    Turn an old refrigerator into a kegerator. This will save you money if you drink as much as you normally would with cans or bottles. If this ends up with you drinking more beer because of the easy access, it will not save you money and get you in constant trouble with your wife.

    For soda, if anyone runs across an old soda fountain set-up, the syrup bags cost around $40 for name brands which makes about 25 gallons of soda. This is 47 2 liters. If you're getting 2 liters for 99 cents, then this breaks even considering the CO2 you have to use. But, you don't have to keep going to get more soda for awhile.

    Buying in bulk and planning ahead saves money over time. I shop a lot at restaurant supply stores. They are cheaper than Sam's Club and Costco almost all the time. If you go in with a couple other households, you can split all of the bulk items up every week so you're not stuck with, say, a 20 pound bag of onions.
