My Co-Op Local (in Northolt, Middx) has 2 Volvic Touch of fruit flavour water bottles 500ml for 79p for two. One costs 83p!!!! Happy Shopping. :T
Has anyone else found this or was it a stroke of luck?

    What is the £250 rates we pay each year for? - free water?

    Trade warehouses for shopkeepers.
  • I find Co-Op local staff quite rude with bad customer service.

    Umm, in the nicest way possible, if the item is not available to the general masses, its maybe not the best thing to heckle the OP who has suggested an offer!

    And for all those quoting tap water prices, "touch of fruit" is flavored water, with or without sugar varieties, good for small children who will not drink plain water! (and better tasting then low sugar squash IMO)

    This is a money-saving forum. The water from the tap anywhere in this country is perfectly good, and unlimited amounts for drinking are free from the tap. 79p for a litre of water is certainly a bargain compared with the £1,66 a litre it normally costs, but it's still a ridiculous price.

    As far as children not drinking water because they "don't like the taste" is concerned, I wonder why the child mortality rate among my generation was not much much greater than it was. Let them go without water drinks costing £1.63 a litre until they pass out, though they won't pass out of course, because they will drink the free water and forget what they were fussing about. Alternatively, take them to the hospital for their hydrophobia shots.

    Kashmoney, were you as traumatised and upset by my vicious and biting remark as some others think you were?

    No, it's for getting the water out of the water mines and cleaning it up and getting it through a network of pipes to our taps, so we can guzzle it for free.
