I’m constantly looking for ways to save money, especially since
deciding to stay home with the baby. I knew it would be difficult on us losing
my paycheck, but I was confident that we could cut spending to help the
transition. So here are five ways I’ve found that help save money!
1. Stop Buying Bottled Water
We drink a lot of bottled water in my house. In fact, my
daughter drinks nothing but water when she is at home. We were spending a small
fortune in bottled water and much of it was going to waste. I was constantly
finding half empty bottles hidden around the house, having been there for God
only knows how long. Where we live the tap water has a nasty sulfur taste so
drinking straight from the faucet wasn’t an option. We tried several regular
water bottles and while they were great for taking out and about, they just didn’t
work well at home. Finally, one day by chance I came across these awesome
Re-duce bottles. They work wonderfully! I wash them in the dishwasher and after
six months the design is still vibrant with no peeling or wear and tear. We
simply fill the bottles with tap water filtered with a PUR filter and place
them in the fridge, refilling when needed. My daughter loves them and we’ve
saved tons!
