Do Not Waste Your Money Drinking Bottled Water

Some people spend a tremendous amount of money every month on bottled water.   While at work they use the vending machine and pay anywhere from one to two dollars for a bottle  If you are one of those folks who enjoy drinking bottled water throughout the day, I highly recommend saving your hard-earned money and investing in a Brita Filter container instead. The Brita filter will help get the chlorine taste out of tap water.  It will taste virtually the same as bottled water and the filters will last a long time.

Bringing a stainless-steel water bottle to work and refilling it with Brita filtered water is the simplest way to save you money every month.  If you are in the habit of buying one water bottle at work everyday for $1.50, you are spending approximately $390 per year!

Christmas Cards Do Not Have To Be Expensive

If you like to send out snail mail to friends and family every Christmas, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to do it.  I lucked out this year and found a box of 40 Christmas cards for $2.00!  I happened to find them while browsing through my favorite dollar store.   I expected them to be really ugly and cheap looking, but they actually are really nice cards.

Sometimes we also write out a Christmas letter letting everyone know what we’ve been up to during the past year.  This year we didn’t due to time constraints, but this is also an inexpensive option.  Just find some cute Christmas paper and print your letter onto it.  You can often find really great deals on Christmas letter paper immediately after Christmas, so if you plan to do a Christmas letter next year, be sure to pick some paper up at a discounted price.
