Yes, there is quite a lot of waste with RO systems. They are incredible when it comes to their purification capabilities, no denying it, but the water waste just doesn't make it a worthwhile solution, not in my opinion at least.
Why not try a filter pitcher? I don't know any specifically for salt water, but there should be some that can handle it too, I guess. You could even install a small countertop water filter, should work just as well. With classic-style cartridges, no RO membrane involved.
I'm pretty sure that you can improvise a purification system of your own too, I know I once read a neat guide, I'll look for it and link it here if I do find it. Nonetheless, whatever you do, steer clear from the wasteful RO system.
