 As a new student coming into the country, you will need to know where, what, when, and how to shop in Ireland. Ireland has a different system than you are used to so we must guide you through your first few days in this beautiful shamrock country. 

We have divided this segment based on what you can shop for to make it easier for you. As English is an official language in Ireland, international students with knowledge of the language will have no difficulty at all navigating through the first few days of their time in the country.

Where to shop for Food?

Food items and groceries are essentials and can be bought at any of these ubiquitous shopping stores in Ireland; Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, Dunnes, Spar. They have megastores and superstores across the country and they carry a wide range of items both local and international. Aldi and Lidl are by far the student favorites as they have the best deals for foodstuff than anywhere else.

Where to buy Electronic Appliances?

We advise you to find the nearest Argos in your city as they carry some of the best variety of appliances that you can use in your daily life. There are others like Curry’s PC World and CEX which carry very important electronic appliances and accessories. They also sell second-hand products that are significantly lower but of exceptional quality.

Where to buy Clothes?

Ireland has all the major brands that you know and love like H&M, Zara, Marks & Spencer, for quality clothing items. However, if you wish to shop for more affordable clothing options there is Penny’s which you can find in every city in Ireland, the clothing is good and the prices are very affordable. TKMaxx is another brilliant store for buying for cheap, especially if you are on a budget.
