Forget about energy drinks with respect to exercising. Caffeine is mildly ergogenic, but it is less expensive to get it in tea or coffee. Better yet, do not use it. You do not need to buy expensive recovery drinks for your post-exercise protein shake. Have a protein shake with about 15 or 20 grams of blended whey protein and 40 or 50 grams of high glycemic carbohydrates (like sugar).

The expense of recovery drinks does not come from the carbohydrates they contain but from the proteins. Protein is expensive, especially if you are buying the best kind of protein powder that is made from microfiltered, ion-exchanged whey protein isolates and ultrafiltered whey protein concentrate. Therefore, you may not be saving as much money as you think by making your own. If you do serious strength training twice a week, a 5 pound canister of RecoverX or something similar will last you for a couple of months.
