They also have a sitting area at the back where you can enjoy your snacks in peace, I even brought my own food (prepared at home) and had it here with tea and treat, and no looks or telling me I can't eat in here. Staff are friendly. Only 4 stars as the eating area is a little untidy & tables not cleared away

There's also an ATM at the back of the shop.

I also wanted to see if they had creamer, that didn't work out as well either. But while I was in there, I could not believe my eyes. The bread, the food, the alcohol, the toys, etc. how much cheaper everything was! I was in there for about an hour and could not believe that here in America we spend so much more on food than what is really needed. The convenience of having so many grocery stores everywhere was also great. What was interesting is that you walk through a barrier with a security guard do your shopping, and then you go to an automated checkout. To walk out of the barrier you have to scan your receipt. It's pretty convenient and I see now here in America Safeway specially in some areas they have come to the same exact process. Well, I walked in there to get coffee, I ended up getting a baguette cheese, meat, cream, cream cheese, coffee, smoked salmon, and a few other items and let me tell you it was delicious. The workers there are not that friendly, and if you want to buy alcohol, you have to do it at 10:30 AM. The store was very clean compared to some stores here in America and there was a lot to choose from.

This LIDL is clean, decently stocked and nicely priced. The grab-and-go food was pretty well picked over this afternoon but I found a sandwich triangle as well as some candies (some of which might survive the journey and go into my suitcase home) and a very inexpensive bottle of sparkling water. Self-checkout worked fine and I don't need a bag since I have my backpack. Easy, pleasy. [Review 1840 of 2024 - 96 in Republic of Ireland - 22862 overall]

After dancing the night away, we were hungry. Couldn't find anything open, so we decided to hit up Spar for some food. Our initial stop here was just to get some provisions such as red bull, water, etc. The second stop was for the drunken eats. Luckily they have a fair amount of ready to eat food. We grabbed some sandwiches - Chicken & Egg Cub, Chicken & Pepper Sandwich. Also, got some chips - Guiness and Flame Grilled Steak. The chips were something I never tried before. It wasn't bad at all. Beer and meat chips, who knew? I have no idea how much we spent here since the hubs took care of everything and I forgot to get a pic of the receipt. But we were staying in the area, so convenient for provisions and late night eats. REVIEW #4112

However, whenever I travel internationally, I always look forward to trying new snacks that are not available in the United States. So I did find some Doritos flavors at Spar that i hadn't seen anywhere else during my time in Dublin. It's a fully stocked store with an array of items from chips, candy, and cookies to an assortment of grab&go sandwiches and instant ramen. This location is nestled on the corner of a busy, crowded street. No self-checkout. You have to pay at the register. The customer service was a bit lackluster.

And no, just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's rubbish; it's substantial, flavoursome and created using fresh ingredients from their palatable in-house deli. For one week at a time a certain type of baguette is decided upon and sold for this unchangeable price, this week it is the tasty BLT whilst last week I enjoyed the Chicken Salad one, all for this unbelievably low-cost price. If that week's chosen 'madness' doesn't tickle your fancy then Londis' deli offers a variety of delicious ingredients to be used as fillings for sandwiches and baguettes. I particularly relish in ordering a toasted Panini with tomato, ham and cheese - a succulent treat on those hangover days. With an internal ATM machine, well-stocked tobacconist and newsagents as well as an impressive selection of groceries all stocked under the same roof it's easy to see why Londis is such an institution to unfussy Dubliners who are looking for a speedy shopping experience that doesn't compromise quality.
