Carrying water bottles instead of buying bottled water. Does it really save significant amount of money?

[King Belieal]

I met a lady that always carries water bottles every time. And she tells me she really saves money that she would have used to buy bottled water outdoors. Does carrying bottled water out really help to save money? Is it really worth the savings?

I always drink much water in the course of the day and I understand the cost saved carrying water bottles.

Yes, this is common sense you would save money as you carry water bottle around. you don't have to buy water and money is saved

Yes it does help you save money, you can simply refill your water from home instead of constantly buying bottle water.

If you are outdoors for a long time and if you need a lot of water, carrying your own water bottle saves a lot of money. But it does not save at once, it saves if you make it a daily habit.

Bottled water or even sachet water might look cheap. But when you keep buying it everyday, it definitely adds up.

A reusable bottle, even a high-end one, is a one-time purchase. Refills from your tap or public water sources are free, or very low cost.

I agree that if someone carries his own water in a bottle either school, or traveling (unless work will be provided with water), then it is better to bring his own water to save money, even though it seems that the price of mineral water containing 1 liter is less than one USD, but if we multiply in one month the amount will be large.

It is mostly ladies that carry drinking water from their homes when stepping it out. I tried it once and realized it really saves money.

 

[Augusta]

Yes no dispute here it would save you money. And you would have enough water to drink throughout the day

I always carry tow water bottles out everyday. I don't want to spend money on water too everyday.

Unfortunately, I can't. As I suffer from severe IBS, the doctor prescribed me only bottled mineral water (from supermarkets), as water at home, despite having been purified by a specific filter, worsens IBS symptoms. And the doctor is right: as I stopped drinking water from whatever tap, inflammatory episodes have been reduced.

When I go out, I always bring my own water bottle. Bottled water is expensive here. Carrying own water bottle does help to save money. Other than that, you can always drink when you feel thirsty instead of trying to find a place to buy water.
