Cannock have got the 2 litre bottles of Ribena Light for £1.99 - they're over £4 in Morrisons. I've stocked up because I drink a lot of this, mixed with boiling water, in Winter

If they are the same as the bottle I bought today in Derby I hope you didn't stock up with too many.
They were rather short dated - just Feb 2009.

I don't mind out-of-date products but Ribena just doesn't seem to "keep" like many others. It will eventually turn brown :eek: but long before then the taste is definitely odd and not very blackcurranty.

As it turned out within an hour of my HB £1.99 purchase I found some 2 litre bottles on sale on a market stall (that sometimes sell a few short & out of date items) for just £1.

Blast ! I thought. Then found they were Nov 2008 so not so bothered I'd paid 99p more.

I drink mine as it leaves the bottle mixed with the same amount of Vodka :beer:

LOL!

Yeah I spotted the date and got enough to last us until then - we easily go through a litre and a half a week (only the Light though, we like our teeth too much for the full fat version)
