As of late, I’m all about saving money.  This year has been very hard on us as a family, and I am really looking forward to 2009 coming to a close; but unfortunately, we still have a ways to go yet.  Until that happens, I’m doing my best to save the shekels.

However, no one wants to be a miser at the expense of good tasting food and beverages.  If no one eats or drinks it, things that go to waste still waste money. So I have high hopes for something really cool that I just saw on the ‘net.

Enter the SodaStream Fountain Jet Starter Kit. It allows you to make your own soda from your own tap water.  I’m not entirely certain how well this is going to taste, or if you HAVE to use just their syrups (can I, for instance, put some fizz in my choice of orange juice or perhaps some Arizona (or my OWN iced) Tea?

We’ll have to wait and see. I’ve got a review sample whisking its way to my door, and I’ll have a review up shortly.  I’ve got plans to do a quick unboxing, and some video related taste tests between the pop we make, and some nationally available brands. Stay tuned.  The review should hit the site by the beginning of August!
