38. Bottles are up too. Two liter of Dr. Pepper is $3.25 where I'm at.

Pepsi and Coke are both at $3.

They haven't been selling as much, especially that high. As a result, they tend to get put up for sale a couple times a month at 3 for $6 when the store decides they need to push the inventory out before it hits the sell date.

As often as they go up for sale at $2 per, I'm surprised that the price hasn't dropped to $2.50.

Hilariously, the price of the name brand stuff has gotten so bad that Dollar General has decided it's worth the money to start selling their store brand sodas again. $1.50 per, meanwhile Wal-mart still sells their own brand at $1 per. Harps has generic Best Choice at... $1.68 iirc. Always Save is another generic they stock, but I can't remember the price of that one.
