I'm a new woman now. I've stopped nursing the bottled water and I now......brace yourself......
go tap.
I fill up my awesome El Camino Hospital water bottle, or if that's dirty I grab the ol' green guy in the morning and I'm good to go for the day, with several refills from the tap of course.
I figured out how much I've been saving by cutting back my bottled water habit. Have a gander:
-35 bottles/case
-with CA redemption tax the case would = out to roughly $6.00
-I would go through about a case a week
-52 x $6 = $312 I'm now saving per year
In fact, it's more than that b/c I was very genereous with my bottled water & would share often.
SO......
Your challenge for Feb 3rd is not to give up bottled water altogether, but just try it for a day. Drink from the tap folks, drink from the tap.
This challenge will earn you 1 point should you be successful. And if you already steer clear of the plastic punch, then you have an easy point coming your way.
Make sure to leave a comment telling me you completed this challenge with honors.

Question: Am I allowed to drink filtered tap water from our fridge? The only reason I ask is because sometimes the water that comes directly from the tap is orange. I think a $30 filter that lasts almost the whole year is a better deal than the medical bills that might transpire from said orange water. Please advise.
I'm already a tap drinker, so I'll go ahead and comment early on this one for a point
Thanks!

I'm also already a tap water drinker, so I'll comment early too since it's basically done!
lindsay...$30 from a filter is much cheaper than a year's supply of bottled water, and much cheaper than dr's bills due to orange water consumption.
permission granted to go filter today.
danielle & rachelle...you are awesome! not only are you saving $, but the environment as well. feel free to hug a tree today :)
mmm, what if I drink from the tap at home, but bottled at work where it is supplied by the company? Do I get a point?
I drink from the tap as well. I keep my reusable bottles filled in the fridge because I like my water freezing cold. That was an easy point!
I'm already a tap drinker and my camelback is usually glued to my hand, so i've accomplished this challenge as well. can't wait to hear what the next one is :)
I resorted to the water fountain today. Thank you for saving me hundreds!
I'm a tap drinker, yay!
(It's the black acid that bankrupts the Carter Household. I rue the day you ask us to give that up!)
I am glad today is my "rest" day from Running , otherwise I would have failed this challenge. See I drive my running route ahead of time and stash bottled water in tress and bushes so I dont have to jog with them... I dont like staching my good water bottles, so I use the plastic ones. p.s. I did get a SUPER goos deal on bottle water at Albertsons though... so I don't feel too bad!
So I am a water brat. What can I say, I'm no tap drinker.
Luckily, with my current state of constant thirst I don't care so much. Mission accomplished.
Awesome! I did it, and thanks for the reminder that I should reach for tap before a bottle. I've been really lazy and grabbing a new bottle lately instead of filling up an old one. Thanks!
