Title: VMC 33 Post by: alspjs95 on October 25, 2007, 07:54:36 am 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

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.
Title: Re: VMC 33 Post by: alspjs95 on October 25, 2007, 01:04:31 pm 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.

Title: Re: VMC 33 Post by: halehouse on October 25, 2007, 08:21:14 pm 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. Title: Re: VMC 33 Post by: Marvin on October 27, 2007, 09:08:20 am Costco had them for a while here. Now they don't. At Sam's it seems to be hit or miss. I went to one the other day and the did not have any. Then 2 days later my brother went and they had them again. But it is only Coke no diet or anything else.
