How to be Lavishly Cheap-----Tip 1

These days, the trend is to waltz around town with a water bottle either: in your hand, popping out of your bag, attached to a bike, on your desk, by your bedside, stacked in your refrigerator, and rolling around on your passenger seat. I am sure you are also aware of the trend of inflation. What is the cost of the average priced bottled water? Arrowhead: $1.29 Fiji: 1.99, etc.
If you consider all the places you need to bring and occasionally drink your water bottle, you'd probably have to buy 2 to 3 a day. If you are lucky to live in a city where your drinking water hasn't gone to shit, then fill em up, kids, by god, give them a good fill. However, if you live in LA, and your water tastes metallic and stenchful, then you should go to the local grocery store and fill up your bottles at the Water Bungalows (those glacier stands beside the children's ride.) It's only .20 cents a gallon and 80 cents fills up 10-12 large bottles. People, if you are truly water enthusiasts, you'll fall in love with these things, for real.

If you doubt the refreshingness of this idea, you can just go ahead being broke on your nasty aquatica habits. It's really none of my business.
