The supermarkets where we shop (mostly Wegman's & Harris Teeter) used to have sales occasionally where a 12 pack would come to about $4, if you bought three or four. That hasn't happened in a couple of years.
Even the case of Diet Coke at Costco is about the same price per can as a 12 pack from Wegman's. I can't think Coca Cola's costs have gone up that much.
Safeway has a buy 2 get 2 free about every other week.

I am an occasional soda drinker and noticed that too. *puts on tin foil hat*.. off to google.

Coke prices at the stores near me:
Harris Teeter $6.79
Target $7.19
Wegmans $7.99
Giant $9.99
7-11 $8.49
These prices are for 12-packs. Google is free.
I don't buy sodas but I saw that Target was pushing a 3/$15 promo around the Super Bowl. That's when I first realized how expensive soda had gotten.

Three liters a day is not occasional, and it's a quick pathway to chronic disease and early death.
Yeah, 3 liters of soda a day is excessive. I drink soda and always regular (hate diet) so I am not judging soda but that's a LOT. I might have a few cans a week and I'm trying to cut back on that.

Nope. Tax cars and cell phones at a higher rate. Much bigger problem for public health than soda.

Who here said they drink three liters a day? And why are you concerned in the first place.
MYOB and enjoy your overpriced bottled water.

My mother chases the deals. You can get 4 six packs of 20 oz bottles for $11 at Food Lion.

And food stamps should not be used to buy soda. It's unreal.
Why not? Who are you to say how people should use food stamps?
Wait til you hear how they can be used to buy fast food
