Crystal Light alternatives?

[Deja Q]

I've enjoyed this product, even though it's $3.50 for 6 little tubs; each of which makes 2 quarts. (58 cents each) It's quite a bit more pricey than kool-aid but at least it's tasty without the sugar.

But the price has gone up to $4.50. At 75 cents per 2 quarts, I'm much better off sleazing down to Walmart to buy the generic diet Sprite knock-off which is 58 cents. I get a container for the liquid to be in, too. And you know I don't want to go to walmart...

What's the cost of sugar substitute?

Or should I stick to water?

Or kool-aid without any sugar sweet substance? It'll probably taste weird, but that's no problem! :D

Thanks!

1. Make sun-tea

with decaf tea bags, if you don't want the caffeine. A little lemon juice and some Equal or Splenda to sweeten. Or there are "store-brand" knockoffs of Crystal Lite that are cheaper.

My near BIL introduced me to a double-chocolate diet soda, made by Polar. Unfortunately, it's not for sale in my part of the country.

On edit: Sorry, you asked for the price of sugar subs. I don't know off-hand--I can get big boxes of the stuff from BJ's for a reasonable amount, but I don't remember at the moment what the cost is.

2. Wyler's Lite

Tastes MUCH better than Crystal Light and it costs around $1.99 for a container of 6 (2 qt) packets. It's the only thing I drink these days and I have always refused to drink ANY diet beverage. But, oh my, this stuff tastes gooood. Comes in Raspberry, Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, and Iced Tea. The tea is my fave

3. Thanks y'all!

I'll give them all a try! Looking forward to Wylers Lite, sounds quite inexpensive! But I love tea...
