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.

You know how many smokers have/had their hard line on what price would make them quit smoking? For me (a 52yo woman) that was when pop breached $5.99 a 24 pack case. I would buy it again occasionally if sale prices dipped into that range, but having crossed that line it broke my habit. The thought of $7 for a 12 pack is just painful.

Yeah, that's fair. I haven't stopped drinking it, but I'm reducing how much I drink as prices increase.

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.
