A pair of savvy Brits have flocked to Benidorm to save money on their pricey winter heating bills.

Graham, 38, and Darren, 48 regularly travel to the tourist hotspot for their budget-friendly deals.

The pair say they have gained a reputation after sharing their misadventures and pranks in the Spanish resort on TikTok.

After New Year, the pair from Middlesbrough returned to Benidorm – to avoid racking up their winter heating bill.

The duo managed to get their hands on a return flight for just £37.99 each.

They travelled from Newcastle airport.

The pair stayed in Benidorm for a week from 4 to 11 January.

As in UK experienced sub-zero temperatures, the pair say they enjoyed 24C (75F) heat and sunshine.

They also spent €82 (£70.86) each on their accommodation at the Carlos V apartments in Benidorm.

This adds up to just £108.85 per person for flights and accommodation.

The pals say they spent no more than £17.20 ($20) a day on their trip.

This is because they search for budget-friendly pubs on their cheap getaway.

Graham even admits he’d prefer a beer over a cup of tea as it is “cheaper over there.”

He pays as little as 80p for a pint and grabs a £3.45 fry-up for his breakfast.

However, Graham says he spends £130 a week on a food shop back home.

He also admits to forking out an additional £40 on a takeaway every week.

Graham says his electric and gas bill costs him another £120 per week.

This adds up to £290 per week on food and bills in Graham’s household.

Graham said: “It says something when a Domino’s pizza is more expensive than a flight to Benidorm.

“I feel not enough is done to help people with the cost of living and people see no way out.

“In the UK – £250 wouldn’t get you much but in Benidorm, that kind of money gets you a lot.”
