This is something that has always baffled me. How is it legal for shops to increase their prices so much over here?
What I mean by this is, a store in the UK charges £70 for a particular item, factor in the currency conversion the item should be €78 in the Irish store, say €80 to factor in fluctuations in exchange rates, but this item is actually €115 in the Irish branch of this store.
Can someone please explain this to me? It's not a general thing either because there is another UK store with Irish branches who charge exactly what the currency conversion dictates, ie £70 item will be €78 in the Irish branch.
I don't want to name any shops here but I'd say without a doubt frequent female shoppers will have an idea of what shop I'm referring to.
This is the reason why I now do the majority of my shopping online because even after I factor in delivery costs it's still cheaper by a mile to buy online.
