    Probably wouldn't have helped in this case but if buying something in Euros or dollars from a retailer who accepts Mastercard then one of the cheapest options would be to get a prepaid card from someone like fairfx (not sure if they're still cheapest). I used one of these cards while travelling and in theory saved lots of money over withdrawing foreign currency direct from my current account. You basically buy Euros on their website and you can then spend them so there are no hidden fees.
