    Possible stupid question coming up. Im Looking at a silver/white apple ipad mini2 32g
    Its priced at €359 down South
    And 239 pound up north thats €268 when i use google to find the exchange
    My question is..
    Do i simply hand €270 in notes at argos up north or am i missing something - got exchange wrong etc
    Is it a €90 saving

    You won't get the Google rate when you exchange - currently they say 89p, but my bank says 87p, i.e. £239 is almost €275. However, check the shops - you may find a better exchange rate. Basically if the shop gives you better than your bank does, pay in €. If your bank offers a better deal, use the cash machine and withdraw £ and pay with them. Look around too - you may find a shop that does €1 = £1 which may work out cheaper.

    I don't know if Argos up north accept Euros, most likely they don't.

    Better off getting a Revolt card or similar and loading that, you can use a debit or credit card but get better rates on Revoult.

    Some shops in newry will accept euro. 2 weeks ago my. Either was getting .92 in some shops.

    Check around as if Argos don't, some other electrical outlet might, like Curry's or similar and the apple products are prices matched away up there.
