When I was in college a gas station a block from me would do incredible deals on soda 12 packs abouth once a month. Like buy one get two free. We’d stock a full month’s worth every time and basically have a soda mountain for people to rummage through
I’ve had the best luck with Dollar General for affordable drinks. You have to wait for a decent sale and stock up though, and use coupons when available.
For example: recently for Dr Pepper they had two 12-packs for $14, but you could buy three for $15 and there was a coupon for $2 off when buying three, making it $13 for three 12-packs. So you would pay a dollar less for 36 cans than you would for 24. Comes out to about $0.36 per can.
Several years ago mountain dew had the following prices
20 oz - $2
1 liter - $2
2 liter - $2
1.5 liter - $1
It wasn’t a sale, they had these prices on several stores for over a year.
Honestly kinda based
Soda costs pennies, the plastic container is the bulk of the cost, and not much changes in plastic quantity between container sizes
And the marketing, the ceo’s bonus, logistics…
Prices are, and should be, based on value not cost.
This toxic garbage has negative value. They should be paying me to drink this poison.
You say, based on jack fucking shit
These units hurt me. For others with the same pain 20 oz is a bit over 1/2 a liter
The 1.5 liter for 2 bucks got me through college lmao

A 12oz can was around $0.28 (when you buy a case). Today you’re lucky if you can pay $0.45.

Yeah, they’re happy to offer lower prices for people who are willing to climb barriers. It’s just a way of doing tiered pricing.
