        <content>My local T&amp;T (Mississauga) stopped carrying CC Lemon a while ago, and I've run out of bottles.  I've seen it in various places in the two sizes, but T&amp;T is close and it was usually $4.99 for the large bottle.

I dropped by Sanko today to grab some (as well as some other things) since I was in the area; the small bottles there are fairly expensive, and I didn't notice any of the large bottles (I may spend a lot of money on food, but I can't really justify buying more than a few small bottles of the stuff at nearly $4/bottle).

I think PAT around HWY-10 and Dundas also sells CC Lemon, but last time I was there it was only in the small bottles.

My question is: where can I get big bottles of CC Lemon for a semi-reasonable price (~$5/bottle) in Mississauga?  I'll grab them when I'm elsewhere in the city, but I wish there was somewhere close by...</content>

      <content>Sorry I can't help (except maybe suggest Oceans in Brampton since they have many Asian food items in stock) but I feel your pain!  I discovered CC Lemon in Japan and drank it like water.  Back here, I only drink it once in awhile when I happen to be near Sanko and pick up some small bottles.  Too pricey.  I drink R.W. Knudsen's Lemon Lime Spritzer at 99 cents a pop from Sobeys, which is a very poor substitute given I doubt there are any lemons in it, but hey, there is no added sugar!</content>

      <content>My substitute is PC Sparkling Lemonade with a big squeeze of an actual lemon added.  It's not the same, but it tides me over until I can pick up the real thing.</content>

      <content>P.A.T. Mart gets it sometimes at Bloor and Christie but that's not Sauga. I drink C1000's everyday when I'm in Japan.</content>

      <content>The number of incredible drinks we don't get here makes me cry a bit on the inside...  

... but T&amp;T does carry a pretty reasonable stock at pretty reasonable prices, which is good.  They carry a lot of Ito-en products, which I find quite good.  I bought some Kirin Afternoon Tea (Lemon) on sale there last week, which I enjoy (though it's too sweet to be an all-day drinking tea).  They seem to carry the whole line of these as well, and large bottles of Pocari Sweat (though if they started carrying large bottles of Aquarius Vitamin Guard I would be in heaven), which sometimes go on sale.

I'll check out my local PAT and see if they have it in big bottles.</content>

      <content>the itoen oolong tea is great, try it out.....

I think i've seen big bottles of CC Lemon at J-town, I know it's not close to you. :(

One drink Asian markets started carrying recently is Hung Fook Tong's lemon w/ job's tears seeds. I was so happy when it showed up on shelves here, it's my fav drink from HK.</content>

      <content>Yeah, they actually do carry a lot of good things. I usually go for the Korean Pocari Sweat near my house at PAT. Pretty cheap. I'm a Dakara man myself so anything close to Life Partner I'll take. (Life Partner being the name of a drink and having nothing to do with my sexuality for those that don't know) </content>

      <content>The past few weeks I've been at T&amp;T (Mississauga), they have had a couple large bottles of CC Lemon for $5.99.  I hope this is a new development, and that they will be stocking it often enough!</content>

      <content>Yeah, they had them last time I was there as well (a couple weeks ago).  They also had some sort of sugar-free apple cider pop on clearance for $0.50/bottle.  I can't remember what the brand was...</content>

      <content>Oh yeah, I know the one, can't remember the brand either...pictures of apples all over the bottle...

I can't cheat on Mitsuya Cider anyway so that's that, haha.</content>

      <content>It definitely wasn't nearly as good as Mitsuya Cider, but for $0.50, you can't really go wrong!  That's cheaper than a bottle of pop that isn't imported, haha.</content>
