Tesco, Aldi and Lidl Urge Irish Shoppers to Buy Two Loaves Before Storm Eowyn

Galway: Shoppers are being told to grab more than one loaf of bread this weekend. Storm Eowyn is on its way, and it could hit hard.

The Met Office in the UK just named the storm. People in Ireland, especially those in its path, should stock up now.

They say strong winds are expected on Friday and Saturday. So, it’s a good idea to be prepared.

With prices going up everywhere, it’s smart to shop around for bread. Money-saving expert Andrew Gosselin suggests switching to store brands.

He mentioned that buying two loaves a week could save you about €2. That adds up to over €100 a year!

In Tesco, their own-brand white loaf is just 85 cents. Other brands can cost over €1.65. Aldi’s loaf is 99 cents, while Lidl’s is also 85 cents.

Met Eireann hasn’t issued any warnings yet, but they’re watching the situation closely. They expect strong winds and heavy rain.

The storm could bring damaging gusts and high seas. So, it’s best to stay updated.

Weather Alerts Ireland noted that the storm’s path might shift eastward. This could mean stronger winds for Ireland.

As for the weather this week, expect some mist and fog to clear up. You might see sunny spells with scattered showers.

Temperatures will be between 6 and 9 degrees. Tonight, there will be clear spells, but some fog might return.

So, keep an eye on the weather and stock up on essentials. Stay safe out there!
