its actually funny.
Some years ago you could get cheapest cola with 80-90snt
So when you returned the bottle, actual price was only 40-50snt for big bottle.

You don’t “get”. You pay 40 cent more, then you’re reimbursed when you bring the bottle back. I’m not even sure you don’t pay for the vat on those 40 cent originally.

You would but that’s because you or someone have paid for the 0,40€ on the purchasing act anyway.

Now I’m imagining someone in Estonia buying up all the remaining soda bottles from Prisma, then stuffing a van full of the empty bottles to take on a ferry to Finland, grinning like a devious child that they’re getting a ton of money back, but realizing the entire effort probably cost them more in the end in ferry tickets and fuel. 🤣

And just as addition in Finland the amount you get depends on the container, from 0.10€ for glass bottles to 0.40€ for large plastic bottles.

Yes, bottles bigger than 1 liter are 0,40e. Bottles less than a liter are 0,20e. Cans are 0,15e.

Yeah but it’s added on to the price to begin with. You’ve loaned 0,40 to the bottle, and the bottle gives it back when you return it. You don’t ‘get’ anything. In that sense Estonia is better.

Coop and s-group are doing co-op 🙂 so they may very well have a lot of Finnish products

“After the transaction is confirmed, SOK and Coop Estonia also plan extensive cooperation, with the target to deliver Finnish food and other products from SOK retail stores selection in Finland to 300 Coop stores in Estonia,”

Well it said on the newspaper that now those Prisma products could be sold in all the 300 Coop shops. So hopefully it will be even easier to get our products in Eesti.

As others have said you don’t “get” anything. It only matters if you have some welfare coupon and buy the cheapest water/cola to return the bottles for cash in order to buy beer or something =)
