Major frustrating - we are going out on Dec 28 and returning Jan 2 - car plus 2 passengers (no caravan) and last time I looked it was over £200 booking direct, through Club was £175. Ferry less than half that but OH won't do boat in winter. Strangely I thought it would be cheaper then...

These day trips have always been good value - we did them years ago when they were first offered.
If anyone crosses does than two return trips a year it may be worth looking at the 'Frequent Travellers' offer on Eurotunnel. You buy a package of ten crossings, pay a supplement for certain crossings and add-ons such as a caravan, but it can still work out cheaper. We bought a package shared with our son, and have used four crossings, with six still to use - and because we're not towing each crossing costs us just £43.00.
There are terms and conditions, obviously, but this price applies to certain timed crossings every day of the year. At other times and dates supplements apply, but the times suit our journey times, and so it's worth it for us.

With the low value of the pound against the euro, is a day trip worth it, even if you live near the tunnel?

If you live near the Tunnel and you treat it as a day out probably. Anyone travelling further afield I would question whether it was worthwhile. You have to buy a lot of wine to be in profit if taking all costs into account. On our last trip we purchased mainly boxes of wine and it surprising how many we have had to empty down the sink because they were undrinkable.
