I just bought $27 with of pop (soda, whatever) and I ALMOST saved more than I spent. I saved $24 with coupons and sale deals. I am not a true Ferengi till I save more than I spend though.

That's pretty impressive, if you were in Karate I'd award you a yellow belt.

PAB is the master of getting all things fizzy for cheap.

Is he the one who posted the pic with about 400 cases of pop stacked up 6' high in front of that window? That was nuts!

Yep that was him. I started chatting with him after he posted a Hot Deal. OD had a $20 off $50 coupon, buy a whole sh!t load of Pepsi/Mt Dew until you reach $50 then use the $20 off coupon with free shipping. A day or two later the OD delivery guy is at your doorstep and hates you because he has to bring all the cases into your house.

I rememebr that. I got in on it once ( the second time I think) 17 12 packs for $30 IIRC. The guys in michigan paid like nothing because of the 10 cent refund on each can, which was insane! He didn't get them all at OM did he? I will have to ask him.

I wonder if he has his machine set up somewhere yet :)
