Are you a soda fanatic or a tea connoisseur? Comparing two of America's favorite drinks.
If you've priced soda lately, you've probably noticed, it isn't cheap. But you can save money if you know where to look.
I for one, try to stay away from the stuff. I've noticed as soon as I start drinking even one sugary drink a day, the numbers on the scale begin to inch up. I know I can drink diet, but the after-taste is not worth any calories saved. So what's the alternative? Tea, of course. It's nutritious, low cal, and best of all, cheap. (As long as you don't go for the exotic loose leaf varieties.)
I buy bags of plain old Lipton in bulk either at a warehouse club or on sale at the grocery store. And when I'm feeling adventurous, I'll sip a little green or white tea for the added anti-oxidants.
And if I really feel like splurging? I grab one of those decadent frozen coffee drinks from Seattle's Best. After you drink one of those, you'll blow your tea budget for a month!
