As you probably already know, Tenerife is a Duty Free island, what this means is that the you can buy many items throughout the island for less money than you have to pay for them back home in the UK, with the most obvious savings on Cigarettes, Alcohol, Cosmetics and Perfumes.
I have often wondered whether there was a greater saving by buying at the TenerifeAirport on your way back to the UK or from the many Duty Free shops and supermarkets to be found as you holiday on Tenerife.
With this in mind, the last time I was at the Airport waiting for my flight back to the UK, I jotted down some of the current prices available from the Duty Free shop for Tobacco products and for alcohol.
You can use this Tenerife Duty Free price guide to compare prices during your holiday. Simply print this page out and you have a handy guide as an indication of the prices available from the TenerifeSouthAirport. I will be updating these prices each time I travel back from Tenerife in order to keep the prices as up to date as possible.

This is a very handy list for people to refer to. Just as a quick comparison to yours, I picked up a similar list from Mercadona supermarket (at the URL in my sig). You can save money buying in the shops, but it may be impractical because of the EU (liquids) baggage restrictions. I also linked to the duty free allowances.
