Drink water? Save money? YES! Think about it. When you go to the ‘fridge to get something to drink, what is it you reach for? Juices? Soda? If so, try this simple money saving trick: drink water!
The key is to catch yourself before you take a swig of that expensive drink. Here’s an idea: tape a note to the handle of your refrigerator door that says: “What are you thinking? Go get some water!” We are creatures of habit. You have to stop yourself from drinking the sugary expensive beverages.
Try this: Curious about how much money you’ll save by drinking water instead of expensive drinks? Add together all the beverages you drink within a month and find out! You might be surprised by how much you’ll save by eliminating the majority of your drinks.
Not only will you save money, you’ll be better hydrated and refreshed. It is commonplace knowledge that Americans are generally deficient in hydration. Drinking water will give you more energy and allow you to operate at a level of productivity unknown to many.
Replacing unhealthy snacks with water can also be a money saver. Drink a full glass of water before you reach for the bag of potato chips and you’ll no doubt consume less.
The more water you drink, the better off you’ll be. You’ll be healthier and have more spare change in the process. And that, is today’s money saver. Thirsty?

Good point, however, there are those that see this and say “Oh, I need to buy bottled water.” I don’t know the comparison between a bottle of water and a bottle of soda, but it seems that it’s about the same.
My solution: Drink tap water. I’ve been drinking tap water for years and I’m fine. If you absolutely can’t stand the taste of tap water, then buy a Brita filter.
make sure its not bottled water, that is expensive.
I drink tap. It’s refreshing and cheap . . . at least where I live.
