Drink Water

I don't mean individual bottles. They are a scourge on our purses and our environment. But excluding individual serving sizes, water is nearly always cheaper than any alternative. Our local, state and federal governments spend millions to make sure we have clean tap water to drink. Whenever possible, take advantage of this resource.

If you truly can’t trust the water at your home, filter it. Still cheaper than soda, juice, milk, beer, etc.

At restaurants, order ice water (with a lemon slice if you prefer) and save 20%-30% on your lunch tab versus ordering iced tea or soda (which will be made from that same tap water). If you’re afraid to drink the water served at the restaurant, consider that they are preparing the food in the same water. If you wouldn't drink the water, you wouldn't eat the food prepared in it, right?

You need water. Eight glasses a day is the general wisdom. Drink it and save money every day.
