  • This could be dangerous

    I never buy large packs of soda because I don't like any one in particular, but this might get me to buy more. Thoughts?

    Very cool idea. Especially when you don't want to buy a huge carton of one type of soda. I'm sure its just like the create your own 6 pack of beer. You pay more for the ability to pick and choose.

      What a great idea! As long as the price is competitive, we would definitely do this. I wonder if there is any way to get Coke Reward points though. They are typically printed on the 12-pack cartons and there would be no carton this way.

      I would especially like this when we are entertaining and want to have a variety of offerings without buying a 12-pack of each.

        That's brilliant!

        We buy a lot of diet soda and have a lot of space for storing it, so we don't have a problem buying 12 packs - but I can really see the benefit to this for someone who doesn't drink a lot and doesn't have scads of space to store multiple cases of soda.

        Very cool!

          We consider soda a treat item. I limit myself to 2 sodas per week, which I drink at work (they are free in my office).

            Thats a really great idea. I hope whoever thought of that gets some kind of bonus.

            The only time we stock up on soda is when mycokerewards offers a free 12 pack coupon for 30 points. Last time that happened I think we got 30 coupons for free 12 packs. Waited for safeway to offer the buy 2 get 3 free. Yeah...150 12 packs later for under $70 (had to pay tax.) Thankfully all but about 30 packs were sold for profit. And from those 30 packs we passed them around to my parents and sister. We did keep 10 though.

              That's the best deal but I did recently discover that you can always get a coupon for $3 off a 12-pack for 160 points (as opposed to 250 points for a free 12-pack). So we've started ordering those instead, saving us 90 points each. We just wait for a sale (like this week at CVS) when the price is $3 or less and get free soda that way.

                I like this as well, although I am trying not to drink too much soda at all.
