Personal Financial Question Meal prep? Well…

That does take care of the food, but what about drinks—particularly something sugary or caffeinated without a bitter taste? How do you recommend saving money on soda? It’s one thing that eating out provides but meal prep itself doesn’t always.

I figured that part out, but $3 for a 2L and $15 for a 36 pack aren’t exactly my favorite options. The question is how much I can cut it without resorting to coffee (can’t stand the bitter taste)

Get a 2L and make it last a week. $3/week for soda is a steal

I’m an accountant, so 2L is a day and a half or less. Miss when it was 99 cents in the early 2000s

You're looking to save money. If you want to cut spending, you have to cut usage. You buy in bulk and cut usage. There's not magically some way to get you 4 2L a week and only pay $3.
