That's sounds like an experiment to me! Or even a Strawberry Lemon/Limeade? Real Lemonade or Limeade made with Splenda? That’s sounds like an experiment to me! Or even a Strawberry Lemon/Limeade?

Those are on my grocery list and so is the Ocean Spray mix up. Those are all a lot cheaper than buying bottles of the same drinks, and are made with mostly water so I don't have to worry about not drinking enough water. Buying things that are expensive without a coupon irks me in a big way, even if they're BOGO. I love Publix but it still almost hurts to buy their BOGO deals without coupons :) but I"d rather get 2 for 1 than buy the same items at regular price later. Thanks for the support! I appreciate any and all tips I can get. Water with lemon and lime is how I drink it when we eat out. I actually prefer lime...and when I drink...or drank...diet Coke I loved lime in it. Brittany,

I do have to say I don't like the taste of tea. Aren't I awful, and should I move to another state and give up my Southerner status ;)? Just kidding. I've found that I can buy the Walmart knock-off of Crystal Light and Sugar Free Kool Aid so I think...pray...I can get used to those easily enough that I won't crave my Diet Mountain Dew so badly. I gave them up for almost a year a long time ago, and then one drink and I was a goner. I've never been an alcohol drinker and I think it's so strange that this is my horribly bad challenge but it is. I do LOVE Splenda though! My dad is diabetic (I think I already said that) so we've been consumers of that for years and it's wonderful. Thank you for your support! I look forward to hearing more of your tips! Angela,

Over the last several months, I have found some sodas that are caffinee free (Fanta). I don't care for the taste of water either. I mostly only drink it if it is ice cold. I have a tap filter which does help me. I love sweet tea too! And is all technicality, this has no "fat" but calories. Tea alone has very few calories, but the sugar added does. I've tried Splenda and it's okay tasting in tea. Hope my thoughts help. :) I too am a soda junkie. Over the last several months, I have found some sodas that are caffinee free (Fanta).

Unfortunately, it is a constant struggle. As far as the drinks go I am not much of a soda person, but I do drink Crystal Light, but when I recently had to buy them B1G1 with no coupons it irked me, lol. Sometimes a few slices of fresh lemon or lime in your water can be nice. Good luck to you. Unfortunately, it is a constant struggle.
