I love Superquinn but I have to be really careful or else I spend a fortune so I usually only go in for some cheese and chicken sausages! However I did feel they were being a bit misleading with the cheese the last time I was there. They had the most gorgeous cheese cut up for tasting and all around it they had smaller blocks ready for buying with ‘special offer’ written on it. When I got home the cheese I’d bought was the worst thing I’d ever tasted, nothing like the cheese on the tasting plate so I was a bit miffed.
I love Superquinn, but I think it depends on the branch– I think the Blackrock store, for example, is much more expensive than the nearby Dunnes or Tesco… excepting the special offers, the price of staples (like tins of tomatoes, pasta, coffee/tea, rice, fruit & veg, etc) is sooo much more, since selection is very limited. We wind up doing a big ‘regular’ shop at one of the other supermarkets, and only going to S’Quinn for their special offers and for meat/fish/dairy, which is a pity since I’d prefer to do shopping all in one place.

they have a fantastic cheese range. And if you choose wisely, and avail of their special offers, they are not more expensive than Dunnes or Tesco.
