58. Buy a Soda Stream!

Wed May 21, 2025, 05:30 PM

May 21

I have never been a soda drinker. I did drink flavored seltzer…it was too expensive and then the recycling. More than a decade ago I bought the soda stream, make my seltzer then add a lemon, lime or orange. Zip on calories and better for you. The carbonated cylinders aren’t cheap, about 14 dollars when you exchange the used one……but each cylinder gives you 60 liters! You can make soda by adding their flavors, they are carbonated at a higher speed than plain seltzer so they don’t last as long, but still cheaper in the long run.
