Great thanks,

A few years ago I would only buy the big cans for $1.00 on sale then the
sales of that item stopped. Then I saw an ad for the 99 Cent Only stores
one day for the small (soda can size) 12 ounce at 2 for $1.00. At that price
I buy it by the case for occasional use. In the past the larger cans would
start fermenting or going bad before I would use it all.

I'll try the 6 to 26 - Thanks again.

Dimitri
