Fun article, but one detail near the end made it hard for me to believe in the author's bargain-hunting credibility: who on earth would pay $2 for a Bud Light to take onto a bus? If you're willing to pay $12-a-sixer for mildly alcoholic water, then I've got a bus ticket from LA to Honolulu you might be interested in - wifi included.

Maybe he meant a 40 ounce. I mean, when you go ghetto, you might as well go all the way.

The $2 Bud Light would be oilcan size (24oz), usually sold with a convenient, can-sized paper bag to use as a koozy. So it's still $6 for a sixer.

Obviously I still take the bus.

Considering New York prices, she did very well ! Two-bucks is cheap. There are Airbuses that fly from LA to Honolulu in case you haven't heard. Credibility?
