Our city water is very bad and we used to buy bottled drinking water from Walmart at $1 per gallon — now more recently $1.35 per gallon. It was a lot of work transporting the water and carrying them from the car each trip, not to mention quite costly over the year. Assuming a conservative 1 gallon per day, this results in $493 per year! Very pricey! We also didn’t care for the flavor as we could taste the plastic odor in it. 1 gallon per day wasn’t ever really enough for the both of us for drinking, coffee/tea & cooking. 3 gallons per day is more reasonable. This means if we consumed 3 gallons of this Walmart bottled water per day, over the year it would cost us $1479. This article shares an alternative at 2.5 cents per gallon or $27 per year for three gallons per day.

I mentioned in my recent frugality related article on Rotating Streaming Services, that I had quit Amazon Prime a while back because I was not satisfied with the increased membership price, commercials in Prime Video, the prices and quality of their services. In that article I also gave a link to a MMM forum post where many others discuss why they have quit prime as well.

Occasionally from time to time I get free month offers from Amazon. I just checked and they are offering it to me now. Are you not currently subscribed to Amazon Prime and also offered the same? You can find out as well here,
