Not really seen any value in shopping on holiday. Never have anything I want at what could be classed as a saving.

The first thing i do is find the nearest Walgreen's and go crazy buying all the products you cant get here in Ireland and stocking up on everything that is a lot cheaper. the phrase kid in candy store comes to mind :lol: :lol:
sometimes i wonder if the Americans realise hoe lucky they are
Out of curiosity... what is it that you can't get in Ireland thats so much cheaper here that would make you leave Disney World for Walgreens!? :wave:

Either way - old fashioned spelling still applies.
Don't correct if you haven't researched...

Thanks for coming to my aid
oh, you must! Im in Jacksonville. Here, all of the Dunkin's are going out of business but the KKs are going strong! They've been around forever and you can watch them make the doughnuts! Kids love it! They do a different style doughnut. DD tend to do "cake" doughnuts. KKs are yeast. The icing is just to die for! They melt on your tongue! lol. You could almost eat a dozen by yourself without even realizing it cause they are so good. LMAO!:ROFLOL:And they do awesome specialty doughnuts for different holidays. They are overseas, too!
And now I'm seriously thinking of driving 23miles to get some

£48 a bottle here from the one company that imports it, I believe Walgreens are selling it for around $25.

Pretty much everything is cheaper, i like to stock up on make-up, Sally Hansen products etc, oh and i get these sweets called Mike Ike's (i think) and hershey chocolate.
i also make sure i get products from the pharmacy (tylenol etc) as there 3 times the price back home.
i hope no-one from customs read this though or I'm sure ill be in for thorough bag searches when i land next time

Wow....It's one thing to be mistaken. It's another to insist on being wrong and rude after being shown the answer.

Good to know... I'm seriously considering studying abroad in Dublin before I graduate. Guess I'll have to stock up before I leave! :ROFLOL:

OH NO.... DONT DO IT :ROFLOL:
as much as i adore Dublin and its where my soul is, America/Florida (Disney World specifically) is where my heart is, i don't know why anyone would want to leave the states to live here. Besides coming here for a holiday when you know you can go home.
On another note EVERYTHING is so so so so much more expensive here. It costs alot to live in Dublin (as pretty as she is)

My DD is curently attending Queens University in Belfast (almost done!) and I've spent a small fortune shipping Reese's Peanutbutter Cups and chocolate-covered pretzels across the ocean. Incidently, I was over there in April and spent a day in Dublin - very beautiful city, but you're right, things are more expensive. We did a drugstore run before I left to stock her up on enough toiletries to get her thru the semester and I thought I was going to have to take out a 2nd mortgage!Good to know...

We always travel to Disneyworld with 4 bags for five of us. We pack 3 empty bags in our luggage and travel back with 7 large bags. We shop till we drop in Orlando. To us the shops are just another theme park!!!

If I could live at WDW for 3 or 6 months, I totally would too, lol. But my school wouldn't give me credit for that (not even for the College Program
). Is it just Dublin that's so expensive, or is it all of Ireland/Europe? I'm still deciding between Ireland and a few other cities, some in Europe (I've made my peace with the values of the dollar/Euro long ago ).Yikes, that's not good! Regardless of where I end up going, I guess it's probably a good idea to get a good supply of stuff before I go...
Thanks for the advice!
