Deal Details
This is part deal post and part rant. My favorite diet sodas are Diet Pepsi (#1) and Coke Zero (#2), with Diet Coke (#3) bringing up the rear when either of the first 2 are not available on sale. Well, lately, I don't know if you've noticed, but Coke and Pepsi have absolutely sky-rocketed, and not only that, they're rarely even on any *real* sale. I used to be able to buy 4 for $5 or at least 3 for $5, locally. Now, regular price is up to $2.68 at Aldi, and about the same at Walmart, with some other stores such as Target and CVS hitting over $3 per 2 liter. Outrageous!
At any rate, Sam's Diet is not as good as Diet Pepsi (or Coke Zero or Diet Coke, for that matter), but it's actually fairly good, and at only $1.18 per 2L - it tastes a lot better.

It's just lazy to DV a deal but have nothing else to offer. I'm fine if people think a Buck Eighteen is a shit deal, but damnit, tell me what the alternative is. I'd prefer Diet Pepsi or Coke Zero, but I'm not paying $3 a 2L for it.
I'd hardly pay the 58 cents it used to cost
Strange how everything keeps increasing in price in JB greatest economy ever. Will only keep going up.

So, back to the point of my OP - this is $1.18 and Coke and Pepsi are selling at $2.68 + per 2L. So, the regular price of this is less than HALF of Coke and Pepsi. Also, if you read my OP, in the past, regular price didn't matter much because somebody ALWAYS had Coke or Pepsi on sale. Even the worst sales were usually 3 for $5. Now, however, I'd beg for a 3 for $5 deal. Nobody has sales on it, almost ever. It was so bad that I bought 2 Diet Pepsis at CVS for a Buy One Get One for 50%... but the regular price was something like $3.38 per 2L! I ended up paying over $2.50 per 2L... and that was the friggin' "sale" price.
So, back to the point... if you find a good deal on RC Cola, Faygo, Summit (an Aldi brand) or whatever and it tastes anywhere close to Coke or Pepsi, then please feel free to respond with a link and a price.

I'm not sure which stores Walmart sells this stuff at, but at $1.48 per 2L (see link, below), if it tasted better than the Sam's, I'd buy it in a heartbeat at only 30 cents more than the Sam's Diet. That said, Sam's Diet is "close enough" given that its price is 56% cheaper than Walmart's $2.68 price for Diet Pepsi or Coke Zero.

In economics, there's the concept called "price elasticity" and the "substitution effect." The price of Pepsi and Coke is fairly elastic, meaning we'll all pay more for it to get it... but at some point, many of us are going to start substituting Pepsi and Coke for other brands and other drinks (such as ginger ale or iced tea). I think I've reached my point.

I might suggest tea sweetened with almond milk as a much cheaper substitute..
assuming you make the tea yourself.
Is anyone else here diabetic and notice even the diet/zero colas still spike glucose? The nerve damage from diabetes sucks, I advise you all to cut out this cola crap. I'm not judging, just warning. Sucks to go through this, but i'm healing up well and i'm back down to pre-diabetic levels.
