I am able to use my Tesco clubcard tokens and get this Soda Stream for nothing http://www.tesco.com/direct/sodastream-genesis-drinksmaker-chilly-red/211-5968.prd?skuId=211-5968&fromRV=true

I currently drink 2/3 600ml bottles of Pepsi Max (sometimes Seven-up diet) each day. Each bottle costs about £1.15. I don't like the big bottles. I am fed up lugging the bottles home and they take up a shelf in the fridge (got about 30 bottles at present) and they take up the best part of a bin bag each week.

Question

How much £££ do the soda streams to 'run' per week or month? There is no point in me using my tokens on something that is going to cost a fortune to run.

Thanks for any help - off to play with my Kindle Fire but will be back later.

I once bought a soda stream, thinking it would save me money etc. etc.
We bought the soda stream, the bottles, the gas, the concentrate, and to be honest, I wish I hadn't bothered.
I ended up giving it away to a charity shop, it was more trouble than it was worth. Having said that, make your own mind up and don't be swayed by our experience.
Not sure about the gas, but the concentrate for cola, etc is bout £3.50 and makes 12L.
It used to taste horrible though...

From what both of you have said it probably isn't really going to save money. I have a habit of buying 'gadgets' and have a cupboard of them. I used the smoothie maker twice - much too fiddly to clean.

I will keep my tokens and buy something later. Meantime I will try chopping up the plastic bottles and see if that helps.
From Sodastream website.
When you buy your SodaStream Drinksmaker, a full 60Litre CO2 gas cylinder is included. This will typically last you around 3 months, depending on your drinks consumption. Once you have run out of gas, you can exchange you empty gas cylinder for a full one, paying only the cost of the gas refill.
You can exchange your empty cylinder for a new one either online or instore.
Direct Delivery – Order a gas exchange for £9.99 online

pixie - I love the taste of Pepsi Max but they don't do that flavour. I don't drink tea or coffee in the house and don't drink alcohol, so this (and Scottish tap water) is my main drink.

chrisgel - I will look into that. I will do some calculating and make a decision
