Poll of the Day > Safeway is evil. I bought soda:(

(+) Yeah! (+)

Every so often Safeway has a buy 2 get 3 free sale on 12 packs of soda.

I have been good for about 6 months or so I think (I think I got a 12 pack a few months ago of iced tea cause it helped with my cold...but besides that), but today I needed to buy 50$ worth of stuff (to use a $5 off coupon) and I saw the buy 2 get 3 off sale and couldn't resist.

It's 5 12 packs for 12$ basically. $2.40 a 12 pack or 20 cents per soda. There is no CRV tax here either. I just couldn't resist and i bought 5 of em.

So now I have 60 cans of soda I have to drink before I can stop drinking soda again (all mountain dew, 3 red, 2 regular).

Mountain Dew btw is Nuka Cola, i have decided.

I wish they were that cheap here. The cheapest I've seen lately is 35 cents a can, but you have to pay a 6 cent fee on top of each of those cans anyways (5 cent deposit, 1 cent ehc)

Ouch, although that would make it easier for me to resist soda. I can handle just water eating out no problem now. It's a good deal that always gets me.

Wait until your mom cancels your soda subscription.

Soda lasts pretty long, anyway. Just drink one or two a week.

I love soda sales. I buy a lot. I wish I had that sale here. I buy way more than that on a normal basis. I've definitely gone to the store and bought over 150 cans before. Usually on a good deal. But they last for a while. Even though I drink more than one a day. I also like juices. I remember seeing a Minute maid juice sale. Some were really good. I found out mixing two specific ones were really tasty to me.

They can last long. But if he does that, that means it will be even longer until he can stop drinking soda again. And they could have another similar sale by that point...

soda lasts a long time so you don't have drink it right away

liters are actually cheaper per oz too even with the huge discount
---

I can't buy liters as they dissapere in a day. I con control how many cans I open but if a liter is near me, I just randomly drink from it till it's gone.

At least with cans there is evidence of how much I have had.

Don't blame safeway because you can't stop yourself from guzzling a pointless beverage that shouldn't even be manufactured.
---

You lacking self control doesn't make safeway evil.
