$1.25 for a 20 ounce soda?

tell me about it. i love dr pepper and i pay 1.39! i dont drink them as much anymore and it is ridiculas. everything is so high now. milk? omg! i may as well buy a dang cow and milk it my self. im just glad that our gas is below 2.00 now. it probley wont last long.

Where I am at its $1.50 for a bottle out of the soda machine, I think they are 24oz but can you believe $1.50 and in the grocery store too as a single that is refrigerated. 2 liters are cheaper or its cheaper to buy a six pack of them for $5 and chill them yourself, that is what I do cause I take a 24oz to work every day.

That is indeed a pretty steep price for a 20 ounce soda when you can get a 2 liter already for the same amount. Oh well... prices keeps going up so fast while our salaries are going nowhere..

I think at the gas station by my house it is between 99 and $1.39 depending on the brand. I bought a 2 liter at Walmart today and it was $1.49. I normally buy 12 packs or fountain soda's so I normally don't pay attention.

Where I live, it used to be $1.19 for a 20 oz soda, in the coolers at the gas stations, wal mart and other places the serve single sodas, and the two liters were $0.99. That really made you think. Now, they are just about the same price, with our 20 oz being 1.39 and our two liters at $1.29. Some of the vending machines are charging $1.00 for a can, or more. Crazy. I did see where our Coke products were going back to at 16 oz bottle for only $0.89 cents. But I am a Mt. Dew Drinker, so that won't help me out much, but it does my husband.

yeah thats what usually happends. i don't like buying too many things from dollar stores though.

i think that the prices are out of control. i don't think that it will ever get better. the price of one bottle of pop cost more because you can take it on the road and drink it and it is cold. if you buy one bottle at a time, then you will end up spending more. that is what they want

I personally think it is insane too! The problem is they know people will still buy them as who is going to buy and drink out of a 2-liter when going somewhere or doing errands.

I remember when a 20 ounce bottle of pop was only $0.75, and that was even when they were still in the glass bottles. I definitely wouldn't mind it if the price would go down. Although, just like with gasoline, if people really need the stuff, they're going to have to be willing to pay that extra few cents to get what they need. Of course, sometimes I'll buy the biggest sizes of pop because it's sometimes cheaper to do it that way.

They've been $1.25 for a few years now, but it's been mostly on places like college campuses. Now it's more widespread. To answer your question, no I wouldn't buy a 20oz soda for that price as 2 liter bottles can be found for less. I know I'm stating the obvious here, but food prices are definitely up.

Dollar stores do that. They price everything around the same price. For some items, it's a really good deal because you get the item for a lot less than you'd get everywhere else! But for some items (like your 20 oz soda) it's a lot more expensive that it would be elsewhere. People don't usually notice it. Because everything is priced roughly around the same, shoppers don't analyze each every individual item and think that overall they're getting a good deal.

Where I am, depending on which store or gas station you go to, you will pay anywhere from 99 cents to $1.39 for a 20 ounce bottle and the highest I have seen a two-liter is $1.59. Yeah, I think it is pretty ridiculous myself. I think they do it, not only to make more money, but because they know that if we are in a hurry and just want a quick drink, we will pay the price for it.

I have been going to McDonald's for soda out of their fountain. As they charge $1.00 for 32 oz. of soda. I won't pay the ridiculous price for the bottle of soda. $1.25 is just way to high.
