Important costs

I am finally going to post the costs of some important, life-essential items here in Ireland.

• 1 long-tom Carlsberg can €1.85


• 330ml Guinness Draught can €1.65

Those are from Tescos. In most pubs you'd pay €3.50 for that Carlsberg or €4 for a pint of Guinness.

And buying alcohol from Tescos is, well, involved. Thankfully I am past the age where I get carded for buying booze or getting into clubs but normal cashiers can't approve your purchase and they have to bring the manager over. That was after I tried to buy the cans through the self-checkout machine which made things horribly complicated by requiring a scan, weigh, scan, weigh process for each can.
