IRN BRU (Men's and Sugar Free) Summer Cans 49p!!!

The 500ml "Summer" cans (with "69p" displayed on top) of IRN BRU are 49p in Home Bargains.

I think any true-BRU fan knows that it's best from a can, and considering an inferior 500ML bottle sells for 79p (£1.09 from the Tesco in Derby city centre:shocked:).

I think I'll go and stock up tomorrow, considering this is cheaper than buying a 2L bottle from Iceland for £1. Might have to buy a new fridge with the savings :)

    erm, how do you figure that? lol It'd cost you £1.69 to get 2L from Home Bargains & £1 for 2L from Iceland....... making Iceland cheaper ;)

    Either screaming children or a few hours without an IRN BRU have turned my maths to mush.

    When I lived in Dunfermline (2007-8) you could buy glass bottles with a 20p deposit from the Co-op at the end of Victoria Street. Not seen them for sale in England, though.

    Farmfoods do the trays of 24 cans for £5

    my teens drink it, and they agree, it tastes waaaaaaaaay better form a glass bottle (the pile of empties in the garage confirms this!)

    Pretty much every newsagent in Glasgow sells it in glass bottles. Take the bottle back and these days they'll give you 30p for it!

    A 570 mile round trip seems worth it to try the best of the best.
