I paid for my messages feeling relieved and thankful until i got to my car . As i was packing my car with my shopping a security man asked me did i pay for my messages i reacted in a shocked way after already going through hell over the wallet. I said to the security guy ive a receipt. His anwser was sorry wrong car . What a joke he was . He taught i was robbing obviously because he said did i pay for my food . He was way out of order . But again to the girl on the floor who called my name and to the elderly lady i thank very much . Security guy omg you were wrong .

This is a pretty big Dunnes and so has most of the grocery things you'd expect. The homeware…read moresection in the front of the shop usually has nice shiny things that aren't too pricey. They also do a smattering of furniture although that does tend to hinge on the pricey side of things. However if you need anything for your house this is usually a good place to start. Their cookware section is usually well stocked, and for some reason they sell a lot of photo frames. Upstairs there a smallish section of mens, womens and childrens clothing, which range in price although you can get a good deal on the kids stuff. Mostly they sell staples like t-shirts, tracksuits and jumpers, but they do have some fashion items as well particularly in the Savida section for women. The problem with Dunnes is that it can't decide what it wants to be. In the 80s it was all about being cheap, then in the celtic tiger it went all upmarket, and now it's being undercut by the German supermarkets. At the moment they're dropping prices and trying to compete which works on some items but not in overall shopping trolley comparison I find. Still though this Dunnes is nice and it's where I'd go for fresh bread, cakes and salads.

Fitting rooms were a good idea and clean. Checkout was efficient. I love the attached supermarket where I can pick up snacks to power my shopping trip! This location had a rooftop restaurant and cafeteria. There was some inside seating and seating outside on a terrace with a view of Grafton Street.

Buyer beware! The…read moreclothes are nice but prices seem high. Also travelers take heed to check prices carefully. Some are marked it pounds instead of euros. My wife saw sandals for what we thought was 45 euro but was actually marked in pounds so it was actually 65 euro which if you're from the states is around $70. Weird that 45 p is only $57.

Thier…read morehuge home store in the city center may be scaled down a bit but the Rathmines branch is still going strong as a stand alone store. It covers most of the same ground as Habitat and the like used to, Furniture, bedroom, bathroom, storage, knives and forks etc but at better prices. In an Ireland still without IKEA, yes we're so uncivilised, dunnes is still a great bet. Weather you're kitting out a new place or looking to replace your old stuff. Most of the furniture and wares are modern, funky and affordable.

However, it is a little disconcerting having the clothes so near to the food. (The supermarket section is only a line of checkouts away.) It may be irrational, but I prefer not to shop for dresses when I can see the cereal aisle, it sort of shatters the boutique experience.

One of my favorite things about the UK is the Tesco! Small convenience store size Tesco are located…read moreon the Main Street at almost every tube station. They have a good selection of groceries, prepared food and alcohol. Prices are the same as the regular larger Tescos. Most are open til 11 pm or later. It is a great place to stock up on snacks. I also got a pretty good canned gin and tonic cocktail to have in my hotel room. The staff were nice. Checkout was efficient.

Very rarely I like giving two stars but let's say this is a 2+ rating. Those who have been to…read moreTesco know the store , this one you walk in and a security guard is sitting there scanning ccv I guess for thief , maybe a visual to stop thief but those , the majority of us, who don't steal little concerning if the store is safe. The lay out is confusing but generally found what we needed. If looking for fruit here little short on stock , and again lay out is confusing and some items not even in stock. But will say the staff at the self check out were helpful. So keep this review short as it is what it is. Would go again as the location on temple street is nice , but wish other options

What is this place? So you're probably a tourist in Dublin looking for a premium shopping…read moreexperience. Arnotts is the place to visit. I would describe it like the Bloomingdales or Saks 5th Avenue or Ireland. There's not a lot of options for individual luxury stores in the city so this place is a one-stop shop. Selections might be more limited because each store is smaller, but rest assured they have all the popular items. Tax-Free Shopping: For tourists (non-EU/GB residents), the tax-free shopping option is a huge plus. When you purchase your item, let them know you're interested in doing the tax-free rebate. You should bring your passport but the person who helped me said a photo was fine. They'll print out a receipt for you to submit to Planet at the airport. The minimum purchase is 75 euros to qualify. If the purchase amount of your goods is below 2,000 euros, you don't need to get a customs stamp at the airport. Just return your completed form at Planet desk after security or deposit it in the Planet drop box and they'll do it on your behalf. Considering the VAT is 23%, this is a great value for all you visiting shoppers. Don't forget to stop by this place and check it out before you leave town!

So now blackrock is my new local, and I'm loving it! Love the food. Their salads are gudd. Always lots of deals on them, which is fab. There's lots and lots of different varietys, which is also fab. Stir fry sets are so handy. Pick your meat,veg,noodle and sauce, Fun fun. Can we take a moment to address the elephant in the room, which is their cookies. Ther is not a person in Dublin who doesn't know marks and Spencer's cookies. They are heaven on earth. Giant, chewy and so so tastey. All and all. Great spot for the easy, good quality ready made meals and cooookies :)

I went to my first Lush store many years ago in Belfast and when they came to Henry street I was…read morethrilled. I buy my soaps here because they make them themselves, they are devoid of harsh chemicals and they smell divine. Oh and they are an ethical company as in they are very community minded which I like. They have a great variety and everything has a real funky feel in bold colours. They also do cosmetics. Lately I have noticed that they are having a lot of promotions, so lather up folks!

This place is happy, wonderful-scented sudsy goodness. Their entire collection of products is huge,…read moreand everything is awesome. They sell pretty much every personal care item you could need: shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, face cleansers, shower gels, toner, foot cream, shaving cream, powders, perfume, deodorant, bath bombs (which are solid round balls that you drop in the bath and they fizz and float creating a soft, soothing and delicious smelling soak. They're a lot of fun) and so much more. Everything smells and looks amazing and on top of that, each product has a clever name. Needless to say, it is terribly difficult to make any sort of decisions here. If I had unlimited funds, I would probably buy everything. Everything is handmade using natural ingredients, and many of the products, especially the bath bombs and soaps are actually very beautiful. And each product is dated so you know everything is fresh! One of my favorite items are the masks, which are kept in a refrigerated case and actually expire. It's awesome to know there are no preservatives and weird chemicals anywhere in this store. They're also environmentally friendly. Tons of products are vegan and all packaging is recyclable. A few of the unusual items you can find at Lush are massage bars that you rub directly onto the skin, solid henna hair dyes and my favorite, solid shampoo. These little suckers last forever, they're packaging free and they are fantastic for traveling. I also swear by Baby Face, a solid bar that you rub on your face and tissue off. It smells so, so good and it's the best for sensitive skin. It really is a remarkable store and you really should go, go, go! But be forewarned, the smell is pretty overwhelming and may make you sneeze like the dickens. Still, it's worth it!

You know, the bread in here is nice but i have gotten better elsewhere, although i do really like their pastries. what i would normally come to this shop for is the things that cant really be gotten anywhere else. like they do that lucky charms cereal from America and they usually have a better range of ritter sport chocolate. also they have a good wine section. All the stuff that's bad for you that you cant get in Ireland(maybe for a health reason!) you can get here. yum yum yum!
