Do the shops in Ireland have the same priced things as uk expect in euros?

Question

things like clothes, mcdonalds, debenhams, topshop etc

Answer 1

It depends on the shop.  Boots tend to price the same in UK and Eire.  McDonalds in Eire has a "euro saver" menu and a "pound-saver " menu in the UK (and they have similar items).  Some shops do have a noticeable difference in price, mainly clothing stores do this.  I used to buy clothes in Northern Ireland when I was in Dublin because they were cheaper.  Plus, the UK has shops like Woolworth's and Asda which are cheaper for books, toiletries, CDs, snacks, baby stuff, etc.  (they didn't have those shopsin Dublin).

Answer 2

My "Markies " &   "Chewy  Lewies" are dogwell more expensive..in Ireland .

Answer 3

No countries (none that I know of anyway!) have the same prices except in a different currency. Cost of living & economies will vary greatly between most countries.

Also, remember the exchange rate between the euro & sterling changes every day; it’s not like every day the stores change all their prices to correspond to the current exchange rate of the day! It is not like there is a set conversion factor between euro & sterling.

For the currencies that existed pre euro there was a fixed exchange rate for a few years prior to euro introduction but as the UK is not part of euroland sterling was never set at a defined exchange rate to the euro.

BTW, did you know it is always euro & never euros? Kind of like sheep & sheeps! :-)

Answer 4

No, the unfortunately, all the companies seemed to use the change over as an excuse to put up prices - it works out cheaper to buy in the UK.

Answer 5

No euros is more expensive.

Answer 6

Yes like Courtney B said, It depends on the shops like the chain dunnes stores and primark say you were looking at a t-shirt the price would be laid out like this.

£10.00

€ 15.00



I Think mc donalds, Debenhams and topshop only show prices in the local currency.
