Drink to your (Frugal) Health

Want to cut calories from your diet, reduce the number of artificial ingredients your family consumes, improve the look and feel of your skin, and save money, too? Start drinking water instead of soda, juice, or artificial fruit drinks!

Donnie and I use a Brita water filter, which makes our water taste better and (hopefully!) rids it of impurities. Even though we almost never buy bottled water, we still seem to have a huge collection of bottles (leftover from work events, family parties, etc.). We just run those through the dishwasher, fill them from the Brita pitcher, and stash them in the fridge. It’s convenient, healthful, and cheap—three things I happen to like!
