Household items request

Hi

I am moving into an apartment soon in Dublin and I need to buy a lot of items for the apartment such as kettle, toaster, iron, bed sheets, duvets, pillows, dishes, cutlery etc

I would appreciate it greatly if anyone can recommend stores will good prices for such items or even particular bargains that are available at the moment.

I know there is an Ikea in Dublin which is good for furniture but would like to know what other places people would recommend for such items.

Thanks in advance

Save yourself too much hassle and stick with Ikea and Dunnes (preference would be Dunnes - supporting Irish etc. )- can't imagine you'll find much better elsewhere.

You can pickup some really good stuff in the second hand shops, I did this and was very surprised at what I was able to pickup for next to nothing, it was all designer stuff also.. only thing is you need to be working or living close as the good stuff usually goes very quickly, so you need to be making regular trips.

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

Does anyone know of any websites where I can get items at good prices. I'm looking for general items such as, kettle, toaster, cutlery etc.

Thanks

Amazon.co.uk have a huge selection and normally pretty good on price. Have decent sales every so often. You can compare with he likes of did, arnotts and currys sites

Keep an eye on Freecycle as well, and Dublin Council recycling - someone there has a set of 4 plates, side plates and bowls going at the moment.

the bargain basement in Arnotts is good for that stuff and there is an Arnotts bargain shop on Abbey st beside it as well
if you need white goods then powercity and haggle with them if you are getting a load of items

This kettle (Link) was €35 in currys lately and the matching toaster was also half price. Had either a 2 slice one, or the bigger 4 slice design. The 2 slice was €35, think the four slice was €40, if thats any use to you.
