This is a 2017 ad for a sale price, 20 cans, $4.99.

This is the first 20 can pack I found at today’s price. Might cost a little more than regular coke because sugar free, but it costs a shitload more than the 2017 price.

    12 pack at the Smiths here is 11.99. WinCo is 8.98. no clue what Walmart is because I rarely shop there. The sale at Smith's is buy 2 get 1 free. So makes it 7.99 a 12 pack.

    That is from Walmart. No idea why the price is so high.

    When you look at the Walmart app, after you search for something you need to pick either the "in-store" option or double check the seller. Walmart runs an online marketplace where you can get things from sellers other than Walmart. That's why the soda is so expensive.

    Name brand cola is no longer purchased in my household. I try to just not buy it period, but when I do, Sam's cola is the drink of choice. Coke priced themselves out of my refrigerator. Even though I do think it is a superior product, no way in hell am I paying what they want me to.

    Genuine question from European: do you consider $1 per can outrageous?!

    20 cans for $5 is absurdly cheap for me

    For a 12 oz/300ml? Yeah, that gets into crazy territory.

    But we're in crazy land right now. My local Walmart? 8.50 for a 12 pack. 70 cents a can, so not full loony. But a far cry from this picture a decade ago with under 20 cents a can.

    Part of that is the power of government subsidized high fructose corn syrup, yeah. It's in a lot of American food and makes a huge difference in pricing healthy vs highly processed foods.
