This isn't a green so much as just a money saving tip, and only really suitable if you live near Bray in Wicklow.

There's a new "discount" store opened called www.cheepcheep.ie The deal seems to be, order on line and then pick up in x days.

I haven't used it yet. I wouldn't see it as an option for a weekly or even monthly shop. They have a limited range, but they do have main brands at reduced prices. I can see myself stocking up on toiletries/dried goods say every 6 months.

Certain things work out far cheaper, e.g. special on can's of diet coke - 30 for 8:89 (30 cent each), versus Tesco's 12 pack for 6:69 (56 cent each). I just took this as an example.

A green/healthier example would be Bunalun Organic Fusili 500g - 1.07, or by two for 1.98 in cheepcheep versus 1.53 in Tesco's.

I compared a few things, all came in around a 25 - 30% cheaper. Though some brands I didn't recognise.

Note - Saw it advertised on www.cheapeats.ie which is another fun one, they list out all of the deals of the week for the different supermarkets amongst other stuff.
