    Regular prices for my location in the US Midwest are around $11 for a 12-pack of Coca-Cola products — that’s twelve 12oz cans. Sales are frequently run for “buy 3 (12-packs), get 3 free”.

    You can get roughly the same per-can sale price by buying flats of 35 cans from warehouse clubs like Costco every day without waiting for a sale, but the warehouse clubs don’t carry every Coca-Cola product, usually just Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, and Sprite.

    Pepsi products cost roughly the same.

      Yeah, for a very long time I refused to pay more than $3/12 pack. Now I consider it around $5-6.

      So that’d be $33 for 6 12-packs roughly $5,50 per pack or like 250% of the price in the image?

        In the states, $5.50 is considered a good sale now. I have seen single 12pks go for $12 not on sale.

      12oz can is 355ml very close to the 33 cl or 330ml or 1/3 liter in Europe.
      The price you state is almost $1 per can.
      Here (Denmark) we get 1 can for $0.30 when on sale, which they almost always are now, because they’ve lost sales to local brands.

      When I see people buy these at the cheap, I sometimes comment in a very soft overbearing voice: Nonono we aren’t buying American, like gently correcting a small child.

      Edit PS:
      The price in Denmark includes 25% sales tax.
