Savings on Cola

I have a tip for people who like my husband just has to have coke in the morning and throughout the day, that's my husbands coffee.

He was going to the convience store and buying 20 oz cokes and they are at least $1.19 a bottle, he was buying at least 3 per day and that adds up to $3.57 not including tax, for a 30 day month thats a $107.10 just for coke.

So one day I was at Kroger and saw their 2 litre bottles of cola for only 55 cents, I got one and asked my husband to give it a try, he really liked it, so I went back and got 30 more of the 2 litre bottles of Kroger cola for only $16.50 and put them in the refrig. as needed.

He takes one every morning, reuses a 20 oz coke bottle and ends up getting 3 1/2 bottles out of it. This is a savings of $90.60 a really big savings per month for my household. This can be used to put in your savings account or maybe to help pay off a bill or save for a vacation or christmas. Its really helped us to save and hopefully will help someone else also. Most store brand are as good or better than the name brands, and at a great savings. - Becky

HI, That's an awful LOT of cola. Dentists will tell you, cola leaches
calcium from your teeth [from the outside & internally] and from your bones. It also causes an imbalance in the bodys alkaline/acid , which causes a lot of problems. Also, if he's drinking regular, instead of diet, he probably has a weight problem, which leads to all kinds of health problems. He may be addicted to the caffeine, again causing more problems. One tip that helps to cut down on colas is after brushing our teeth in the morning, drinking only water, for the rest of the day.

Once we get that sweet cola taste in our mouth it makes us want more and makes water & other drinks taste bad.
Colas, as in everything else in life, are ok in moderation, but deadly in excess. Next checkup your husband has, he might want to get checked out for diabetes. It would also help if after his first morning jolt of cola-caffeine, for him to switch to caffeine-free for the rest of the day.
