Hate music in pubs, especially when it's blaring. Don't mind music being played in the background that is quite subtle.

3.50e each - man that's steep.

I bought one today in Edenmore and it was 2.30e

I was in town on Saturday night and they were putting the price of the pints up every hour.

It started off at 6.20e and then it was 6.50e.

There's a shop in Edenmore called Sharon's - everything is dirt cheap.

Cans of coke 1e 

I got a bag of cola bottles last week and it weighed nearly 1kg LOL - took me the guts of a week to eat it. But it all depends on who you get.

Sharon’s is that exactly. Selling ladies handbags LOL

They have the lotto sign, went in to do it, was laughed at. They had the scratch card slots on the counter empty and said they haven’t done the lottery in years. 

Milk, eggs and bread for a 5er Clap

Take my money  LOL

You can make your own booze very easily and cheaply. Might be a good way for some of you booze bags to save money? 

Plenty of youtube vids on it

One up by my, C&T's in Marino, similar stuff.

All the kids were mad into Match Attack cards, and these were doing them cheaper than anyone, realised after buying my first one they were the Scottish Premier League rather than English Premier League version
