    Currently a bit bored with the local supermarket and was wondering if anyone has one they can recommend, say within 5 Km of the city center ?

    Nolans in Clontarf is great imo. Lots of local suppliers and good value offers. Are you Northside or Southside?

    There's a new Tesco on the Navan Road (open less than a year). I live in Blanch but do almost all my shopping in the Navan Road branch , it's a way more pleasant experience.

    Does this imply that you were once interested in a supermarket? :eek: That's like saying that you were once interested in the inside of your wheelie bin! :eek:

    Get a grip on yourself man!

    Was just about to suggest Nolan's in Clontarf. Always pick up something new and unusual and they stock lots of Irish food products (breads, sausages, sauces, cheeses etc...)

    +1 on Nolan's and I find Supervalu in Killester to far outdo other Supervalu shops in the area.

    I should rephrase that as, my local supermarket is offering fare in which my interest has been steadily diminishing. As for wheelie bins, the only good one is an empty one. Grip restored ;)

    Nolans looks good. Might check out Superquinn in Ranelagh too. My sister swears by Superquinn. The local is Tescos, and selection of food aside, am not sure if they are worth supporting or not.

    They are a good local employer though. But I hear they squeeze their suppliers and routinely cancel contracts for the sake of product rotation - bit annoying when you find something you like and then it just vanishes for months.

    Superquinn blanch is very good at times. If you can ignore the fact its like something out of 1980s American film. Their prices has gotten very competitive in recent years and their meat is fair better and cheaper than anywhere else( they apparently have the same meat supplier as aldi). Plus their silian or yellow chickens are amazing.

    Lidls own brand is better than most branded stuff through. Plus most of Aldis own brand things that are fresh are Irish sourced

    Mortons on Dunville Avenue in Ranelagh is a change from the usual, mind you your pocket will notice the difference.

    Not a supermarket, but very good fruit and veg shop on North Strand - she will order in all sorts of things on request, but already stocks quite an array of the less common fruits and vegetables.

    Ranelagh is a smaller store. Superquinn in Balinteer is much better.
