Save Money by removing Soda

Have you ever stopped and figured how much money you and your family spend on soda every month? Figure what you spend on soda every trip you make to the grocery store and then multiple that by the number of times you go grocery shopping a month.
Studies show that a family of 4 that drinks soda could save over $500 a year by switching to water.
Here are some ideas to help you save money simply by focusing on the soda/diet soda on your grocery list:
  • You can save the most money by drinking tap water instead of soda.
  • If cutting soda out completely isn't going to happen, try taking a small first step by reducing the amount of soda that you/family drinks a month.
  • Individual servings (cans and bottles) are typically more expensive then 2 liter bottles.
  • Don't be afraid to try store brands as well

By cutting soda out of your diet and adding water not only will save you money but it will help add nutritional value to your diet.

Try it for a month and see the results.
