Right, we’re off drinking and eating, and will be too busy eating and drinking to update this blog much between now and New Year – though we might put up the odd post if it takes our fancy. Thanks to our lovely readers, friends, supporters, Cake Sale helpers and anyone who has advertised on the [...]

A big, big thank you to everyone who helped out with our Cake Sale and everyone who came along to buy cake.  We had a delightful afternoon, there was SO MUCH delicious cake, and we raised over €300 for Barnardos and their crucial work with vulnerable children in Ireland. Some of the things we got [...]

It seems like only yesterday when Jean came up with the idea for a food blog, and asked me to join her in this Cheapeats endeavour. “What’s a blog?” I asked. Almost three years later, I think I’ve figured it out. Two thousands posts of shocking Tesco exposes, cheap recipe ideas, restaurant and supermarket bargains, [...]

Today’s Pricewatch in The Irish Times features a comprehensive article on Ireland’s best cheap eats, with recommendations on the best deals in Dublin, Galway, Cork, Limerick, and Athlone.

No, not really…  But we are taking a few days off this week due to other commitments. Posts may be sparse, at best, for a while to come. We really enjoy running this site and hope to resume normal business shortly. In the meantime… Click here for SuperValu specials Click here for Tesco specials Click [...]

Sadly this my last post – boo! I have recently taken on a full-time job on top of my usual art conservation and freelance writing so my work load is full to capacity which means that I can no longer contribute to this awesome site – sniff sniff! It’s a sad ol’ affair because I [...]

The latest RTE Guide has a full page feature on the work we do here at CheapEats. You can check out myself and Jean’s ugly mugs on page 35. The article is part of an online shopping special; you’ll also find information on sites such as Babybay.ie and Cupcakeme.org, as well as the RTE Guide’s [...]

The website Irish Media Watch has named us as their blog of the week, and the write-up they’ve given us is so lovely that we’re still blushing.  Thanks, chaps!  Check it out here.
