    Has anyone tried the coke yet? Can it be used on any coke? Normal, diet, zero,diet cherry, caffiene free, cherry? If I bought 1 of each would that be 6 of my 10?

    Just what I was going to ask, I know it won't be confirmed but Savvy did you happen to notice which varieties were stocked? Tia

    Edit never mind I see Savvy's already said he didn't know

    Hi,

    I haven't had time to catch up properly as it's 1.20am (going out at 8am with family, wife WILL kill me), but I think I might have some news.

    This coke seems quite cheap in M's, is it really this cheap or a misprice?

    Morning everyone :D

    Can't get out til after work for the coke but am I right in thinking that 9 would be the best buy? PP of 9.98 plus 2 x £1.60 from quidco + £1.75 from msl ... No actually that'd be £1.05 for 9 rather that 65p for 6 (nearly a penny more per bottle :eek:;))

    I'm sorry I don't know. Maybe the answer is somewhere in the posts after 1.25 this morning, when first posted. Perhaps this helps (we didn't know to buy number divisible by 3 at the time - although we now do:D).




    I've tidied that up a bit, to make it more clear.


    Savvy you are amazing I have a major diet coke addiction (unhealthy I know) and the kids love Doritos.

    I will be off to check out the coke varieties soon and shall report back :T
  • Right I'm off to give the coke a try in a bit. Just sitting here trying to work out a good t v m shop exc the carling

    Carry on reading ... aau1 has worked it out - Damoc bought 8 in that shop which is *probably* why it didn't compare

    I don't know which ones (apart from Caffeine Free and Zero) are picking up the 3 for 2 (as 3 for £2) in T. I don't think it's a question of anything not comparing. The quote from Damoc I just gave shows them all comparing to prices at M, but because number bought wasn't a multiple of three, I don't know if it's going '3 for £2'. That said, the prices for all the cokes on there seem pretty low for M?

    M really £1.98 each - any 3 for 2.
    T PP seems to have picked it up as 3 for £2.

    BTW, Fantas, Sprites, Lilt & Dr Peppers 2L also in that offer at M, but don't know if T has got that "3 for £2" across the whole range as no-one's tried the non-Cokes yet to my knowledge (mainly because not known that they were buying cokes that would glitch in the first place). There's more issue over which Fantas etc. M has but, as I've said, we don't know if the T glitch extends beyond Coke or is just confined to the Cokes.
    HTH.

    [Edit: Not sure if the "Coca Cola" reported as not working were bought in a shop where total number was a multiple of 3 - I don't think Damoc, or Aau1, knew at that point.]
