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.

even though rents in the city center are higher, buses are so expensive that the difference in the amount of money you would save by living in a cheaper area which is far from city center, you would put it in your travel expenses

ALDI has settled down recently in the city centre and dunnes store is quite moderate, there is a vegetablemarket next henry street where you get food to very good prices, cinema: don't forget your student card, the UGC in Parnell Str. is quite good
besides try to live with the fact that everything costs the double than at home
