A filled baguette or jacket potato from a sandwich shop or pub lunch special, around £6-8.

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi, and Lidl are the main budget supermarkets in BH15.
Primark and M&S on the high street; also charity shops around Church Street for cheap second-hand basics.

Buy groceries at Aldi or Lidl instead of convenience shops; walk or cycle (flat area) rather than drive; look for 'two-for-one' meal deals on local pub boards.

Top Attractions in Poole
💡 The small free gallery on the top floor has windows overlooking the harbour — a good spot for a quiet sit-down. The building has no lift, only stairs.
💡 Head to the north-east corner near the mini-golf course for the best views across the harbour to Brownsea Island — particularly at sunset.
💡 Pick up a free Old Town walking leaflet from the tourist info centre on the Quay for self-guided tour notes on Blue Plaque buildings.
💡 Walk east from the main beach car park along the sand to the South Haven Point, then take the boardwalk through the dunes. It’s free, quieter than the main strip, and you often see kitesurfers doing loops in the channel.
💡 Low-cost if you walk or cycle to the Sandbanks ferry (small car park fee). Bring your own picnic; the café at the villa is pricey and limited. Visit autumn for fewer crowds and guaranteed birdlife.
