[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 552572"] Ok. I totally get what everyone is saying. Totally on board with it 100%. I've been there done that with the 1/2 empty water bottles around the house and it makes me crazy. It's not Eco friendly, we have lovely filtered water running thru our taps, there's no reason why we all can't use one of the dozens of reusable bottles that seem to tumble out of our cabinets. And we've gone on the rampage of "no more purchased water!!" Except then we all stopped drinking water. Kids started drinking a lot of juice, they used the germy water fountains at school, the reusable bottles never got washed to "mom standards", h missed having a few to toss in the car for all day long driving marathons and... ...We went back to bottled water. About a case & 1/2 a week, 24 -36 bottles of whatever is on sale. Around $3.25 for 24. Kids write an initial on the cap with a Sharpie. (Mom tears her labels.) Dad pre marks a few caps with D or M so that we know we have a few set in reserve for us. I know we SHOULD be using reusable bottles...and I feel guilty. . Yet bottled water is way cheaper than soda or juice and water is the BEST thing to drink when thirsty. And if we have it in the fridge, we reach for it. So, I've made peace with it. [/QUOTE]
