I've been looking into getting a better supply than the £3 it cost me for 4x500ml bottles in asda yesterday as I go through way too much. Any idea :)

  • Gonna see if my cousin will look for it, he has a big cash & carry card. Besides that, the 2nd link is £12.55 for 12 bottles. 4 bottles are £3.02 in asda, which means that 12 at that rate would be £9.06 :P Not really saving owt there :)

    What about the mix-it-yourself powder? I don't know where it's sold iin the UK, but the supermarkets should carry it.

    If it doesn't have to be Gatorade, many bike shops, webstores and GNC-type stores sell carbohydrate powers in bulk quanity. They may not have the electrolyte content of 'proper' sports drinks, but in this case you can just add some salt.

    get yourself a card for cost co if you have one by you. everything is dirt cheap there, you'll probably get a crate of 24 for about a tenner :D

    if its gatorade your after keep an eye out for your local wilkinson store. they regularly have offers on which change every 2-3weeks and every now and again gatorade comes up. I used to work there and i'd pick up a 4 pack for 87p after my 13% discount. so if your any good at maths you'd see they go for a bargain price of a whole pound eventually.

    its been a few years though lol these days i just buy sis energy mixture
