    Specific offers can be good, but it has been changing recently (about time) with stores down here finally bringing prices down. Stuff made / sourced in UK will be cheaper, but stuff from Europe (italian coffee, some pastas etc ) are more expensive.

    Nice beers are good value, but cases of bog standard stuff is about the same price as down here.

    Wine & spirits went up in April in the Niorth / UK and price different is only a couple of euro.

    Watch for different pack sizes.

    The big bonus is the choice of stuff becasue its part of UK market of 60million people, so simply bigger ranges and a more diverse range of stuff makes it worthwhile stopping off.
