Price Watch 2

Further to my first such post, here is a list of further price observations:

1. The cinema is about half the price here as it is at home. The movies are very popular here, mainly because it's not much more than renting a DVD. As a result, there are very few DVD rental outlets here.
2. Music CDs can be got pretty cheaply for anyone who still buys them!
3. Movie/TV series DVDs are cheaper to buy.
4. I forgot the obvious the last time. Rice is practically given away out here!
5. Vitamins and other dietary supplements seem to be very expensive here. This needs further research to confirm though!
6. Books are about the same price, being slightly more expensive if anything.
7. Cards (birthday etc.) seem to be pretty expensive out here.
8. PCs/Laptops appear to be a little cheaper here.
9. The standard variable mortgage interest rate here is about 2.5%. I believe this is less than what is available in Ireland now!
10. Not that this affects me much, but alcohol is expensive out here!
