Groceries in ireland

In ireland we walk to the grocery usually.
Our local options are lidl , aldi, dunnes and tesco.
Bags cost money so bring your own.
Shopping carts require €1 or €2 deposit 

Some translations 
Crisps (potato chips)
Wraps (tortillas)
Fresh milk (whole milk)
Mince beef (ground beef)
Biscuits (cookies)
Toastie cheese ( American sliced cheese)

Not readily available
Macaroni ( we knew no mac and cheese ahead but you can't even find the pasta)
Bacon ( sure Irish bacon which is more like Canadian bacon aka ham) , I'm sure American style is there we just haven't found it 
Good salsa
Cream of wheat ( all oats and porridge )

In general containers are smaller , which makes sense for walking 

Well that's all for now
