Do you buy pop/soda?

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 

We quit buying it a couple years ago when my husband got sick. We used to drink a ton of it. Now every once in the great blue I will buy a single one from the store but usually can't finish it since I'm not used to the taste.

 

Do you buy it and if so do you drink a specific kind or do you drink a lot or a little.

I don't buy it unless I can get it for free.  The girls only get sprite when we go out for dinner, they love Crystal Light so they drink that and a ton of milk. I need a cow!

I used to buy tons of it too, but I was finding that if I buy a 2ltr bottle, it would be gone in a day.  My kids would drink it all!  Even at free or under $1, it wasn't worth it.  There is no value in it, so I just stopped buying it.  Now I only have it if we have a party or I need it for a recipe.  If its leftover, I let the kids drink it.

 

We do drink soda if we go out, but as a rule, I don't have it in the house.

For parties/company. We don't generally have it on hand.

I buy the cans for my consumption.  Dh and the girls will have one occasionally but very rarely.  I was addicted to Diet Pepsi but have cut back from 4+ a day to 2 and hope to cut it down to one soon.

I always have cans of several different sodas in the fridge for when people come over, but the only person in our house who drinks it is my husband, and he only has 2-3 cans a week at the most.  My kids only drink it if we are having a party or a cookout or if we are eating out.  Even though the cans cost more, we aren't throwing away half a 2-liter that's gone flat anymore, and I try to only buy it when it's on sale super cheap.

Currently I have 9 twelve packs of various diets in the garage. My husbands stash. I am more of a tea drinker myself. I don't allow the kids to have pop as a rule, even when we go out they get milk. If we are going to a party I usually buy some flavored water to take along for them. Tastes like pop and better for them. When it comes to people coming to our house I always say to bring what your drinking.

My girlfriend was like that 5+ a day and it took her a year to ween herself down to one a day she got horrible headaches and the jitters she drank regular cherry coke and Dr. Pepper. It kinda scared her when she tried to quit cold turkey and got sick. So now she only has one a day and her next goal is 1 every other day.

 

Dh and I both lost 10lb when we quit drinking a lot of pop.

I occasionally buy a 2 liter of Diet 7up for dh and I, maybe once a month. Beside that, we only drink water, milk and sparkling water (plain and flavored crystal geyser with no sweeteners or pellegrino).
