Making Your Holiday Pound Go Further
Last summer, the pound bought you nearly €1.50, today you'll be lucky if it snaps up €1.24. SARAH WOODS tell you how to make up the difference - and more - on holiday.
Eat like a local
Avoiding high-priced restaurant chains and eating like the locals can save a packet.
In Spain a three-course menu del dia costs around €8 per person - including wine.
In France, the prix-fixe lunch menu rarely exceeds €8, while a table piled high with Greek meze dishes is enough to feed four - all for 25 Euros.
Generally speaking, going out to eat and drink is still cheaper in the Euro zone than the UK, especially when you stick to home-spun liquor.
