Life is grand

Some prices from my first few weeks in Ireland.

• €59 for a pair of 501 Levis
• €1.59 for a punnet of tomatoes
• €0.99 for a red pepper
• €1.10 for 250g of sugar
• €4.40 for a pint of Carlsberg
• €11.75 for a Tom Wolfe paperback
• €35 for a jumper/jersey

Relative to what you earn manufactured goods (Levis, books, jumpers) are cheap but food and drink is expensive.
