Good cornflakes available everywhere. I found the best ones are the ones called 'Tasty'which you can get in a box or a refill pack. The company who make them is owned by 'Lays'who make the crisps and they also own Walkers crisps in UK.

Thanks for that Shakespearstar, thought it seemed odd it was definitely 22/10kg when I first booked with Olympic, & it was that last year when we done the same holiday, I just bought a new cabin suit case so glad about that.

Andy its not so much the availability its sadly more about having to be more careful with the pennies. Especially on Paxos. Very expensive for daily needs! With just a couple of small supermarkets to buy from the prices shocks me every year I go.  This year it will be a trip to a local Lidals before we go to take a few things to help. Tea coffee sugar biscuits salami chocolate bars etc all of which will free up my pennies so I can have what I want of an evening. I even think I might take some frozen butter!!! I know some people don't mind self catering a couple of nights to help the money go further but I prefer to go out every night and make do a bit in the day. With all that extra weight I can take I might as well make the most of it and pack something useful and leave some of the unnecessary clothing I always take! 

Hi,

Ooh! A lidels by the airport? I wonder how they compare price wise! If we arrive  on time it should give us about 3 hours at the port. A quick shop stocking up with my favourite white chocolate will get the holiday off to a good start! I'm afraid its a bad habit I have acquired: a good night out then back to the room. Get ready for bed then snuggle down with a glass of Metaxa a good book and a bar of white chocolate with fruit and nuts! Woohoo!  Heaven!!!  

Lidl is on the main road from Corfu Town to Kontokoli, on the left hand side.  We always plan to visit every year, but end up just using the local supermarkets in Sidari.  The two at the beginning of the resort are fairly large and prices are reasonable.
We're thankful that we now have the hire car to transport the heavier stuff.
 I remember many years ago walking the length of the resort, weighed down with bags.  Not a good idea in that heat, lol!

You are right David my original plan will be best for me. Good idea though for lots of other people who have the time or own transport.

Like everybody we try keep costs down whilst still being able to have our nights out. We do this by eating in a couple of nights but usually after we have been on a boat trip or something like that. The other way we save is by not having a car all the holiday we just have one for 3 days at the beginning and end of the holiday, saves on taxi fares and means we can get to Lidl and stock up. Prices are very good you can even get Lurpak butter now! Cans of beer are about 40 cents. Bottle of wine 2 to 3 euros and its nice. Bags of coffee for filter machine are about 3 euros for 2 packs can get some dearer if you want the named stuff but still not expensive compared to buying in resort, you can save enought to pay for a couple of nights out over 2 weeks holiday. Horses for courses I guess but certainly more people now seem to be watching their pennies.

With us it has to be decaf tea bags and big mugs lol We love our cuppas, hotel and apartments seem to just have small ones
