What types of items are better value in ireland than in the US?

Question

Im heading to Ireland this summer and I want to do a bit of shopping. I know that the exchange rate is bad between the dollar and euro, but are there any items that are better value in Ireland? (ie: high street, jewelery. perfume, jeans, etc) Thanks!!

Answer 1

At present, nothing, because of the state of the Dollar. Organic food can be cheaper, as can 2nd-hand cars(believe it or not). Health Insurance is another one (way cheaper). Donkey's, beatings and Mental Hospitals are alot cheaper here as well. As for stuff to take back from Holidays, highly unlikely.  I have noticed all the high-end products are much cheaper in USA...check out this site for insider info...

Answer 2

Honestly, I wouldn't imagine very much would be cheaper, especially with how weak the dollar is at the moment. Everything in Ireland is pretty expensive, all the things you mention are almost certainly more expensive here than in the US.

Answer 3

Don't think there will be any unfortunatly
