Or Spending Money to Save Money
The tap water in our area doesn’t taste very good. It is safe to drink, but it has a faint taste of chlorine. For a long time we bought 2 1/2 gallon jugs of water to use in our kitchen and cases of bottled water to take with us when we went to work and school. We bought between 12 – 15 jugs of water a month as well as 2 cases of 1/2 liter bottles of water. One day I added up the total cost of our water each month as was shocked to find that we spent an average of $45.00 a month on bottled water! I decided to buy a Brita Ultra Max, which is a counter top filtration system. It was on sale at Target for $25.00 and included one filter. I also bought a 6 pack of filters on sale for $25.00. The filter needs to be changed every 2 months so it will cost me less than $50.00 to use this for the first year and less than $30.00 for each subsequent year. Then I went to amazon.com
and found a great sale on stainless steel water bottles and bought one for each member of the family. I spent approximately $35.00 on the stainless steel bottles*. So for less than what I had been spending in a two month period on bottled water I have provided my family with drinkable water for more than a year.

*My sister sent us each a Sigg water bottle for Christmas. The solid green water bottle is one of the Amazon purchased bottles.
