Holy Coke Zero Batman!

gidgetgh — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 15:45:18 GMT

Just got home from doing my grocery shopping.

A 6 Pack of Coke Zero (16.9 oz. Bottles), which were $6.19 last week, were $6.99 today. 80 cent increase in one week, if not less than 1 week. I can't remember when I went last week.

I love Coke Zero Cherry, so I paid it.

Yes, prices have definitely gone up although I was able to get 24 cans of Miller Light beer for $15 last week--LOL!!

I read an article in the past week that said soft drink prices were rising faster than any other category in the supermarket.

I suppose high prices will deter some consumers, but that's not a bad thing. I don't buy soft drinks myself.

I buy the 2 litre bottles and one of the supermarkets near me would run every other week a deal on Coke 2 liter products 5 for $5! That is the best deal ever!!

Lat week the deal was modified to 4 for $5. Still not bad, but a 20% increase nonetheless. I find that storing and carrying the 2 litre bottles is much easier than multiple cans or smaller bottle sizes and it is way more economical at the register!

my spouse only drinks diet coke prices for 2L have really gone up.

I try to buy when Buy 2 get 1 offers at Publix. I saw today it's gone up from $2.69 to $3.09 a bottle. Even WM has it at $2.99.

I bought some today at Target for $2.19 I stocked up🙂

@ValuSkr - I don't smoke, I don't drink and in an effort (working so far) to lose weight, I've given up ice cream and salty crackers. Coke Zero Cherry is something I enjoy, so I'm going to go down with the ship with it, LOL.

DH loves Pepsi Zero. So I wait until the 12 pack of cans are on sale. And buy four cases for $12.99.

I gave up soda back in 1997 and I only allow myself one cup of coffee a day. But that one cup is looking more like tea everyday.

The price of my diet root beer has increased dramatically in the past few weeks. Like, @gidgetgh, it's my only vice other than a square or two of chocolate so I will continue to purchase.

@Shelbelle - my grocery store, Publix, does buy 2 get 2 free fairly frequently. I try to always catch that deal.

You can only stock up but so much, the artificial sweetners in these diet sodas turns flat quickly.

Also it seems one week a store will offer a good deal on Coke, next week Pepsi.
