How much do you spend on soda/pop?

We spend way too much money on this. It appears it is our primary source of hydration, even though I know that it should be water.

We do, at least, buy mostly diet, which I read hydrates you better than regular with all that sugar.

I think, between my wife and I, we probably spend at least 15 dollars a day on soda. Now this doesnt sound like a lot, but times that by 30 and thats about 450 dollars a month more we are spending when water is more healthy, hydrating and much cheaper.

We are just addicted to the caffiene and taste, I guess.

HOw about you? Are you pop addicts like us? Maybe you get your caffiene through coffee alone. Neither of us drinks coffee.

I guess it could be 10 a day. Still 300 dollars a month.

Right now I spend less than 10 dollars a week. I rarely drink more than 3 glasses a day.

Love the taste, and the boost. I think the phenylalanine found in sugar free pop gives a boost as well, alongside caffeine.

I have a Sodastream and last July I bought $400 worth of various soda mixes during amazon primes days. I drink about 4 liters a day which including CO2 cylinders comes out to about $3.50 a day.

I drink a lot of root beer. It’s not healthy.

I probably spend $200 a month on frozen coffees. Pop I buy a 12 pack a week, $9.99 per pack times 4 weeks, so $240 on drinks a month.

Have you considered getting a Sodastream soda machine? You might save one or two hundred dollars a year. Drink mixes have gone way up this year though you can still find them on sale then you can stock up on them and I could give you the name of the company that I buy my CO2 cylinders from. I pay just $13.99 for each cylinder which is about the cheapest you’ll find them. If you can find the 4 pack Pepsi soda mixes on sale for $17, with carbonation that makes about 30 liters and it will cost you about $1.75 per liter.

we can afford two cases each of coke and diet coke a month…Angie only drinks one a day so I run out around the twentieth of each month.

I drink the occasional soda. But I drink one energy drink a day which is about $60 a month. The rest I drink ice water with fresh lemon. I buy 2lbs of lemons every week or so.

Until now, it’s been $15/week, however, I’m switching to a drink mix that will last me a week for about $5/week. I also drink water though. Lots of it. I’m trying to cut costs

About 50 bucks a month on coke. This might lower to like 30 now that I’m drinking more water on wegovy.

I think Sodastream is simpler. Not sure.

Basically zero. Only really drink water. A year or so ago I was drinking instant coffee which costs nothing basically. I cant drink any caffiene anymore.

I mainly drink water. I have coffee in the morning. Never been a huge soda drinker and find it hard to drink more than one soda in a day. My friend and I clean my dad’s office every Sunday. It is a ritual for us to get a pack of cigarettes and energy drinks on the way to the office. I’ll get a soda instead if I’m trying to sleep that night. I get my sugar through sweets or candy though. Just never been a massive soda drinker.
