Sports Mama Tip: Save Money on Sports Drinks

Athletes love sports drinks, right? I know mine do! Save money (and time!) by using the powdered mix. We've been using the Gatorade brand for about a month now, and the boys love it. So much so that they're even taking it in their lunches.


I'm purchasing the big 3lb. tub (not the single serve packs) for about $8 at Target. It's enough to make 6 gallons. Or in sports mama terms, it's enough to fill 24 Gatorade bottles! Imagine going to your local convenient store and purchasing 24-32oz. bottles of the ready-to-drink kind. You would easily spend at least three times as much as you would paying for the powder. We've only tried two flavors thus far; Glacier Freeze and Lemon Lime- all three boys prefer the Glacier Freeze. Those are the only two that I've seen.


I definitely love saving money. I also love not having to make an extra pit stop on the way to the boys' games for drinks. Especially when their games are before 9am!

I hope this tip was helpful. Make sure to check back frequently for more sports mama tips!






*** Update: We've also tried the Orange flavor, but Glacier Freeze still continues to be their favorite!
