Hen did a bag of chips at the gas station jump to $2.49. Stopped to get gas on the way to the beach this past Friday. Thought I’d get a bag of lays or something. Couldn’t believe the bag said that much.

3x 12 pack for $19


I remember the day when CVS or Walgreens would get you 3 for 9, 10, or 11 dollars with their card.

I also remember when a 24 pack was something like 6 dollars at Walmart.

Now they are doing the shrinkflation by going with 18 for the price of what 24 was going for last year.

I can attest to the increase. Used to be $8 a case about 2 years ago and today it's right under $13. That was not a small, inflationary increase. That is a massive increase!

But its like crack to some folks.

You know Coke has minimal caffeine compare to coffee right? Volume v volume, coffee caffeine content is 5-10x depending on the brew strength. Even Red Bull doesn’t actually compete with coffee in a caffeine concentration basis.

Caffeine kick and to help with morning bowel movements.

I drink it as a substitute for coffee. I never cared much for coffee but still need a caffeine jolt to get going in the morning


One of my cousins hated coffee and would drink a 2 liter Pepsi every morning getting ready for work.

Problem with that for him was he wasn't much on being on top of his dental health and his mouth wound up looking like the bottom step of the seawall by the time he was in his mid-30's from all that sugar.

The rate of inflation is slowing, but we are still inflationary, which means prices continue to go up. Just not as fast as they were going up a year or two ago.

Only trashy folks drink soda, and even more so the ones that stick this shite at their homes by the cases

Potato Chips are freaking absurd. Funyons cost like 90 cents an oz at Walmart.


As for the people getting stiffed on soda, for some reason Cherry Pepsi 2 liter at Walmart is always 1.68 while all their other products are 2.48 a liter like regular Pepsi and Mt. Dew. I prefer Pepsi after Coke went woke, so if you don't mind Cherry Pepsi 2 liters it's the cheapest name brand cola for some reason. I don't drink Pibb or Pepper anymore after using it as a mixer with liquor in the past, so now I find it disgusting, but Dr Thunder Walmart soda is the one knockoff soda that actually taste basically the same as name brand but more carbonated it seems.

Only trashy Biden voting child groomers cheer for UCLA or attend UCLA.

Los Angeles is literally trash, hopefully the fault lines flush it into the ocean. With people like you there, Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr are more likely to make jokes about it as everybody laughs if happened, because the majority of the country would not miss California one bit. Only violent crime ridden, dumpster fire libtard cities would miss their fellow comrade tranny freaks.

My wife asked me for a 12 pack of Diet Coke - we never buy coke/soda so I had no point of reference

8.99 for a 12 pack at Publix a month or so ago

I just outright refused. People on here start threads about how Canes is like 12 dollars for a box or whatever and I roll my eyes, but I genuinely couldn't believe it

What's the benefit of swapping from Coke to coffee?

Why? The satiety from diet drinks is better than water. I'd rather fat America drink diet drinks than stuff themselves with ice cream and candy. *As long as they get enough water*

I like a soda with my food. I don't ever drink one just to drink it.
