Money and shopping


What a fantastic beautiful morning it is in Dublin. The sun is shinning and there isn’t a cloud in the sky. ALSO, this is the day I collect my dole money. I will be able to buy some fresh food for the week. I normally buy my food in Lidl as they are the cheapest, and also from Dunn’s as they sell Irish produce. I never buy anything from Tesco’s as I feel they have screwed the Irish people with there prices, especially when our economy was going well. Tesco’s were making more profits from the republic of Ireland, than anywhere else in the world. I remember them selling Necafe Gold coffee at nearly €9 for a jar, unbelievable! I also believe Dunn’s Stores screwed us, but not to the same extent.
The only bad thing about Lidl, is they don’t sell very many Irish products. They don’t even sell Irish bread. I think, once they start selling Brennan’s and Pat the Baker bread, Lidl will top the market. It’s a pity really; as I always try to support Irish industry and keep some jobs here.   ANY WAY, back to the dole. I will also be paying some bills. In fact over half my dole money will go towards bills. Not a bit of wonder, I don’t have a social life.
Once I come back, I might start doing more work in the garden, although I should really be working on my portfolio. I have been trying to paint realistic cloudy skies with acrylic, and I am nearly there. The only thing is, there’s no fekin clouds in the sky! OHH! Can’t win.
