How To Save Money On Energy Drinks?

One of the best ways to save money on energy drinks is to buy in bulk. Sometimes you can get discounts, and some even provide free shipping when you purchase a case at a time.

You can also look for online coupon codes that offer discounts for energy drink purchases. You can type the “energy drink brand’s name + coupons” to start your online research for coupons.

You may have to spend some time to come across the right coupon code that works, but it can be fun to do a little extra digging and save some money.

Moreover, instead of buying energy drinks at a costly price at any gas station, try buying them in advance at stores that offer them at a cheaper rate.

Look for promotional offers going on in your locality. If there is any sale going on like the buy two get one free type, then don’t hesitate to utilize the opportunity 😉

Also, instead of drinking the whole can at one go, try limiting yourself to half a can only. Usually, most energy drinks have about two to two and a half servings in each can.

So you can consume some amount and leave the rest. You can keep the can in a sealed container and put it inside the refrigerator to keep it fresh.

In addition, you can also buy affordable energy drinks that cost you less in the long run. For example,  40 servings of G Fuel costs around $36. With that, the final cost of one drink turns out to be only $1. However, with Red Bull, you have to pay about $2 for an 8.4 fl oz can.

So, one serving can of Red Bull is almost two times more costly than a serving of G Fuel. We highly recommend you read our guide on why G Fuel is worth the money.

And you can also make your own DIY energy drinks to save money if you can make them at a cheaper cost.

Final Thoughts

To sum up, the cheap alternatives to Red Bull include Monster Mango Loco, Tweaker Energy Drink, Rockstar Recovery, V8 +Energy Drink Peach Mango, Reign Total Body Fuel Razzle Berry, and C4 Smart Energy Drink. You can also use 40 servings of G Fuel, which will cost you less than Red Bull in the long run.
