Walgreens stocks quite a few varities of single serving packets. They call them "singles to go" and are made by Wyler's and Hawaiian Punch. We only buy the sugar free, caffeine free ones that are 5 calories each, with no carbs and a miniscule amount of sodium. Flavors like kiwi-strawberry, lemonade, pink lemonade, raspberry lemonade, peach tea, fruit juicy red, sunsplash orange...
8 16.9 oz packets cost $1 everyday. Best deal I've found, and there's a nice variety of flavors, so you're not always drinking the same thing.

Wyler's used to have a 50 pack of the cool rasberry flavor for $5 at walgreens but I haven't seen those in a while. All of the Wyler's flavors are good IMO

Thanks for the suggestions! Walgreens had 50 packets for $5, half price of the 10 for $2. I'm happy with that. We either refill water bottles for 25 cents a gallon or I drink from the filter at work, so the cost of drinks is pretty much the packets themselves, and I may use 5-7 packets a day. This price point is perfect.
They only had one box (cranberry), so I plan to hit up another one soon. Do NOT buy their half liter plastic water jugs - they are worthless. The cap doesn't let the flow of water through, so I have to drink from it capless. Back they go. Walmart's plastic jugs are great.
I find I like Wiler's (Walgreens' brand) better than Crystal Light. It has a lighter, softer taste to it. The filter at work puts out horrific, acidic, metallic water that is (to me) undrinkable plain. Tasted it with a packet yesterday and it is decent (the water at home tastes better with the packets).
Plan to hit up the 99 cent store also one of these days, but until then I'll grab 2-3 more of the Walgreens packets. Thanks!
