    I have occasionally bought it in supermarkets abroad when travelling hand luggage only as a large bottle will be above carry-on limits - though you can get 50/75ml tubes here which can go in hand luggage (or decant from a bigger bottle into a reusable 100ml container) which may be enough for a short trip. Never, ever, buy in beach-front shops as the mark-up there is insane.

    I have never purchased it abroad but have noticed prices and they always seem high.  There will be VAT or the local equivalent to pay when purchasing abroad.

    Probably not at the moment because of Indian Summer, sunscreen products are often reduced at this time of the year. 

    As has been posted, they are OK while in date when unopened so fine to buy in the autumn / winter for next year.

    I'm another quite happy with Aldi. 👍
