Supporting the Club's shop...I went online to purchase some Dometic Power Tabs....usually purchased online at Amazon or eBay at around £17 inclusive of postage......whichever the cheapest at the time.  To my shock i found the product on the club shop priced at £32.99 + £4 postage..

I realise the overheads at EG are at an all time high...but this is something else !!

I thought the Club Shop was run by Prima Leisure (Bailey) on behalf of the Club, although I am sure they get a cutwink I have purchased several things from Prima Leisure, like fridge vents, and have found them to be quite competitive. I have never thought of buying toilet chemicals online, I usually nip into Go Outdoors for mine.

I’ve noticed good deals sometimes, at other times, no. Personally I wouldn’t buy anything via Amazon, to the point where I’d happily pay a few more quid to avoid them. I’ve seen and read enough to know it’s not the sort of outfit for me.

A lot of club site offices I have found are now selling Green Elson 2ltre chemicals for £10 which it seems are from the cc ,which is as good as I have found price wise

 Slightly OT But why by them anyway when Lidll or Aldi Bio laundry capsules do a better job at a fraction of the price.

Personal choice. I buy the tablets/sachets online as the OP does but not from the club shop.

Same here, AD, with the added advantage that they are easily available in most places, (including "over there"!) rather than having to seek out a caravan/motorhome accessories shop, especially when on holiday.

I personally choose to use something very widely available that is more effective and a fraction of the price. I got the tip from Merve and its probably the best piece of advice I have gained in my membership  of this forum .

As I said in answer to your earlier question, it's personal choice. You do it your way, the OP does it his way🤷‍♂️
