Planning for the Summer Away –

The Post Office Has a Guide

It’s that time of year again and those nice folks at the Post office have identified the cheapest and the most expensive places to go on your summer holidays. They have a basket of  stuff that include these items: coffee from a local cafe, a beer, a soft drink and a glass of wine from a local bar, a large bottle of mineral water, sun cream and supermarket insect repellent plus a three-course meal and a glass of wine.

 Price Relief

Now we here at James Pirie like to think of ourselves as highly competitive on price and service. If you have just lashed out on the family holiday and you have gifts to buy for that special occasion and need to buy something that makes it look like you’ve pushed the boat out, but have actually saved a few bob then look no further. After many hours of diligent thought we’ve put together an occasions list to be proud of and many with cash off, can’t say fairer!
