    Thought to post the prices of Coke Life in 500ml bottles or cases of 12x355ml cans. The pop actually has two sweeteners, one of which is the stevia. Personally I like this version as it has less of an aftertaste than the Pepsi Next. Drink the pop chilled-it makes a taste difference.

    Sobeys Extra Ancaster did have the 500ml bottles (in prepared foods area) on sale for $1.79. Not sure if it ended on Oct. 10 or ends on Nov.10. Will check soon. When the store has Coke pop cases on sale, the Coke Life case was included in the sale. YMMV at different store chains.

    Longos Ancaster-$1.99 for 500ml bottle. Cardboard bin is at the back of the store in front of the dairy coolers.

    Rexall Westcliffe Mall ( Hamilton ON). $2.79 for 500ml bottle.

    Shoppers Drug Mart-$2.49? for 500ml bottle. It's been a week since I spotted it in the cooler. Will verify price.

    I bought a 12 pack. Hated the first 2 cans I tried. I will try again in a few weeks, just in case my taste buds are off. I did love the UK version, though! I guzzled 2 500 ml bottles pretty fast.

    I have tried it last year in the US. I really did not like the flavour. I am not a fan of any diet drink. I have an allergic reaction when I consume aspartame, so no diet drinks for me. I tried Life, because it was a mix of two sweeteners (not aspartame) and I thought it might be 'better' than a regular Coke. I have not yet checked if the Canadian version has the same ingredients. My hubby doesn't drink soda very often, but he said he would stick to Coke Zero.

    Coke Zero is close to what Coke Life tastes like!

    Shoppers has Coke Life advertised in their flyer this week for $3.49 for 12x355ml. Same price as Coke and Pepsi this week

    DH picked up a case just before Thanksgiving at Metro for $3.49 and I have to say I'm now hooked. I find it to be very similar to the classic but definitely less calories and less sugar but you do have to drink it chilled or cold - doesn't takes the same at room temp.

    We were both drinking Zero as we preferred the taste over Diet and wanted to avoid the extra sugar of the classic. This is a great alternative. I actually really liked the Pepsi Next but it got pulled from Canada So happy there's a new alternative out there.

    Fortinos' Oct. 21 flyer shows a case of 12 cans at $3.69 or a 6pk of mini cans at $2.99.
    @missmaggs - did not know Pepsi Next was pulled from Canada. I noticed during the summer that some chain stores had cases of Next but not other chains.

    I won't bother to try any because I don't believe the Stevia they put in it is pure.....then again it is pop so what would I expect them to put in it?

    ^ I feel the same way, by the time it's all processed, it's not so natural any more.
    It still is sugar water -
    It's 'green washing' - should not be marketed as healthy, or healthier - and the green label is deceiving.

    Well you have to pick your poison if you're going to drink pop in general, and now you can choose from 100% horrifically unhealthy unnatural sweetener, 100% way too much sugar, or the combination of 50% sugar and a more natural sweetener lol.
