The local chain often sells Pepsi products at 3 for cost of 2 pricing. This generally involves me getting out of the truck and juggling things around until I get a 12 pack under each arm and two hanging from the fingers of each hand.

Then I regrasp them and head into the backdoor and down the basement steps to the beverage fridge in the basement.
