Not a bargain as such but just got my spiced beef in FX Buckley’s Butchers in Moore St, and was really impressed with the range of stuff they have on offer, how well stocked they are, and how helpful and nice the staff are.
+1 for FX Buckleys – I go to Moore St but more often to Talbot street – the staff are brilliant, the meat really good quality and generally very good value. Last new years eve I got a free range chicken for €10. Buying my ham there tomorrow.
Well done on the first year blogging Jean and Peter – it’s a great job. Enjoy the festivities!
Was in town one evening last week with my daughter and we were both starving. Decided to try SUPERMACS Soup/Sambo deal. Got 2 big bowls of thick, spicy tomato soup and 2 toasted ham and cheese sandwiches on thick slices of bread for 5.25e each. Really good value and very filling.
Now if I could find a blog that said when the sales are starting in Galway (especially for clothes), I would really appreciate!
Dunnes Stores website is not very helpful and Lifestyle Sports has started their sale on December 27th; apart from that, I’m in the dark. I really wish Irish retailers’ websites were a bit more professional.
Big hint for anyone who is in the know!
Sophie, from what Ive seen in Cork anyway, the sales are awful. Some shops are claiming to have a sale, but are reselling the same crap from summer with nothing from autumn winter reduced. Awear and Brown Thomas Im looking at you!

Was at Next sale yesterday, and got lovely pair of jeans for 15e instead of 30, so I was happy!
