    I buy a case of 20 X bottles of Bulmers (300ml) regularly.
    Currently priced at €23.15
    Today I bought 5 X litre bottles of Bulmers for €14.99.

    I'm trying to work out which is better value..sorry if it makes me look thick that I can't do simple calculations but maths was never my strong point! :o

    20 bottles equals 6litres.

    you are getting a deal but then the problem is drink it when you opened as to keep best taste.

    Liter bottles are better value. 20*.3=6 liters. 23.15/6=3.85 a liter

    14.99/5=3 a liter.

    The liter bottles are better value.

    Supermarkets frequently have mistakes in their price per litre/kilogram calculations so it always worth doing it for yourself.
