Saving some cash on Soda
I am a big fan of Cherry Coke, so whenever it is on sale it’s like a little taste of Christmas.
We went to King Soopers, where they are selling 12-packs of Coke Products at 4 for $11. This is already a pretty good deal considering it is $2.75 per 12 pack, or $0.22 a can. That’s cheaper than the off-brand soda in the machines at Wal Mart!
But, this wouldn’t be a “How We Save” post until we saved more money on top of this great sale. On each box of Coke Products right now, The Coca Cola Company is putting $1 off 2 12-packs of Coke Products.
Since we bought 4 12-packs we were able to use two of those coupons.
So we got 4 12-packs for $9.00! That is $0.18 a can!
An aside which is not how I am saving money so much as making it, but it has something to do with the deal above: A co-worker and I have been selling sodas for $0.50 a piece at work in the office fridge. We put the sodas on the shelf with a cup and ask people to pay “on their honor”. Normally, we make between $0.11 – $0.18 (avg. $0.14) a can. With the deal above, our profit goes from 29% to 64%! That is a great markup and means that my co-worker and I can actually pay for another 12-pack out of our profits after selling only 9 cans. This deal may actually help us break even on our little venture.
