20oz bottle of soda, how much where you are?

[mmntech]

Got to thinking about that thread on the solar powered vending machine we had a few weeks ago. People seemed pretty upset about paying the premium price of $1 for a can.

So I got to thinking, how much do you pay for a typical 20oz (591ml) bottle where you are. It's the standard size sold by machines and convenience stores.

Here in eastern Canada, it's $2.00 from a machine, but up to $2.25 at convenience stores.

$1.73 after taxes right near my job where i get them.

$1.25 in the soda machine in my apartment complex.

About a decade ago, $1.

Now, $2.

 

[Elganja]

1.25 @ the soda machine

About US $3.3 for a 50cl bottle (standard sizes here are 33 can or 50 cl plastic bottle) is the standard price in vending machines and convenience stores. A little cheaper in big supermarkets and such.

 

[Meghan54]

Cheapest is 2 for $2.22.

Most expensive is around $1.80 per.

But we don't buy them anyway, so neither of us care one whit about what they cost.

 

[ElFenix]

was $0.60 from the machine when they came out

good ol' days

$1.39 (+tax) or so from a convenience store. cheaper to buy fountain so i always get that.

 

[shiner]

Most convenience stores around here at $1.09 for the major brands, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, etc.... and .99 for everything else.

At least they were the last time I checked....normally if I get something to drink at one of those places it is a fountain drink, not bottle or can.

dolla twenty five please!

1.25 here at the work vending machines

I saw this thread and then ran down to the vending machine at work.

20 oz bottles = $1.25

12 oz cans = $0.65

I still remember when a 12 oz can was $0.5 and a decent sized bag of chip (not tiny bit as right now) was $0.5. Breakfast for a total price of $1. Good o'le days.

20 oz bottles at JFK airport stores = $1.45, not bad for an expensive place.

 

[edro]

$1.25 from machine at work
$0.75 for can from machine at work

$0.25 or do you literally mean 1/4 of a cent (it's that Verizon math all over again)

Either way do you work at a bottling plant or something?

$1.35 here at work, they just went up ten cents about 3 months ago. Typically around $1.49 at most local gas stations that I've seen, but I don't buy them that often.

I work right next to a Walmart, so most guys here just walk over to Walmart and buy a 2-liter for $1.25 (or $0.89 if they want the Walmart brand), stick it in the fridge, and use a cup to drink on it for a week. $1.25 once a week is much better than $1.35 every day.

$1.25 at the vending machine at work, operated by Sodexo

Up until about 4 years ago the soda machines outside WalMart sold the Sams Club soda in a can for 25 cents and the name brand for 50 cents.

I just noticed they now only sell the name brand and its in the bottle for 1.25.

I'm guessing it cost the manufacturer about 10 cents a bottle tops for all the ingredients, shipping, etc.

 

[mmntech]

Damn. Why are they so cheap in the US?! Even sans tax it's still $1.76.

 

[waggy]

from a machine? $1.25 if you go into a store its $1.50-1.79

 

[CPA]

Free at work. Cans, though, no bottles.

 

[bobdole369]

Hess gas station is 2 for $2.22 or $1.49 each. Vending machine typically $2 even.

 

[geecee]

$1.35 here at the vending machine, but my company probably subsidizes it. Not really sure otherwise, usually like $1.75 or so at the Duane Reade nearby.

fiesta grocery stores here carry their house brand for $0.25 a can in the machines still. HEB stores carry house brand bottles in the machine for $0.50.
