Wow! We never get deals like that here. Cheapest I've seen recently was
4/$10 but you must buy all 4. The problem is that I like the Lime Diet Coke
and when it's on sale, they often don't have 4 of them. Also, my husband
likes diet ginger ale but doesn't drink very much. So I don't need to buy 4
of those. Thankfully, some stores are now allowing us to mix and match
between the brands.
