Save money drinking clean water with a water bobble

water bobble

Bottled water costs about $1.50. Cases of water usually cost $5 and you only get 24-36 bottles. We use millions of gallons of oil each year producing disposable water bottles that usually end up in landfills.

Brita or Pur water filters are great options. You have to refill them, and wait for the water to filter through before you can pour a glass, but you can’t take the filter with you.

There’s a better solution: Water Bobble. It’s a $10 water bottle with a filter attached to the spout. It filters the water as you drink solving both the portability issue with water filters and the cost of bottled water.

They last for 300 fills (about 40 gallons of water). Filter replacements are only $5 and come in a variety of colors.

Check out the water bobble.

P.S. This makes a great Christmas Gift!

Quitting Soda: A Progress Update

Not too long ago (a little over 2 weeks) I quit soda. There are many obvious and not so obvious reasons why I decided to quit.

Quitting soda is probably one of the best things you can do for yourself. I’ve already saved about $100 by not drinking soda and if you’re really interested, I have a counter on http://mattg.me showing my progress in terms of dollars, cents, and time. I also feel soo much better. Without such a large intake of sugars and high fructose corn syrup I feel a weight being lifted off of my shoulders, and probably my belly too.

As of right now it’s been 2 weeks 23 hours 24 minutes and 53 seconds since I quit drinking soda.

In lue of soda, I’ve began drinking a lot of tea, water, juice, and anything I can pulverize in a blender (mostly smoothies, however, margaritas work too).

I highly recommend trying to go soda free for at least a week. Give it a try!
