Is there a better loop I could write to reduce database queries?

Below is some code I've written that is effective, but makes too many database queries. Is there a way I could optimize and reduce the number of queries but have conditional statements still be as effective as below?

I pasted the code repeated a few times just for good measure.

echo "<h3>Pool Packages</h3>";

    echo "<ul>";

    foreach ($items as $item):  

        $this->db->where('id', $item['id']);
        $query = $this->db->get('items')->row();

            if ($item['quantity'] > 1 && $item['quantity'] == TRUE && $query->category == "Pool Packages") {
                $newprice = $item['quantity'] * $query->price;                                  
                $totals[] = $newprice;  
            }
            else { 
                $newprice = $query->price;                  
                $totals[] = $newprice; 
            }

            if ($query->category == "Pool Packages") {                          
                echo "<li>" . $query->name . " (QTY: " . $item['quantity'] . " x = " . str_ireplace(" ", "", money_format('%(#10n', $newprice)) . ")</li>";         
            }

            else { }

    endforeach;

    echo "</ul>";

    echo "<h3>Water Features</h3>"; 

    echo "<ul>";

    foreach ($items as $item):  

        $this->db->where('id', $item['id']);
        $query = $this->db->get('items')->row();

            if ($item['quantity'] > 1 && $item['quantity'] == TRUE && $query->category == "Water Features") {
                $newprice = $item['quantity'] * $query->price;                                  
                $totals[] = $newprice;  
            }
            else { 
                $newprice = $query->price;                  
                $totals[] = $newprice; 
            }

            if ($query->category == "Water Features") {         
                echo "<li>" . $query->name . " (QTY: " . $item['quantity'] . " x = " . str_ireplace(" ", "", money_format('%(#10n', $newprice)) . ")</li>";
            }
            else { }



    endforeach;

    echo "</ul>";

It goes on beyond this to several more categories, but I don't know how to handle looping through this best. Thanks!
