We like our caffeine as much as the next person but sometimes, you’re just running a little low on money and need a cheap caffeine fix. Well, you’re in luck as we’re going to give you a few ideas as to how you can get your daily caffeine in with only a few dollars. This will prove to be quite handy for those of you who are always on the run and sometimes, you forget your money at home or need to make ends meet until your next payday. Ready to find out how and where you can get your cheap caffeine fix? If so, read on and find out!

Coffee

Would any list about cheap caffeine sources be complete without the mention of one of the world’s favorite drinks, coffee? Nope! Best of all, it’s great when you’re running low on money because you can swing by almost any gas station or convenience store in the world and grab a cup of coffee. It should only run you a dollar or two and is just as good as making it yourself. Just stay away from places like Starbucks when you’re running low on money.

No-Doz

We’re not sure if you’ve ever heard of these or not but they’re basically a caffeine pill that will help keep you awake. You can find them (or something similar) in most retail stores, pharmacies, and gas stations. Get a whole bottle of these and keep them in your car, purse, or office for those days when you need a little bit of caffeine for cheap.

Soda

Soda is a great source of caffeine especially if you’re drinking something like Mountain Dew or Mello Yello. In most instances, you can grab a can of soda for around .75 cents or stock up in advance. Try to limit your soda intake to just one a day or whenever you need it the most as soda can be bad for you in many different ways over time. We know, it’s a “duh!”

Energy Drinks

Finally, you have the option of drinking energy drinks. Don’t waste your money on the expensive ones like Red Bull though when you can get a Monster or NOS for about $2. If you head over to a discount store like Big Lots though, you can find off brand energy drinks or flavors for bigger companies like Monster that didn’t work out well. Sure, it may sound a little sketchy but you can literally buy these for around $1 each. That’s a great price, huh?

So, the next time you’re in a rush and need a quick caffeine fix, consider grabbing one of these drinks. They don’t cost an arm and a leg as long as you play your cards right and all of them are very accessible regardless of where you live. Now, what are you waiting for?

Let’s go get our caffeine fix in and be productive for the rest of the day. While we do that, let’s also working on pinching pennies, saving money, and living a very good life!
