The picture is quite obviously 12 packs, and around $2.50 / 12 pack was common south of Chicago around that time, too

I remember 5/$10 sales, but that goes back into the late 90s and maybe very early 2000s.

I still wait for those sales to come back. I don’t know who in their right mind pays current prices, it’s insane. Over a dollar a can? You gotta be kidding me. I still remember at a local grocery store before I moved out, it was 5/$5 12-packs. I only saw that once or twice, and have been holding our ever since. After I moved out, I remember being the kid in line with like 50 of the store brand 2L that were like $1 or less. Keep in mind, the 20oz bottles were already over a dollar at that point, so under a dollar for a 2L was hilarious to me.
