How to make a 3V holiday cheap…

From Snowheads. (They could always save on the eating and drinking too……)

Just booked: Sat 14th to Sat 21st March
4 Flights RyanAir East Midlands to Grenoble (7.50 return inc tax – a loss leader surely the tax is more than that) = £30
4 bags and check-in charge = £114 grrrr! – that’s how they pay the tax…
No card charge with Visa Electron and a free lift to the airport.
Apartment for 4 in La Tania for £400 all in. Free car parking.
Car Hire = £153 – We’ll gamble on the need for no chains as usual unless forecast is bad (good).
Fuel = £45
Tolls = £20
Food kitty – visit to Champion in Moutiers en route = £300

So the basics work out at £266 each.

And trying to be realistic….
4 x Ski Hire / Lift Pass £1150 (got boots) – suppose this could be classified as a basic really.
Happy Hour drinks in the ski lodge 5 pints / 6 nights a week at 3 Euros a pint (researched this bit) = £360
Say 2 (decent) evening meals out and extra drinking say £75 each/night = £600
and 2 lunches out (sarnies the other days) say £20 each/lunch = £160

And the extras = £568 each.
