    The shops are still there though! :p
    If you come off the motorway and take the left turning off the roundabout you will see a shop with flags flying outside. You can buy all your cigs, tobacco and cigars there in sterling if you wish and it does actually work out cheaper than using euros or credit cards!

    The tobacco shops accept sterling, in fact they are normally cheaper for sterling than they for euros.

    OP you will find the shops all have virtually the same prices, you may find some give you some free gifts eg lighters or rizla if you spend a lot but you quite often have to ask for them.

    Have a look at the section on Adenkerke on this website and click on the shops adverts for prices https://www.day-tripper.net

    I'm looking for a coach trip there, I can drive but don't fancy going on my own.
