EMBARGOED: 10th December 2008: Ireland is becoming a more expensive place to live and shop. Despite the prices of many consumer items falling in the last year, a global study has found that Ireland has gone from the sixth most expensive place in the world in 2007 to the fourth in 2008.

Now in its sixth year, the International Price Comparison study from PriceRunner.co.uk, the impartial price comparison service, tracks the prices of basic foods such as milk and coffee, popular consumer gadgets and travel and entertainment goods like petrol, bus tickets and DVDs. Carried out in 23 countries, it shows that Ireland is now more expensive than Sweden (5), Finland (6) and England (7). Norway is revealed as the world’s most expensive country for the second year running and China remains the cheapest country overall.

Prices on essentials such as condoms and nappies have fallen in Ireland but not as much as the rest of the world. Ireland is officially the most expensive place to have sex, with condoms costing more in Ireland than anywhere else. A packet of 12 Durex will set you back a whopping €11.04 compared to just €7.93 in the UK, nappies also cost more than the UK with an average pack costing €7.82 in Ireland compared to €6.22. The study also reveals that a litre of milk has increased in price, rising from €0.81 in 2007 to €0.87 this year.

There’s good news however for Irish gamers, a Nintendo Wii now costs €221.00, down from €269.96 in 2007. A PS3 has also become more affordable at €355.93, down by €147.39 from last year, suggesting that if you didn’t get one for Christmas in 2007, you might stand a good chance if you add it to your Christmas list for 2008.

Norway remains the most expensive place in the world for a bottle of Absolut Vodka 70cl. It will set you back a staggering €28.06 in Norway compared to just €6.17 in China, a difference of 78%. A bottle of Absolut will cost you on average €20.46 on the Emerald Isle. Visitors to Norway are also advised to avoid soft drinks, cigarettes and fast food, with Norway topping the poll on a sixth of the 24 items researched and coming close to the top of the list for most of the others.

Peter Carlsson, General Manager, PriceRunner.co.uk, said: “Whilst Ireland’s individual prices have decreased, overall it has become more expensive than in 2007. With the recently announced increase in VAT to 21.5% on certain goods, the Irish are being squeezed further, Ireland looks set to stay an expensive place to live and shop.”

Christmas gadget bargains!

With Christmas just a few weeks away, trips to the US could prove particularly fruitful if you’re planning on grabbing the latest gadgets. A Canon Powershot G9 digital camera is cheapest in the US, costing just €311.13, however the same camera in Denmark will set you back a bank-breaking €487.70, and a whopping €448.785 in the UK, 30.7% more than the US.

Mp3 players are also cheapest in America, with a 16GB iPod touch costing just €199.20 compared to a jaw dropping €272.18 in Lithuania, a sizeable difference of 26.6%. The study also advises consumers to avoid Lithuania for games consoles as you risk paying up to 63.5% more, a Nintento Wii will set you back € 458.41 compared to just €166.71 in the Big Apple. The study found that overall the price of games consoles globally seems to have plummeted in the last 12 months.

Other key findings

• Ireland comes in at €8.22 for a cinema ticket in 2008 compared to €9.50 in 2007. Lithuania is top of the flicks, a ticket will set you back just €3.63
• Public transport has remained reasonably steady in Ireland with a slight decrease from €1.00 in 2007 to €0.93 in 2008
• The price of cigarettes has fallen in Ireland with 20 Marlboro Lights now costing €6.72, down from €7.05 last year. Smokers are best avoiding Norway, where a pack of 20 will cost you €7.48, an unbelievable 86.9% more than Shanghai, where 20 cigarettes cost just €0.98
• The price of milk in Ireland has risen steadily up from €0.81 in 2007 to €0.87 in 2008. Tokyo is the most expensive place in the world to purchase milk at €1.59, compared to the Czech Republic where a pint costs just €0.49

• Parents have had an easier ride in Ireland this year with the price of nappies falling from €9.79 (2007) to €7.79 (2008). Parents are hit hardest in Italy, with a pack of 28 Pampers Nappies costing you €8.28 compared to just €5.05 in Greece
• Don’t go to Iceland for gadgets – the study unveils Iceland as the most costly place to buy luxury items such as games consoles, with an Xbox costing a whopping €329.01 compared to €177.65 in Belgium, 45.9% more. Iceland, fell in the middle of the global price index as the 13th most expensive country overall

About the study

Where possible, three prices were collected for each product and the mean average was used as the country’s price for the product. No less than two prices per product per country have been used, with the exception of those products where prices are standardized, e.g. alcohol in Sweden or McDonalds. Prices, in most cases were collected from multiple-outlet retailer stores, to ensure that they are as closely representative of each country’s typical prices as possible.

Exchanges rates were taken from www.xe.com

The prices were collected October 1st to 21st, 2008

In the midst of one of the worst financial crises we have ever experienced, and with energy bills up 38% this year alone*, it’s time to make some changes. It’s easier than you think to improve your bank balance, and help the environment, by simply taking a look at some of the electrical goods that you have in your own home…and there’s no better time to do it!

Energy Savings Week, October 20th – 26th, is a great opportunity to take a look at your home energy outgoings to see where you can cut costs and do your bit for the environment.

PriceRunner.co.uk has found ten items that can help save you money. In addition, you can also make savings by following these simple energy saving tips:

• Turning your thermostat down by 1ºC could cut your heating bills by up to 10% and save you around £40 per year
• Washing your clothes on a lower temperature, at 30ºC instead of higher temperatures means that you can use around 40% less electricity
• Only boil as much water as you need (but remember to cover the element if you’re using an electric kettle)

Mattias Berg, PriceRunner.co.uk, managing director, said: “There are lots of products on the market that reduce the amount of energy that you use, slashing your energy bills and outgoings. My advice is to look for energy saving alternatives when replacing your electrical items and remember to follow practical tips to help yourself and the environment.”

London is the most popular European city amongst British travellers, according to research released today. Despite the fact that the capital is ranked as the second most expensive city in the world**, it attracts three times the number of visitors to its Northern counterpart, Manchester. Other popular cities in the UK include Edinburgh, Glasgow and even Birmingham, which appeals to Brits more than the French capital, Paris.According to research from PriceRunner.co.uk, the impartial price comparison service, a quarter of the top 20 most popular cities in Europe are in the UK, proving that there really is no place like home. And, with the poor exchange rate on the Euro (currently €1.26 to the British Pound***), almost half of Brits are choosing to avoid the Eurozone altogether and heading instead for Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

Top 20 European cities

The research analyses travel behaviour in 100 European cities and what can be purchased for £100, or the local currency equivalent, in some of the most popular destinations. For example, in London, £100 pays for tea for two at the Ritz and two one-day London Underground travel cards (all zones).

Escaping the Eurozone

Cities such as Stockholm in Sweden, Copenhagen in Denmark or Dalaman in Turkey are the most popular destinations outside the Eurozone and are all listed within the top 20 European cities league table. In Dalaman, for example, the equivalent of only £10 (24.47 Turkish Lira) will buy two adult tickets to visit the famous mud baths of Dalyan by boat.

Scandinavia is a fashionable choice of travel destination, particularly Sweden and Denmark. But, it’s not surprising that Norway, ranked as the most expensive city in the world**, does not get a mention in the PriceRunner league table.

With little reliance on the Euro, Eastern Europe is also a must for budget travellers, with the most popular cities including Sofia and Burgas in Bulgaria or Prague in the Czech Republic. In Sofia, entry to the local zoo for two adults costs the equivalent of only 81 pence (2 Lev), while two visitors to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam will pay almost £16 (€20). Dublin is the sixth most expensive city** with two pints of Guinness costing visitors a dizzying £8 (€10).

Poland is in vogue with both Warsaw and Krakow making it into the top 100 most popular cities. At 23 percent cheaper than the international average**, Poland is perfect for budget travellers.

Viva La Spania

Travel outside the Eurozone is popular but there are also bargains to be found closer to home. Steeped in history and boasting prices that meet the international average**, the Italian capital of Rome is the most popular city in continental Europe. But, enjoying more than just sporting prowess with recent Euro 2008 and Wimbledon wins under its belt, the real winner is Spain where prices are three percent lower than the international average**. According to the PriceRunner research, Spanish cities account for 40 percent of the top 20 European destinations.

Malaga is a real hit amongst Brits and ranks as the second most popular city in continental Europe. Other Spanish favourites include Tenerife, Alicante and Barcelona. Proving that you don’t need to go far to get value for money, hiring a Renault Clio for a week in Malaga costs the equivalent of two one-week tickets on the London Underground (zones one to six).

Portugal is another popular travel destination with favourite cities including Faro and Lisbon. While France also ranks high on the league table, Nice is favoured over Paris. Germany is less well-liked amongst Brits, with the capital Berlin coming in at a lowly number 89 in the league table of most popular European cities. Munich is the most popular German city, ranked at number 62.

Commenting on the research findings, Mattias Berg, managing director of PriceRunner.co.uk, said: “With the poor exchange rate on the Euro we’re seeing an increase in the popularity of travel within the UK or least outside of the Eurozone. It’s encouraging to see that we’re taking the time to enjoy our own country and not being put off by European travel altogether. By doing your research before travelling you’ll discover which currencies offer the best exchange rates if appropriate and, more importantly, which countries and cities offer the best value for money. Heading to Eastern Europe may seem like the obvious answer when it comes to budget travel but let’s not forget that there are cities within the Eurozone that offer good value for money too – you just need to shop around”.

Further afield

With the Pound faring better against the US Dollar than the Euro (currently $1.99USD to the British Pound***) travel to North America, where the favoured cities are New York, LA and Miami, is a popular option. Thailand, China and Australia are also destinations of choice outside of Europe.

Top 20 cities outside of the Eurozone

New research into consumer views about online shopping have been compiled by PriceRunner.co.uk, the UK’s most comprehensive and impartial price comparison service. The research has shown that reviews of products and companies on websites are rated more highly (98%) than recommendations from friends (88%), and that the brand name is just as important as the product price.The company invited 2,100 of its users to give an insight into their purchasing habits and to find out which factors are important to them during the buying process.The research examined what considerations are important to consumers when shopping online, ranging from whether consumers are influenced by a product’s eco-friendly credentials or whether the product’s price, delivery options and the returns policies available influences their decision, as well as which retailers to buy from.

How important are the following aspects when buying a product?

The purchasing journey
When carrying out initial research into purchasing a product, 70% of consumers felt that good consumer ratings were quite important to the initial purchase decision, with just 2% of people naming consumer ratings as the least important aspect. However, when choosing a product, over half (54%) of consumers felt that advice from a friend was not very important or the least important factor. This data suggests that when it comes to online shopping, consumers are almost four times more likely to rely on online reviews from strangers, (20% believe this to be the most important factor) than advice from a friend (6%).Price still plays a large factor in selecting the right product, the majority of consumers (96%) said price had some importance to their product choice and 64% felt it was the most important factor. Only 4% of consumers felt that price was not very important to their product choice and over half (52%) of consumers now factor in how environmentally friendly a product is before purchasing it, although there is room for improvement as 15% of consumers stated this was the least important aspect to them.

Once consumers have selected their product, 61% will be more inclined to click through to a retailer that is listed as having the lowest price. And, 54% say that it is quite important that the retailer they choose is one which they are already familiar with. After selecting a retailer, 42% of consumers said that whether the product was in stock for delivery was very important to their final purchasing decision. However, even if the product is in stock, 49% of consumers felt that unless information about product including warranties, returns, and price of delivery are clearly stated they might not complete the purchase.

How important are the following aspects when choosing a retailer to buy from?

Mattias Berg, Managing Director, PriceRunner.co.uk, comments, “Trust in online retailers is at an all time high, with consumers buying online spending a record £4.2bn in February 2008 alone.** Given how that number is continually increasing, it is particularly interesting to see the growing importance of user and expert reviews of products starting to challenge the more traditional methods of marketing.”

He continues, “It is important to know what our consumers factor in when they are shopping online so that we can provide the best offers for our users and therefore increase conversions for our retailers. What better way to find out exactly what they like and dislike than to ask them directly?”

PriceRunner.co.uk, the impartial price comparison service, has today announced the launch of two new services on the site: The Insider, an innovative gadget and technology magazine which went live in late April, and also a portal for live video product reviews which went live in May.The Insider is an online magazine providing users with a variety of new content including impartial editorial news, reviews and advice on a whole range of products. Content on the Insider is updated daily with top tips, choice cuts from the PriceRunner top 50 and cutting-edge insight on the latest gadgets and technology.

PriceRunner.co.uk has developed The Insider through a partnership with Republic Publishing, a company that provides bespoke editorial content solutions. James Beechinor-Collins, Managing Director, Republic Publishing, comments, “We are delighted to provide content for The Insider magazine. With 18 years combined experience of writing across various titles, including popular gadget site T3.co.uk and the Gadget show we are in very good stead to be working with PriceRunner.co.uk to provide them with unique content.”

Mattias Berg, Managing Director, PriceRunner.co.uk, comments, “The content of The Insider is designed to inspire and engage our users, and to give our users more reasons to return to the site time and time again. We want to give our audience a wealth of information when comparing products on our site, so that they can make well informed product choices.”

The second development is the launch of the video reviews, through a new interactive portal which allows users to upload videos showing home-filmed product reviews starring themselves or their friends testing out products that they own.

Mattias Berg, Managing Director, PriceRunner.co.uk-, continues, “From speaking to our users in research earlier this year, we know that product reviews are a vital part of the product selection process. 20% believe this to be the most important factor with advice from a friend being 6%. These data suggest that when it comes to online shopping, consumers are almost four times more likely to rely on online reviews from strangers. As an addition to our online forum, our new video platform will allow our audience to step into the spotlight and to interact with other users though these videos, and to advise each other on must-have products in a fun and engaging way.”

The process of uploading videos is simple; users can film the videos on their phone or using a digital camera or camcorder, and upload the videos in any format.

We’ve worked with PriceRunner.co.uk to give you everything that you need to host the ultimate garden party this summer.

Not only that, because we understand that you can’t always rely on the British weather, we’ve suggested outdoor items that will help you, your family and friends to make the most of your garden come rain or shine.

Mattias Berg, managing director at PriceRunner.co.uk, the impartial price comparison service, said: “People are looking to make savings where they can at the moment, but cutting back on cost does not mean cutting back on fun! Using your garden is one way to make the most of your summer on a shoe-string. My advice is to shop around to get the best prices on all outdoor items.”
