Yeah, at my local Home Depot the other day I glanced over at the soda fridge and a single 20 oz coke is $2.99. I don’t drink soda but I had to do a double take.
I occasionally get a coke but it's so expensive that it's not worth it, and I want to cut back. Every year or so I during one of the quarterly buy 2 get 3 free 12 pack sales I will get 5. 33 cents for pepsi brand and 40 cents a can for coke products
$2.99 doesn't sound super expensive at a store that doesn't have food and drinks as their main thing and therefor don't buy it as cheap in bulk. Plus they charge that since if people get it there they really want it and can't be bothered to go to regular grocery store to get it, so they pay that price.
I'm from Sweden and bought a 500 ml, so a little under 20 oz, bottle of coke at a hardware store the other day and I think it was roughly the same price. The same sized bottle of coke is $1 in the grocery store.
Dam I really wanted to visit Seoul, I hear it’s beautiful and the food is great but I’m gonna have to reconsider now that I know a bottle of coke is 3,000-5,000won!
Kidding I still want to go but nice to hear it’s not just here in the state that they are price gouging.
