Today's Tips:
Something to think about: Here in our city if you buy bottled water for a family of 4 it costs about $1700 a year. If you use tap water for that same amount of water, it costs $14.
Have you heard the joke that says, "He is such a good salesman that he could sale ice to an Eskimo?" Well, I think some good salesmen got together and said "Let's see if we can sell water to people who get it for almost free from their tap." ...And it worked. They did it. I don't know about you but there are an awful lot of things I would like to do with $1700.
Want water that taste as cool and crisp as a mountain stream? Pour your water into a jug and put it in the fridge overnight. All chlorine and chemical taste disappears and the water is delicious.

Thank you, thank you ,thank you!!
Bottled water is the most successful scam ever! We were brainwashed just like the next family , and 1 day I said this is just NUTZ! Why am I "buying" into this crap ? So I just stopped altogether. We have a very nice fridgy that does amazing this with the filter it came with and the water is cold and delicious right out of the dispenser. The crazy thing was , I could not get over having it from a bottle! This is how bad my whole family was brainwashed into this scam . So.... I started out be re-filling the plastic bottles and using those to wean myself back into the habit of good ole tap. And it worked! I re-programed my brain back into accepting the good old cheap water that we already have to pay for. Now , water is a staple at our house - WITHOUT THE PLASTIC BOTTLE!!
America needs to wake up like I did ( and apparently you never feel in this stupid trap , kudos! ) and get with the program. Companies are out to rape our hard earned dollars everyday - we must say NO to this BS and get back on track with reality.
Thank you again,

i have tried that idea, tawra, to put water in a jug and put in fridge to set overnite and well, i can still taste the chlorine and etc... not sure what i am doing wrong... my friend suggested to get one of those pur water canisters that use the filter and then try that and then do what you suggested...
maybe in my area, i need a little bit more of the filtering than most do...
we usually get our water from walmart, where we get refills for 25 cents a gallon from the culligan machine... i must say, its a real pain to make sure i get to walmart and hopefully the machine is not out of order bc of its needing service... and plus lugging all of those jugs back and forth to the store, not to mention the enormous amount of traffic, esp on sat and sun...
so, i am hoping to try this method as my friend has suggested and then maybe i can save some money... i might have to get a new filter once a month and spend a few extra minutes a day to make sure i get water that tastes really good but at least i will save $$$ ...
thanks for the advice tawra, jill and mike..
i really do appreciate it.. :D
