BH. Hi, does anyone know of any ways to buy soda (name brand like Coke or Pepsi) in bulk discounted? In order for they themselves to deliver you need to order a massive amount and otherwise you basically have the same sales from the supermarket chains. Thanks!
Go online and find a store where they sale in bulk. Or you can get the ingredients and make homemade soda, it's easy.
I've been doing this for a while and in my experience the best way to buy is on sale from CVS, Shoprite, Waldbaums, Target, Etc. When they are on sale, they are cheaper than a distributor even with tax and deposit.
I once sold soda in a Yeshiva. I ordered from Pepsi, which was cheaper than Coke. But when CVS would have a sale, I would go there, because they're much cheaper than the company. If you want cans, you could order it from Staples with a price match to whatever store has a sale. I've done it many times.
+1. Soda is a popular loss leader.
I doubt there is ever a "loss" on soda. The bottle or can plus ingredients (essentially sugar water plus coloring and a little flavoring) is probably less than 10 or 12 cents.
You bet I actually once found the master receipt in one of the boxes that I bought from cvs they are paying 1.76 per 2 liter
Go to bjs and costco. It'll be the cheapest you can get. Even cheaper than from a distributer.
Stop and Shop has 2 litter coke varieties on sale for $.77 this week
I don't beleive that CVS really pays so much for bottles. You didn't specify the company, but if it's Pepsi then I know it's not true. I got it for cheaper and I ordered small orders from Pepsi (around 20-35 cases at a shot). When I asked my distributer why I can't get it as cheap as CVS, he told me that small businesses is an entirely different department from the big guys and they have their own price negotiations.
