Why Costco Isn't The Best Place To Buy Soda

While you can save a lot of money if you know the right Costco shopping hacks, not everything is going to be a great deal. Take soda, for example.

Costco doesn’t sell 2-liters or 12-packs of soda; instead, they sell packs with 35 or 36 cans. If you don’t go through soda like a fiend, it's probably not the best choice.

Over time, even soda in sealed cans will begin to lose its carbonation and flavor quality. Moreover, a case will run you around $20 to $22, which is a lot to spend.

If you only enjoy soda on rare occasions, you're probably better off shopping for soda elsewhere, even if grabbing a case at

Costco is more convenient.
