I've just been out to buy snow chains for our jolly to France over New
Year,
and Halfords are flogging them for £50 upwards - seems a tad steep to me!

Can anyone recommend a cheaper retail outlet in the East Midlands - or
would
we be better buying them when we get to France?

Why not rent? This is the first I found when googling:
