I don't drink coffee or smoothies. I have a brita filter and I just fill up my water bottle with that filtered water. I never buy bottled water. I'm thrifty as hell.

And I think Spring Hill is even worse than the immediate Tampa area.

Adorable !

By the way, yesterday I was in my local Asian supermarket and I saw those cute Japanese dolls you like with your pageboy haircut. Somebody had just snapped up the one with red hair and I swear to gawd it was only 5,99 Euro. I wondered if the Org ever managed to find you one of those when you were looking for it a while back

I drink tap water and make my own coffee, most of the time. any other drink I get is when I buy junk food combos that come with coke.
Bottled water tastes funny to me, but I'll drink it from time to time.
Brita is not as good as you think. try keeping the water in the fridge for a while and look at the top to see all the stuff floating there
Unless the tap water is really bad, there's no real advantage in drinking bottled water. It's all a scam IMO.

well, i'm sure they're are exceptions.

but hey, some bottled water are from the taps of cities with really good water quality.

though, if i were you i would get some type of water filtration system intstalled.

We're renting this house, but when we do buy a home, that's definitely on the list.

I rarely buy coffee when I'm out. Good quality coffee is too cheap where I live to justify the expense. Even when I lived at home in the States, I lived my adult life in Miami, and only brewed coffee the old fashioned way with a stove top expresso maker from the corner Bodega, and good old trusty Cuban "Cafe Bustelo" .

My only vice for a while (at home and in Europe) was "Chai Tea"and/or "Yogi Tea" for approx $5 a serving. Once I figured out how simple the recipe was for this (basically boiling a black tea bag in some milk with spices), I said goodbye to those too. Then once I started going to Asian supermarkets here, I found that there was ready made marsala tea spice available for like 70 cents that I could spoon into boiling water with a black tea bag and milk . A 50 ct. box of black Westminster ceylon tea is 65 cents, milk is 55 cents a liter, my sugar sub 1,69 a bag. When it's all said & done, I churn out 50 tall skinny cups of Chai for 17 euro cents (about 26 cenct US) per serving . Now I only have coffee when I'm out if I'm having a set date with one of my friends. Otherwise I "celebrate the moments of my life" in my own living room with coffee and tea from my kitchen

Bustelo is the shit! And way cheaper than fancy brands.

I drink good ole tap water out of a reuseable bottle

Coffee I make at home, but I usually buy a cup per day too

now my annual sushi debt is something I'd rather not discuss

Ottensen said:

NO!!!!!


No one has seen anything even close!!!!!

GRRRRR.

I'll keep looking.

About four 1.5 litre bottles of mineral water a day = $365 a year

I should add that today in Thailand marks the beginning of 90 days where the monks must stay in the temples and as laypeople my father in law, Mon, and I will not consume any alcohol for that same period, until the full moon on October 14th. That should cut down most of our expenditure on beverages.
