Really good idea. Munster is all dried foods though or do they have other stuff.

Sorry, yes, predominantly dry stuff but you can also buy dairy products.
It's also good for shampoo, soap, toothpaste etc. and detergents, medicines etc. Stupidly though they just threw out all the Weleda cosmetics and those IMHO are the best around, next to Lavera and Logona which are not available in the first place. Duh. Crying or Very sad

Another good saver is to buy meat bulk direct from the organic producer. I'm not too fussed about meat but OH is quite carnivore so we get, say 100 Euros worth of beef blast-frozen, all cuts and mince, direct from a farmer in Tipp. Used to be 8 Euro/kg, might have gone up some of late but still a fabulous deal for both sides (no middleman) and I know exactly where it comes from, probably met the bullock! Same can be done with lamb (there's a lamb in the Burren running around with our name on it so to speak), or pork (fellow in Leitrim).
