Regular price here is ax high as $6-7 for a 12 pack. I can occasionally find
a sale of 4/$12 but you must buy 4 to get the sale price. Angela and I
usually buy them together like that as neither of us needs 4 at a time. She
prefers Pepsi though and I won't touch that. Mostly the sale price is buy
two at regular price and get one free. There was a sale of buy two and get
three free but I *really* didn't want to buy 5! I got a 2 liter for 99
cents but I don't like to buy those either. It's okay if I have people over
but they don't fit in my fridge very well and they tend to go flat once
opened.
