Just back from Sainsburys in Sprucefield.
Bottle of Wolf Blass Yellow label £7.99 stg = E11.82
Same bottle in Tesco Dublin E12.99
500 mls draft Guinness (multipack) £1 stg = E1.48
Tesco Dublin = E1.72
Bottle of Jameson 700cc £12.99 stg = E19.22
Tesco Dublin= E24
Bushmills 10 yr old malt = £17.99 = E26.62 (this was a special offer and was £5 cheaper than their usual price)
BTW the Laser card wouldn't work. According to the girl on the checkout they don't accept laser. Master Card - no problem.
Given the time involved in travelling from Dublin and the amount of petrol consumed it's back to Tesco next year for me.
One thing that surprised me was the quality of the roads. 30 years ago people used to complain about the standard of roads in the South and praise the ones in the north. After leaving Sprucefield, we hit well over 6 roundabouts and the roads wern't great, before getting back into the South. We took a wrong turning at two of them. Once on the M1 on the South, the next stop is the toll bridge and the next stop after that was pulling off the Motorway at the M50.
