In reply to the discussion: Wait till the coffee gets outrageous... [View all]Lancero
(3,220 posts)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.

NO. Most caffeine is made from synthetic components in the lab--including in energy drinks & other products

The price of soda has already spiked. Maybe because of the aluminum used for soda cans?

Which is why I buy 2 liter plastic bottles of caffeine free diet cola at Walmart for a buck. n/t

I don't like 2-liter bottles because they go flat if you dont drink them fast.

Thank you. Ludicrous claim and yet you are the only other one calling bollocks.

I'd say $7.50, they'll want the extra buffer for when Trump increases tariffs again.
