Does anyone know who is the cheapest provider of the PCR tests that are required to be done on days 2 and 8 of quarantine on your return to the uk from an Amber listed country. You need to prove you have booked and paid for these tests BEFORE you come back into the UK.

This is the official government list by price - be careful though as some add postage on at the checkout which isn’t mentioned until
you’ve filled all the forms in (ie Biograd added £17 postage to the cost of the two day2 tests I just booked)

mortgage balance 1/1/2021 £334000 end date June 2036
2021 MFW 0.5% £408.31/£1670

The cheapest I have seen is Eurofins at 99 GBP for both but they are currently out of stock. Randox is 120 GBP if you use the discount codes.
