    I make it £1.32 per litre. That's very good but not great. It is in cans rather than bottles. (Bottled tastes better in my opinion)

    Costco sometimes have good quality beer around this price (inc vat), but watch the supermarkets for great deals around this time. If it's a quality beer and you like it, anything under £1.50 per litre is a good deal

    I suppose its personal opinion on the bottle versus can debate, but I am interested that you say that this deal @ £1.32 a litre is "very good but not great".

    Can you tell me what would be classed as a "great" price and where I can get some of this "great priced" beer from.

    As I said earlier, I have NEVER got beer this cheap before, hence the reason I stocked up. In the past, 24 cans for £10 has been my best deal and that offer doesn't seem to be on very often!

    How do you work out the price per litre?

    I worked out 440ml x 24 = 10.56 litres.

    £8 / 10.56 = 75.75 pence per litre.

    Can someone tell me how I get it to almost half what oxters does? Where did I go wrong?

    You DIDN'T !!

    THEY DID !!!

    It is ONLY 43p a PINT (just under 76p/litre)

    8 divided by 10.56 = 75.75 (that ££££££'s divided by LITRES = cost per litre)

    They did 10.56 divided by 8 = 1.32 (that's LITRES divided by £££££££'s = how many litres you get for a QUID !!)

    They are in Watford store - not with the usual beer - I found them at the end of the vegetable isle when I was popping back for fresh rice noodles

    I had to pay £10 for mine as I had a 24 pack already on the checkout
