Where can I buy individual packets of Crystal Light?

[mlbretscher]

I know I've seen this before (I promise I write it down this time, honest!), but now that I think I want to order some I can't find it. I got the Brita bottle (and the filters) and was wondering can you put the Crystal light into the Brita bottle or will it clog up the filter? I also thought I read you had to buy 50 packets at a time. But then I got to thinking that my family of 5 will be there for 8 days so we just might need that many (or maybe more!). This website is soooooo great-thanks for all your help!

Here is a website that was posted before. I added it to my favorites but didn't get a chance to order any yet.


Crystal Light Packets

Each box has 30 packets in it. It's $9.95 a box. You can also get a $5 off coupon from Discount Coffee.

They offer free shipping if you order $50 or more.

I ordered the Crystal Light and DH loves Gevalia coffee (it's cheaper there than from Gevalia).

Why don't you just get the regular tube with the little tub for 22/32 oz. mixing. Bring a film canister and after you open it, put the rest in the seal tight canister. That way you can just mix a couple pinches to each water (either bottled or counter of icewater). We're doing this in August, because we don't like the taste of the water fountains either.

How long did it take to ship? I'm leaving in 10 days and I wanted them before I leave!!! I am ordering in the morning if time permits!!!

2-3 days. They came via UPS and I had to sign for them.

www.netgrocer.com also has the singles...
they ship verrry quickly (usually via fedex!)

edited to add: they are 24 pkts for $5.50 (which comes out to a better deal than 30 for $9.95)

The singles from netgrocer are mixed with 8 oz. water. The On-The-Go packets are mixed with 20 oz. water. So they are still much cheaper than the ones @ netgrocer.

Here's the link for the larger packets:

i had not checked the volume that each packet makes... i see netgrocer also has the bigger ones (for 20 oz water) but they are over $12 for 30 packets! thanks for the heads' up! every few dollars counts!

Check around...........I found these at the local conveinent store when I went in to pay for gas. They were sitting on the counter and sold for 49cents a piece.

I wasnt even looking for them when I RAN into them. I had given up and settled for gatorade. However, since I found them I did pick some up.

Wow..I just looked at the Discount Coffee site at the 20 oz. packets. Kinda pricey for that. Called DH right away to tell him to look at the site because he works for Kraft and has been swearing up and down that these things are only sold to the public at this time as individual packets at hospitals, convenience stores, schools, etc. These Crystal Lite packs are causing a mighty stir...they're so popular and I must admit I love them too! I think they're great because I try to only drink one Diet Coke a day and when I have these packs to add to water I can usually stick to it!

Anyway, this is really interesting...anyone have another place they have found them? I LOVE proving DH wrong sometimes!!

I agree with Shergoof, we just did the exact same thing in May on our trip. A film canister holds I think about 2 1/2 to 3 of the small containers. We would go up get six cups of ice water for free, I actually took a small teaspoon to measure the proper amount for 22 oz drink and had a refreshing drink for next to nothing. I took about 3-4 different flavors of Crystal Light and it was great. You don't have to carry any types of bottle water or any containers.

Thanks for the tip on the minimus.biz web site. I, however, have not be able to get into it (perhaps it's been a little busy lately ). Anyone else have this problem? or perhaps it's my computor.
