Here’s what buying vs owning actually costs per glass.

Most households buy soda the same way every week.

A few bottles. A few cans. Another trip to the store.

It feels small in the moment… until you zoom out.

So we asked a simple question 🤔

What actually costs less: buying soda weekly, or owning it at home?


Let’s break it down for regular soda-drinking households:


If you buy soda water regularly:

• Average cost per can: ₱25–₱50

• Even when bought in bulk: ~₱33.25 per 330ml can


That cost doesn’t stop after one purchase.

It repeats every time you restock, week after week.


If you own with Sodarizer:

• CO₂ refill cost: ₱500–₱800

• Carbonates 55–60 liters of water

• Cost per liter: ₱9–₱14

• Cost per 330ml glass: as low as ₱3–₱5


That’s about ₱28–₱30 saved per glass when compared to bulk soda prices. And up to ₱45 per glass when compared to higher-priced cans.


WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SAVE?


💰 Money

For households drinking around 2 glasses a day (about 730 glasses a year), that’s up to ₱20,000 in annual savings, depending on how often you drink soda and what price you’re comparing against.


⏰ Time & effort

Owning soda water at home also removes a lot of everyday friction:

✅ No weekly soda runs

✅ No carrying heavy bottles

✅ No realizing you’re out mid-week

It becomes something you have, not something you constantly need to remember to buy.


🗑️ Waste

Buying soda weekly creates more single-use waste over time. Owning reduces it:

✅ Fewer single-use cans and bottles

✅ Less clutter at home

✅ A more sustainable routine

Soda doesn’t feel expensive because of one purchase.

The cost adds up because it’s a repeated purchase.


Owning the ability to make soda at home changes that pattern: from repeated spending to a system that works quietly in the background.


If soda is already part of your routine, owning it just makes sense.
