fillet roll with no salad we charge €3. The representative from Mace wants us to charge at least €4 for it. We are a rural shop.

  5. You used to be able to get a big fuck-off toasted club sandwich in the Spar on Mainguard Street in Galway for €4.00. It was the size of a small infant, swear to god.

  6. Tesco Meal Deal is still €4 at my local Tesco. Triple sandwich, 50% extra bag of Walkers, and a big can of Pepsi or Club. Great value

  7. I can make over 8 of those for tround 10€

    fresh baguette rolls from lidle for 2.35 per pack of four x2

    One large pack of Southern Fried Chicken Fillets : 2.50 for a pack of 10

    Lettuce one pack: 0.50cents

    Fresh onions 1kg : 0.80 cents

    brings the total to €8.50 for 8 fillet rolls which is far better value especially when you factor in the amount of raw ingredients youll have left over to make more, youll have 1.50 left over to purchase some drinks for euro giant at some good value , for the sauses you can add what you have at home or purchase some that can be used for a couple of weeks without running out.

  8. I got a packet of Tayto’s, A Drink and a Chicken Roll in Ennistymon for €5.00 a few weeks ago. The same thing would cost me 8 Euro in Limerick City. This country’s a mess

  9. I was going to say “Celtic tiger prices, 1980s wages” but even in the Celtic tiger years a chicken fillet roll wasn’t that dear.

  10. Used to go to this Mace petrol station shop in Kildare near Prosperous/Caragh, they had a chicken fillet roll deal was: Chicken roll /w 2 toppings, bag of C+O tayto, Can of Coke and a small chocolate bar – €3.

    The rolls were lovely as well, it was a rural shop so we used to call their phone and order in advance and they’d put fresh fillets in to be cooked for when we arrived.

    I would go down for lunches for 5 people during work and come back with a mountain of food for €15. Sadly they stopped doing about a year or two ago, they still are good value but said they were making basically nothing from that deal so couldn’t keep it going, not surprising really.

  11. Bring you own food. We waste a ton of money on store bought food. Making the same thing in home allows you do to lot of new variation and way cheaper than stores.

  12. Am I the only one worried that these prices will never come back down? I feel like a floor is being set on many items. And Ireland is just cunty enough to leave the prices there even if economic conditions improve

  13. These shops can go and get fucked especially spar I don’t care if the covid effected your millions of profit for 2 years you’re not fleecing me to get it back you greedy corporate cunts

  14. The lunch deal in tesco is still good imo. Ye can get a sandwich/wrap a bottle of water/orange/smoothie etc and a bag of crisps for about 4 euro. Add 2 bananas and yer days sorted for under 5 euro. Otherwise just make stuff at home.

  15. From future Wikipedia:

    > The “Chicken Fillet Roll Index” was a measure of economic health used by economists in pre-apocalypse Ireland. Sharp rises in chicken baguette prices were said to foretell economic collapse, a belief that was substantitated by the combined economic and ecological collapse of 2024, which followed a period of sustained fillet roll price hikes.

  16. Looks like a good deal to me. But my perception of value has been skewed since moving to California. The going price for a bog standard sandwich is $12-13 here. No drink. Oh, and don’t forget to add tax, and the obligatory 20 percent tip.

  17. Have you ordered deliveroo lately? If you just wanted a sandwich for yourself it would be about 22 quid.

    It’s fucking madness.
