la croix on the cheap

March 12, 2008 10:30 PM

where can i find la croix sparkling water for cheaper than i am now? i live in houston, texas. at my local grocer, it's around 4 bucks for a 12 pack. i've tried google, but after shipping it doesn't get any cheaper than what i have.

incidentally, i'd rather not leave houston to get it, but money-saving trips within the area would be welcome.

Have you checked your local Costco? They usually beat normal grocery store prices, though the membership fee might negate your savings for the first year or so depending on how fast you drink the stuff.

Does it have to be that brand? Cause I'm a fan of the sparkling water, too, and store brands are pretty decent and much cheaper. If you haven't tried them, give it a shot.

A cheap store-brand club soda (plain club soda ... I know la croix has flavored drinks too) will set you back about 59¢ / liter. It's cheap and definitely good. I won't say it's great, but it's a lot cheaper than the german-italian-french sparkling waters. I think my pubilx store (chain from Florida) has 1 liter bottles for 59¢ and 2 liters for 69¢ or 99¢.

Seconding Costco -- it carries La Croix for cheaper than that.
