Are you thinking I must have been rather thirsty while shopping today? Maybe I was, but I think the Powerade is a great price! I like to keep this stuff on hand for sports games, breaks from yardwork, and sick tummies.

Back in Jan. when Smith's had their case lot sale, the Powerade was $0.69 each. Wal-Mart sells their 32 oz. Powerade for $1.67 each. Costco's Kirkland brand sports drink is $0.42 each for a 20 oz. bottle.

How do I remember all of this? I'm looking at the Northern NV Price List that is linked over on the side bar. It helps me know when something is a good deal or not.
