Answer 3

i do this once a year with my brother. We take car thorugh channel tunnel, cost us last time £49 return. we go to a supermarket just outside bologne called mercier, next door to a massive tesco's and a mall full of shops. In the french hypermarkets the majority of stuff is a lot cheaper especially local wines and beers, however some britsh cans of beer like greene king and watneys is also very cheap. You are to a point unlimited on how much you can bring back but you must be able to prove that it is for your own consumption and not for reale, there are still limits which you can get from customs website.

We have only been stopped once when we bought a load back but as there was 2 of us and it was leading to xmas we were OK. The biggest thing to remember tho at the moment the euro is very poor against the £ so you have to take into consideration your return travel and fuel costs to get a bargain. It's getting to a point that you can get certin beers and wines as cheap in UK as europe now.

For instance i have just bought french cotes du rhone from UK tesco for 2.99 a bottle, you would pay £1.50 in France but then you have to add your expenses on.
