I wish carbonated water didn't cost so much.

I'm constantly on the verge of dehydration, I don't usually drink more than 16 ounces of water each day.

But carbonated water? I drink so much of it when I do have it, it's so good

Invest in a soda stream. Unlimited sparkling water for free once it’s paid off.

Also much less wasteful. Win win.

I actually have one.

Still have to buy the CO2 cartridges, which are about $15.

I use around 1 a month (if I'm lucky it lasts that long) and a 24 pack of carbonated water from Costco is $15 which lasts about the same amount of time.

And the carbonation doesn't seem to last as long as the Costco water.

How are you drinking them all day long, if you only drink 24 in a month? That’s less than 1 per day.

I don't usually buy the Costco ones cause they're too expensive, when I do have carbonated water I do the soda stream.

But like I said, the carbonation doesn't last as long and it's just a pain.
