Nix the bottled water…

Mucho Moolah, Monday's Money Saving Tips!

June 28th, 2010 by Emily

Well, your favorite southern couple is happy to say that we are now a family of 3, with our daughter Claire born the weekend before last.  With new routines and schedules in mind, this tip will be short and sweet.  We’re recommending that you stop buying bottled water, in favor for either water straight from the tap or from a filtration system!

Not only is it a good choice for saving money, since the cost of bottled water is ridiculous, but also, the plastic that the bottles are made from fills up landfills if you don’t recycle them.  As an added punch in the gut, the plastic bottle is made from oil, in case you didn’t know, and so, is yet another reason to look into alternatives. 

I know some of you might like the portability of the bottled water, but you can buy a reusable water bottle and just wash it!  When I go to the gym, I use a reusable water bottle, that I fill straight from the tap (tap water has fluoride in it, something a lot of people are lacking for their teeth right now because of bottled water).  When I get home, I wash the bottle and let it dry, so that it will be ready for the next trip to the gym.

It’s just something to think about.  There are many good reasons to switch from bottled water, but the monetary savings definitely tops my list!
