HOLY MF'ing Thirst Quenching! WATER:
3 bottles a day at $1.25 a bottle. In a week, I spend about $16.25 on water bottles. and in a typical year, that’s $780 dollars (48 work weeks). COFFEE: About 15 dollars a week times 52 weeks (cause I drink lattes whether I’m working or not), totaling $720 dollars. Smoothies I spend about $18 a week on smoothies. Multiplied by 52 weeks is $925 dollars. So to quench my thirst, if I do a VERY conservative calculation from the numbers above, it will cost me $2425 to quench my goddamned thirst this year. WOW. Time for me to make some changes in my spending habbits. $2425 is a hell of a lot of debt I could be paying down or a vacation I can be taking. Gawd damn. On just the water Alone, I’ve bought a BRITA water filter/pitcher today that I’ve taken to work. Today I saved $3.75 in water (I drink 3 bottles a day at work). So the pitcher is half way paid for Every two months I need to replace the filtuer (5 bucks), so with 6 filter swaps a year, that’s 30 bucks vs. $780 bucks. Now I just need to figure my Smoothie and Coffee lifestyle changes Damn…. A few small changes makes a hell of a lot of difference. What’s your water/Latte factor like? | |

Ex-Moderator | I make my own tea at work in the mornings and try my best to bring water from home as I don't like the water from the city I work in. |

I can only mention water, since I put a lot of effort into not drink my calories, I got issues. Anyway, I like the taste of Nestle water, which I lucked out cause Sparkletts is my favorite. Nestle 24 pk, cheapest is $3.88. | |

Technically, you have to take coffee out of the equation. It's a diarretic. It's not quenching anything mister! MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop!

I have a PUR filter, but I don't like the taste as much as bottled. Fortunately my work supplies water, so I can drink that.
But I also drink sparkling water. I need to find a way to make my own seltzer. We haven't gotten to beer yet... My Legacy

4-can min red bull a day!?! Geez! Why not just try crystal meth? It'd be a cheaper habit. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Saying that it last 2 weeks , that's 100.8 USD a year. So you'd save about 70 dollars a year going to Brita filters--not a huge savings actually. So your solution ain't half bad financially. Though environmentally that's 624 plastic bottles. | |

It's far more commonly served in Europe than still water. I found it to be gross gross gross! How does it get sparkling? No, nevermind, don't answer that. I'm afraid we'll get XxaxX's wikipedia itch going. | |
