catch is you have to buy 2 cartons of beer - plus another 4c per litre if you spend $5 in the servo shop - up to 150 litres - so happy me - beer and full jerry cans

I had an 8 cents a litre coupon for Coles in Daylesford last week. I also went to buy 2 marshmallow easter bunnies. The lady said if you get 3 it works out cheaper as 3 for 4.00. When I checked my docket down the road later I found I had got an extra 2 cents a litre of the fuel for buying the easter bunnies. 10 cents a litre off and the easter bunnies were yumm.

So, $40 each for 2 cartons beer, plus $5 in the servo shop= $85
Diesel is $1.48 litre locally, less 30 cent discount= $1.18. My tank holds 75 litres, so fillup = $85.50.
Total cost to me = $170.50
Cost of diesel without the discount = $111.
and I'm not stuck lugging around 2 cartons of beer I didn't need, and a couple of packets of chips or ice cream from the servo I didn't want either.
I bought 150 litres deisal which we will use over the next couple of weeks and I will drink the beer ($34 per carton) over the next month or so and it is actually .34 c discount all up - yes you have to do the sums to see if its worthwhile

I'll take the beer and chips off your hands for you, but the icecream doesn't go well with beer......... hic.

I did my weekly shop at Coles yesterday and spent over $100 so got a voucher for .16c a litre off. Not bad as it was my normal shopping.

I never buy anything I don't need. Even if I have actioned the offer online for a higher petrol diso**** and groc have to be bought by Sunday and I have to spend a certain amount. I don't go buying those groceries if I don 't need anything. That is just wasting money you don't have.

Sounds good to me, and from what Dunco, Delta & Barry and others have posted they don't have anything the don't want, the beer would have a short shelf life so not wasted within their normal consumption.
Must be a further escalation of the price war between Coles and Woolies, what next?
