Hi
If you hope to get away soon the best rate on line is 1.1609. Might be worth hedging your bets and getting some of your requirements, in case it drops.
It could go a little higher based on our vaccination success and our economy shows signs of improvement.

Hi
If you feel confident about getting away this year and dont have a stock of unused euros from 2020/1, best rate today on line is 1.1862.
May still go a little higher if the £ continous to gain in strength, but worth a bet to get a few.

I was just thinking this the other day but hard to commit so early isn’t it

Hi
Consider hedging your bets.
Buy some now and see what happens. If the rate stays the same or rises buy a few more

Hi
Best on line rate 1.190 today.
I think the expected rise in interest rates today is the reason. Could possibly edge up a litle more today.

Hi
With Greece suffering along with the rest of Europe with rising inflation and price increases see link:
https://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2022/02/14/misery-whining-harm-greece-development-minister/
it will be more important than ever to shop wisely for your Euro this year.
Using 1500 euro as the base, you get 1771 euro (1.1813) with Travel FX and 1741 euro (1.1604) with the Post Office.
Thats 30 euro more for shopping around. That will make your money go a bit further in these difficult times.

I know a lot of people who are reluctant to purchase on line rather than the high street but the savings are there to take

Just purchased some Euro's via Tesco, so happy with that. Roll on July
-
I think you should all be aware that prices may be on the way up from May.
A much needed increase for all in Arillas who have kept prices low since before the first lockdown.
These guys here do so much work on their properties, during the Winter, to increase more of the "Take T'easy" enjoyment and reduce less stress for all.
But.....How long can we expect a beer or Ouzo to stay the same price for 2 years?
and... so a meal for two is a few euros more? - Who gives a "monkeys" ? The service and company and the respect for all guests is worth much more then that!
Cheers

Hi
You said who gives a monkey well £500 for a meal he’ll of a increase what are they buying a mansion. 😂😅🤣😂

Got 1.145€ at Sainsburys using nectar card for better rate last week.

Hi
On line rates still stick at at 1.156
See the ''experts'' view
This morning the latest inflation data has been released.
UK inflation has come in at 8.7% - much higher than elsewhere.
By comparison, US inflation is down to 4.0% and the Eurozone down to 6.1%.
The Pound’s strength in recent months is because the Bank of England is going to have to remain very tight with monetary policy.
Tomorrow the Bank of England meets again and another interest rate hike is almost a done deal.
But there’s only so much the UK economy can take.
So the outlook for the Pound is less certain over the coming months.
Last week the Pound hit a 14-month high against the US Dollar and a 10-month high against the Euro.
It’s a run that may be hard to sustain.
Over time, the UK is likely to get in sync with its peers and the Pound’s advantage will end.
The message is it’s still a good time for buyers of Euros or Dollars.

I got mine a few weeks back at 1.145 so expect it to keep on rising now 🤣🤣

Tesco always good as they will price match. That is where we got ours 4 weeks ago for our holiday. In our area Ramsdens tend to be the cheapest and they price matched it.
-
Hi
Bought 50% of our holiday money at, as near as dam it , 1.17.
Todays best rate is 1.1549
Hopefully after the now expected BoE interest rate increase in August, the exchange rate it will increase a little more.
Geoff
