Dublin is expensive ? Maybe you just don't know where to eat / shop !

Hotel value - go to http://www.hotels.com/  and sort by distance from city centre 

Eating - The Epicurian food hall on Liffey/Abbey St  junction has plenty of variety and  value    http://www.epicurianfoodhall.com/ 
or the Moore St mall near Parnell Sq/St http://www.moorestmall.com/

Shopping - Talbot / Earl St have the best value, Henry St is next up, and Grafton St is 'expensive'. A lot of shops have special value in their basement areas !
