Can someone tell me what size bottles the VMC33 uses?  Also where I can find them?  Are they sold in stores?  (don't laugh).. but I tried looking in Walmart for them, I thought I remember seeing them there, but they didn't have them.    Thanks

8 oz. bottles. We buy ours at Sam's club (cheapest price here) Target, Costco and Albertson's.

Wallmart will genrally carry some of the small bottles around Christmas. Last March the local Coke dealer called me with a heck of a deal - Wallmart didn't sell all of their small santa clause bottles - and he sold me the remaining 31 cases for $3 each.  I just take a utility knife and remove the santa label.  31 cases of small bottles for $3 per case - my find of the year.

Just went to Sam's by me & they didn't have it at all.   Then I tried Walmart ( because they were next door) & they didn't have it.  I then went to Foodtown ( I'm in NJ) & they had it....  however they only had diet ( yuck).  They wanted $5.00 a six pack.   Well now I know atleast one store by me that has it.   I know I do see it around the holiday's too.   I'll probably try Target next.

Why don't you buy yourself so old bottles and bottle it yourself like I do.

Much cheaper....

Sams Club & Cosco has it in Coke & diet Coke 24/case for $12.00+deposit, here in Michigan, & my local Krogers Grocery store has it in 6-packs/8-oz. bottles too (Coke) but more expensive at $3.99/6pack+deposit

Our Sams carries the cases of Coke for around $11, but not Diet Coke or Sprite.  I have tried to get them to carry Diet and/or Sprite, but they say all they will get is the reg. Coke.

Some smaller stores carry the others, but when I talk to them about buying cases through them they aren't much help.  You would think that when they order their shipment they could just add in a couple of extra cases  for me, and I could prepay, but they don't seem to want to be bothered.
