Title: Soda drinkers
Post by: camellia0 on May 05, 2019, 01:56:15 pm
Do you stock up on sodas? Stores have sodas price at 3 cases for $11.00 (with a limit) and baskets are full. Do you do this? If so, how long does it take to drink 3 cases?   I don't drink sodas often. I may buy a 2 liter once every 6 weeks.

I can't drink soda anymore because I have such problems with tooth decay it is insane. Since, I have stopped drinking soda, my problem is much better.

i usually buy it if it's on sale.  I don't drink alot of soda, but I like to have it on hand for company.

I never buy soda anymore. I like the taste, but the sugar gives me a stomach ache. For some reason, Mountain Dew specifically makes my joints ache.

I used to drink a two liter of Cherry 7up every single month or maybe sometimes two. I drank much more pop when I was younger and every chance I went to a restaurant I would order some sprite, 7up or mountain dew. Of course like everyone when I would get some fast food I would order a pop then too. I think drinking 3 cases when I was in my pop drinking prime would have taken me a few months though.

I rarely drink it since I've heard it's not as healthy for you. We stopped buying it altogether and I just drink water just about every time we eat out now. I also skip the pop for lemonade when buying fast food now and don't really miss it.

I love Dr. Pepper so I usually buy enough to last me at least a month at the time.  I buy the 16.9 oz bottles by the six pack so I can close them up.

Always stock up when they are on sale.  I drink about 1 soda every other day so I go through them pretty fast.

If they are on a super sale I may buy like in this case the 3.  Otherwise I buy maybe 1.  I don't drink them all the time though so they last a while.

Nah? Then you say you buy about 6 cases for the week and then go back for more before the end of the week? And you say you do not drink a lot?

If you drink one a day at work - how is 4 days a week equal to 5 sodas?

When you see a sell, go for it, I have stocked up on stuff.

I don't drink soda too often. I like sprite but that's about it. I only have it to treat myself here and there.

     The prices of sodas have skyrocketed. I look for special deals.
     My nurse told me to avoid sugary drinks...they are nothing but trouble.
     Very important: I read the labels...and look for the listed ingredients.
     If they have: High fructose corn syrup, too much sugar or more added sugar
     or other dangerous ingredients like artificial flavors or colors, I just do not
     buy them. Colas, Dr. Pepper and root beers are, for these reasons, excluded.

   "Cream sodas" are my favorite sodas.
     I love that bubbly vanilla flavor.

We drink diet soda and stock up when it's on sale, but lately I just order sugar free Crystal Light single servings and keep a bottle in the fridge.

No, I am not a soda drinker but my Mom is so when I visit her if I see a good sale I will purchase for her; since she does not get out like she use to ; so I try and stock up her house when I visit.

Post by: dsawan on May 12, 2019, 03:26:37 pm
never really stock up. I drink one a day whch I should not but when i drink soda i drink black tea with it. I do this to kill bacteria since i too had cavities or tooth decay;since I started this no issues.

I don't drink any carbonated beverage because I have never enjoyed that feeling as I drink and swallow. But most of my family does and they stock up every time there is a great sale. Guess I would too if I drank it.

I used to buy in quantities when I drank it. But I stopped drinking that about 10 years ago.

I do buy it when it is on sale and usually the 3 cases which last for months unless we have company or it is around a holiday.  Try to purchase regular and diet to have on hand.

I drink a diet Pepsi once in awhile. A 12-pack lasts me a long time. But I try to find a good price when I buy it.

Unfortunately I am addicted to coca cola and it is fattening and destroys enamel on the teeth not to say the lining in your stomach.  I still drink it knowing all of this and still stock up on coke.

We don't usually because we usually buy 2 liters and can usually find them at a decent price.

Post by: pectacon on May 17, 2019, 10:19:08 am
Used to have soda practically with every dinner as a teenager. In more recent years I've been having water as the default instead and saving the soda for meals it really "goes with" (burgers, pizza etc). Probably 1 can per week for me now.   

We get the store brand because it's about half the price of Pepsi but 95% as good.

Post by: debidoo on May 17, 2019, 12:50:25 pm
No I don' t stock up because the only soda I drink now is the kind in glass bottles with real sugar and no HFCS.  And I really don't drink that very often because of type 2 diabetes.  I do love it but I just know it isn't good or me.
Title: Re: Soda drinkers
Post by: aflyingmonkey on May 17, 2019, 01:37:54 pm
I rarely purchase soda from the store... although I do on occasion indulge myself in bottles of Coke Zero when they are having great sales, like 1 bottle for .69cents if you purchase 5 at once.  But other than those great sales, I stay away from soda buying.

Like you, I do see people load up their carts when they have sales. Wasted calories if they do it on the regular, I try not to judge.

Sparkling water is a great alternative.

Especially if you add fresh lemon and/or lime to it. Love, love, love it.  :icon_rr:

I  usually buy it  on sale.  Hubby drinks it, But  he only drinks one can a day. Me  I have not drank a soda pop in 65 years. I don't  like the taste on any of it.  And I don't drink sugar in my tea of  coffee.   I could save  money every month if he quit drinking it. And he would  feel a lot better but just  getting him to do it is not going to happen.

Stop & Shop has been having sales on them lately. 88 cents each, but you have to buy 5. It's a pretty good deal & I stock up for like 2 weeks worth.

I don't know if any of the ones I drink are available with real sugar.  I would like to try one to see if I can tell a difference in the taste.  The only thing I really remember seeing that on was Coke and I don't drink it much.

I'm terrible in the summer - all I drink is pop. It just feels more refreshing than water to me.

It does depend on how warm it is for how much I drink. 70s? Maybe 2-3 cans a day. 80s and 90s? Probably 1 can per degree  :P

Do you stock up on sodas? Stores have sodas price at 3 cases for $11.00 (with a limit) and baskets are full. Do you do this? If so, how long does it take to drink 3 cases?   I don't drink sodas often. I may buy a 2 liter once every 6 weeks.

I do stock up when they're on sale.  My local grocer has them on sale every six months or so @ 5 for $10.  I'll buy 5 or 10, according to how much cash I have. 
That's enough to last me til they go on sale again.

Soda is getting more expensive every year! I usually buy soda as needed. I usually buy a liter or 2 liter depending on the price every other week. I usually buy diet coke & sometimes none diet sodas.
