What your soda habit costs in a year
Whichever side you’re on, a daily soda adds up fast. Here’s the simple math on a few common habits:
| Habit | Per day | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| One can from a multipack | about $0.60 | about $220 |
| One 20 oz bottle from a store | about $2.50 | about $910 |
| One fountain drink on the go | about $3.00 | about $1,100 |
Prices vary by store and region, but the pattern holds: buying in bulk and drinking at home costs a fraction of grabbing a bottle on the road.
Why your drink of choice matters for your health, too
A regular 12 oz cola has close to 40 grams of sugar, which is more than many health groups suggest for an entire day. Diet and zero-sugar versions cut the sugar but not the habit. Paying attention to what you drink each day is one of the easiest places to start feeling better and spending less.
