I was just wondering if there are any/many MSE members within the Dumfries & Galloway region? It would be nice to be able to exchange some savings news here and find out who is offering what, where and for how much.
I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

  • Sorry, I'm moving to Embra to sus out the bargains! But here are some thoughts anyway -
    Probably for us the main bargain area is Gretna gateway. Due to lack of competition we seem to have to pay more, but I find Carlisle a good source of deals. Lots of cheap family days out at the coast tho', and I suppose Robt Bruce in Dumfries is good value for pint and pie. Watch TJHughes for bargains. It comes down to individual recommendations in a rural area, example is Express Tyres in Lockerbie who I find excellent, but you geta better deal when you are known to them I think!
