Mixers...

[Joeyjarmangtf]

Possibly the most boring topic ever but...

Walked last a couple of ice cream vans currently selling cans at £2.50. Anyone remember what bottles of pop were last year? £/ml ratio seems a bit of a piss take at them prices. 

Reckon Co-Op etc will have any better deals on mixers baring in mind no bottles will be sold?!

Yes, they've said their plastic is recyclable, so they will be selling mixers.

This one's interesting. Most mixer brands bottles are 100% recyclable so if it's about that, it's odd they've been allowed to.

£2.50 for a 330ml can is an absolute pisstake. Fair enough if they’ve somehow got 500ml ones.

People were asking on the Glasto Co-op announcement post on Facebollocks and that's what Co-op replied.

Oh yeah I know, sorry if that wasn't clear. I just mean it's interesting that they can sell recyclable single-use plastic when it's banned for other traders. Can't see any difference between theirs and others unless maybe they can claim theirs to not only be recyclable but also made from recycled material. Could be that.

No worries mate, was just clarifying. The whole plastics thing does seem well intentioned but not 100% clarified. Hope it doesn't up going as badly as the 'we'll recycle your' tents' initiative!

Just been for a wonder, no plastic bottles in the co op but cans are £1.10 which is pretty reasonable. Also stocked to the rafters with litre bottles of orange juice/apple juice etc for £1.50. Ice cream vans to seem to be £2.50, most food stalls £2. 

Co Op cans of water for a quid. 

Hope this helps anyone!

I know it won't be at the top of anyone's priorities - but if anyone is in Co-op, can you see if they stock fizzy water? Cheers

Yeah, I'm thinking this £1.10 a can 'bargain' is going to equate to about £6.60 for a 2L bottle!
