Highway Robbery

Do you know how much 12-packs of soda cost at CVS?

$5.69!!!!!


!!!!!


Imagine that those extra exclamation points symbolize me flapping my arms like a bird to gesticulate the absurdity of that price.

Most grocery stores sell them for $4.79 or so when they're not on sale.

Two or three years ago you could get them consistently for 2/$5.00. You still can if you go to the gas station on the right day.

Yes, I just spent $5.69 on one. The only bit of soda in the house is in a special 2005 Tar Heels Coke can and I've been banned from drinking it. I did a bit of research to see which store had soda for the cheapest and ended up at CVS. $2.70 for Coke products.

Most stores realize that Dr Pepper, which the mister drinks, is neither a Coke product nor a Pepsi product, however lump it into the Coke promotions to give people a break.

I didn't realize this until after I got to the register and swiped my card. If I had known that, I would have went straight to the grocery store. I would have spent the exact same. $9.29 on two damn cases.
