Personal comments
Living in Ireland I would try to do grocery shopping in big shop-chains like Tesco. It will allow to save some money. I would also suggest to buy fruits and vegetables on the local grocery markets. There are possibilities to buy cheaper clothes as well. Myself and many of my friends were doing shopping in Dunnes Store and Penneys Stores, which slogan"always better value" incourage to do so.
