    Hope you are wrong floflo - my shop done at 9.13pm. I will stay up to check.

    Didn't go back out, picked up DD from MILs and have been helping DH fill out job application.

    I know I will get shot down, as I always do but am I missing a trick with the 8 pack cokes or are people just butying them for convenience.

    I get Pepsi max 2lt for 89p around my neck of the woods every so often so I stock up. Does that not work out at about the same price, roughly 4.5p per 100ml.

    Not bothered about the can business as the other half drinks so much of the stuff it doesn't have a chance yo go flat.

    Please correct me if my math is wildly wrong.

    I am buying it for convenience, I like to have a mixture of cans and bottles, usually cans are much more expensive.

    Depends what you say I guess :D
    But that does sound cheap and maybe it is like you say for convenience.

    I understand that, each to his / her own and all that but it really isn't any cheaper than what i bet Pepsi max for and barely cheaper than Coke/ Pepsi which is always on offer some where at 1.89/1.99 buy one get one free.

    Thanks for your prompt reply... saves me rushing out for a bargain which really isn't a bargain in my case as I am not bothered about cans.

    Keep up the MBing... sounds like you are doing well, I do it a lot (excessively some would say) and normally make between £800 and £1200 each month. Two months last year I made more than my monthly salary....roll on Cheltenham.

    My match betting is dire, have been stuck on that total for years, I have probably altogether made around £1500. Which is a pittance compared to others, just don't have enough time.

    DUH!!! You're right....! I paid £2.31 on a gift card! Soz.....:o

    Though as much... still works out at only about 30p a pop though... dunno if my missus could handle me coming home with more shower gel as we have loads still from the Lynx / dove glitch

    Damn... she has nudged me that she wants more!!!!!


    Am I right in thinking it compares to Tescos so I can get the body spray stuff too?

    simple in my house......some lazy so and so's ( all of them:rotfl:) can't be bothered to pour from the bottle to the glass so they drink out of the bottle. Then fights break out over ' backwash' :eek: yuk

    Cans are much simpler:rotfl::rotfl:
