Fake Pop
July 5th 2007 13:24
First off, I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! Let's hear it for random party days in the middle of the week!
Now on to the real stuff...
Yesterday was a landmark day in our house. (I live with my parents for the summer before I go back to school to finish my last semester). We bought fake pop. (Well, I call it fake pop because it's not the name brand stuff that everyone knows).
My family finally decided we needed to be on a budget because they spend too much money on random things. So the type of groceries we buy also changed. Instead of buying Coke or Pepsi, we bought Super Chill classic cola. It was only a dollar for six cans. I was highly amused by all this. I don't drink pop anymore anyway because caffeine gives me headaches, but I was nonetheless impressed with my family.
Apparently it tastes the same too. So if you were looking for a way to cut down your grocery bill, buy the fake pop. Better yet, don't buy pop at all!
*We also bought the cheapest plastic baggies. I don't know why we ever bought the more expensive kind. They do the same thing and then get thrown away. So basically we were just throwing extra money in the trash.
