What is your favorite cheap soda,, when money is tight?

My Top 5:

1. Canada Dry Ginger Ale
2. Vernor's
3. Big K Red creme soda
4. Welch's Grape Soda
5. RC Cola

...I can't say these are necessarily cheap, but these are the ones I'll go out of my way for:

1) Mexican Coke - the kind in the glass bottle @ Circle K
2) Bubble Up - tastes just like 7UP used to when I was a kid
3) Sprecher Root Beer - from Milwaukee, baby!
4) Jones Strawberry Lime - I haven't had one in months. I hope they still make it.
5) John's Rootbeer - all other soda on the face of the earth could perish if I could just get this in bottles! Only available at John's Rootbeer Stand, Waukesha, Wisconsin.

sadly, i like expensive soda. I loooooove Henry Weinhard's Root Beer! wish I had some right now. we only buy it when it is on sale.

i know i'm cheating a little, but i love Coconut Juice. it comes in cans over at dino mart, so i count it.

does diet coke/pepsi count as cheap?

for funsies, i'll just assume it doesn't.

cactus cooler (do they still make it?)
welch's grape
the generic strawberry cola from safeway
hawaiian punch (yeah, it's not soda, but so what?)

i don't have a #5.

[weener]

I don't drink much soda, but I can go for a root beer or Sioux City Sarsaparilla once in awhile. Mmmmm.

[mancopter]

Also probably cheating, but I can go through a 12 pack of Big K Sparkling Water in a day. I pretend it's Natty Light and it glides down my gullet.

I am also partial to Big K Red Cream Soda, Grape Crush, and Hawaiian Punch.

I like the fruity, I suppose.

[Quezo]

Dude, you are so right about those cheap cans of sparkling water tasting like cheap beer. so true

I like Weinhardts Private Reserve, but that is anotehr topic altogether...

Dude, I haven't heard of or seen Cactus Cooler in over 20 years! Was that an Arizona only thing or what?

edit,

Wikipedia says it is still around
