Walmart who own Asda in the UK -  is rumoured to be looking at buying Dunnes Stores in Ireland.
Asda.ie redirects visitors to Walmart.com - but they don’t deliver to Ireland.
Asda have an excellent online shopping site though - so even if Asda don’t come to Ireland you can always do some shopping at Asda Entertainment. They sell DVDs Books and Games with  delivery to Ireland. The prices can be very good at times. It isn’t obvious from the Asda site that they do deliver to Ireland - but they do. I have checked with customer support at Asda. They tols me that delivery to Ireland is £1.59 - but it doesn’t seem to be mentioned on the Asda website. Click below to see the great bargains on offer at Asda. Dunnes Stores don’t even do online shopping. Save yourself a journey to Northern Ireland and get the Sterling prices from the comfort of your chair.

So let someone else to the hard work for you. No traffic, no screaming kids, no temptations to buy extra things. The delivery charge is well worth it to get back your Saturday mornings.

TIP: If you live in a rural area and the Tesco registration system says it can’t find your address don’t worry it doesn’t mean that you can’t register. It usually works better if  you enter something in the “house no/name” box (even if you don’t have one) - you should then be asked to confirm your location on a map. Click the “Find on Map” button. Once you locate your road or village on the map the system will confirm whether delivery to your house is possible.

HMV has no dedicated Hmv.ie site for it’s Irish customers - but that is not a problem because online shoppers in Ireland can use the main HMV.com site.

HMV sell a wide range of Cds, DVDs, TShirts , Video Games . Delivery to Ireland is £2.50 GBP - about €3.12 Euro per item.  Amazon no longer deliver  video games to Ireland - so the HMV website is a brilliant alternative and great for those of us living outside of Dublin, Cork, Limerick or Galway.
