Irish Shoppers Spend Big This Summer | Belfast News

Irish shoppers turned up the heat on their spending as summer wound down, boosting grocery sales by nearly six percent — despite rising prices that were actually milder than last year. Households made an average of 23 store trips, spending around €635 each, fueled by massive deals: nearly a quarter of all purchases went to sale items. Big wins for soft drinks, snacks, ice cream, and sunscreen added over €36 million in sales, while alcohol saw a five percent surge to nearly €200 million. Online grocery orders jumped 28 percent, adding €54 million. Dunnes led with 24% market share, followed by Tesco and SuperValu — but Lidl stole the show with the biggest growth. As fall approaches, expect sunscreen to give way to sweaters and hearty meals — and budgets to tighten a bit.
