My Latte Factor

Everyone has a “latte factor,” right?

Mine is Coke. Not the drug, the drink.

My husband and I consume approximately three 12-packs of Coke Zero a week, plus the free drinks my work provides and the plastic bottles he buys once a day. So, I figure that’s at least $500 a year just for the 12-packs. Probably more, when you figure the trips we run to the gas station for a cold $4+ 12-pack when we run out and don’t want to go to the grocery store.

Yikes! I guess it’s still cheaper than the daily Starbuck’s trip though.

    if you save the mycokerewards thingies and enter them online, for every 10 12-packs you buy, you get a certificate for a free one, essentially! you can also enter the codes from the caps on your husband’s coke bottles. can you tell this is a similar cost in my house?

    Ha!  I need to do that.  This girl at the gas station one time told me that if drank enough Coke, I could get a Wii.  I told her that’s probably possible!

    I just signed up.  Thanks!
