Do we really need to buy and/or drink bottled water? Several studies have found that drinking tap water is just as good for your body as bottled water.
There are times that I will buy bottled water. I usually buy a case of Aquafina water in the spring during baseball/softball season. Aquafina water is more expensive than store brand, however, the reason I buy bottled water isn't for the water, it's for the bottles.
If my kids forget the bottle of water at practice or a game then it's not a big deal. When we bought them their own bottles it was always a battle trying to find their water when we needed to go. For some reason they don't lose cheapie bottles near as much as they did their own bottles.

If you must buy bottled water, stick to spring water - Aquafina is simply filtered tap water - you can do that yourself.
ReplyDeleteWe use reusable metal bottles for sports and surprisingly, we haven't lost any yet.
We usually keep bottles of water on hand too--you can't beat the convenience, but I also love the thrift of using a bottle over and over!
