Since last year, I have tried my best to avoid any drink that comes in a plastic bottle and as well as saving me a decent amount of money, I feel much better about not adding to the obscene amount of waste and the fact that when i do have a drink out, I am helping independents too rather than fueling the corporate monster..!

Bottled water is so expensive. Really adds up quickly. Never order it at restaurants. Tap water please.

I buy 36 bottles of water from Kroger at around $3.50 (plus 7% taxes). Taking one with me on my bike every weekday means they last around two months, at less than $2 per mo.

(Yes, I know it's better for the environment to save plastic. Kroger bottles are not as bad as others, as they feel as thin as a plastic bag, but still I plan to eventually phase them out, but not because of the $)

Have you considered taking a sports water bottle or nalgene or some reusable bottle?

Yes, but they feel way too heavy/big, and then I have to wash them regularly which is kinda hard to do with a bottle. I know that would be the best long term thing to do though..
