Local TopsMarkets seems to be overcharging for 7 UP. What do you think?

[In_The_Wind]

$7.69 for a six pack of 12 ounce bottles.

Schweppes Ginger Ale was only $4.99 for the same size.

The store is located in New Paltz, NY. It's a college town. The neighborhood is a mix of older (well maintained) homes, new homes, several apartment complexes.

The only other supermarket in town is ShopRite. In an on line search, ShopRite doesn't seem to carry 7 UP six packs.

I still have my receipt because I'm considering calling in a complaint for price gouging.

1. What I paid

Before the panic buying started, I bought four six packs of the little cans for $8, so they were $2 apiece. I believe that the six packs of 12 oz bottles were the same price at the time. I hardly ever drink pop, which is why I got the smallest size. It's all still in my fridge.

4. I limit my 7Up drinking, which is why I buy small bottles.

Thanks for sharing your information.

2. Drink Sprite.

6. Don't like Sprite as much as 7UP.

Back in the early Fall, I suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Had trouble keeping anything in my stomach for a few weeks.

7up was in short supply locally. It was either drink Sprite or drive 20 miles each way to find 7UP in smaller bottles.

3. Drink water?

I used to be hooked on Diet Coke, but I can't remember the last time I had one. And I hated water. But now it's become my drink of choice. No calories and it's free (we have a well).

7. I still hate water as much as I always did. Coffee is my drink of choice.

The well water here is loaded with minerals that clog my coffee pot quickly. I buy bottle water by the gallons for the birds, puppy and Mr. ITW.

We changed to decaf 2 years ago thanks to doctor's order for Mr. ITW.

Nice to see you again, AirmensMom.

12. Water and coffee

I got a water dispensers a few years ago, and refill the five gallon bottles at my grocery store for 39 cents a gallon. Up until last week I was using it for making coffee too, but I'm trying to conserve so I now use a Brita pitcher to filter water for coffee and cooking. My Keurig is going on three years, and I don't really descale it that often.

The water is delicious and icy cold out of the dispenser, so I tend to drink a lot more of it.

13. I see water as medicine, actually.

No sipping with ice through a straw. Just gulp it down 12 oz. at a time. And I use a filter.

Nice to see you too. Stay healthy!

5. I try to avoid soda, so I don't know what the going rate for it was before all this happened.

[In_The_Wind]

8. It's not diet. I do keep it down to 1 bottle per day.

The only way I can drink water is very very cold.

9. No judgement.

You be you, girl.
