Advantages: Cheaper than top brands, equal in taste

Disadvantages: Still a little more expensive than some colas on the market

For me personally, sainsbury's classic diet cola is the best substitute on the market for diet coke/diet pepsi.

I always prefer diet colas as they don't have the cloying taste that 'fat cokes' have, from all the sugar. But, I don't think anyone in the current financial climate can justify the prices you pay for the top cola brands these days.

What makes the classic cola a good substitute is several things. It has a great refreshing taste, which personally I can't differentiate from the popular brands. I'd say it's more like pepsi than coca-cola which I prefer. It keeps it's fizz really well, which is important in a carbonated drink! I don't want to open a 2 litre bottle and find it having gone flat when I pour a glass the next day. And lastly the price. Very reasonable for an own brand replica. This isn't their basics cola, (which I haven't tried, so can't comment on.) It's their high end version of the real thing.

I used to buy sainsburys diet classic cola all the time, and it's still brilliant value, particularly if you buy the 4 pack of two litre bottles. This costs £2.73 working out to 68p a bottle. I now often buy the tesco version which doesn't taste as nice as sainsburys but is cheaper at 42p a bottle.

Very highly recommended to any lovers of diet coke and diet pepsi!

Summary: Will continue to buy when I pop into sainsburys, very good diet cola
