Awesome Drink Alternatives: Save Your Money.
Hey-llo folks at home. I’m back I guess? Haha, so funny story. I busted up my laptop power-supply and had to use my desktop computer for like forever, but then randomly my internet died about three and a half weeks ago. Anyways to make a ridiculously long story only a little long, I was like “Hey, I’ll just write up some articles on notepad and then put them on a USB to put on the internet when I go to Robby’s house.” Well, needless to say, that didn’t work out ’cause of stupid USB issues. So I lost all of the articles. And then, to top it all off, my desktop comp got busted too, so I was a little put out for a bit on the whole writing articles thingy. Well anyway, thanks to a sikked (ya, that’s right sikked) home-slice who I will leave anonymous for now, I have a laptop power-supply again. YAY!
Moving on to the funnier part of my story, I had the computer to write on again, but the internet was not being very awesome, so I have articles that I can’t put up.
‘But wait!’ you say, ‘how is this amazing-awesome article being posted if you have no internet?!’
Well that’s the thing see, it’s about 1:07am local time right now, and yes, I’m still awake. Reason? Well, at about midnight I was like, “Yo, I kinda wanna play games on my laptop, cause that could possiblum!
Aside, yes, I do talk aloud like that in real life, with no one else in my apartment. Ya, that’s right, I’m cool like that. Hey, you know you all do it too bwaha!
Ya, moving on…
As I sit down on my thinking chair and flip open the rusty-trusty laptop and SURPRISE! The internet decides to be awesome for a few hours, so here I am, and you lucky people now get to read this amazing article for…FREE! Haha ya, cherish it folks ’cause there isn’t much free stuff out there these days. OK, fair enough, blogs are a dime-a-dozen these days, but hey, look at it this way; I’m not blogging on those other websites am I? That’s right, so I’m one in a million…in a dime-a-dozen blog industry. Teehee!
Woah, I’m sorry, just need to apologize here for the ‘Teehee!’ there, I don’t have my supervisor with me today…tonight…right now. Yyyyaaaa! O_o
Woah ok, now moving on for seriously…
Kitchen, right? Yes, that’s right we talk about the “Big K” here. Ok, so I don’t know about all you other SINGLE – notice the emphasis lol – attractive peeps livin’ away from home, but I’ve been having a little bit of an issue recently. Yes, I do love my kitchen, and like most of you, I love cooking cause cooking equals foods to eat. Foods to eat equals me living – and that’s always good, but I’m pretty partial to being alive, it’s a pretty big thing for me.
Anyway, so I’m looking through the cupboards and the fridge for something to eat and I’m like “Yo, I want hotdogs.” So what did I do? I made hotdogs. But see, here’s the whole issue with this thing. Food is all well and good but eating usually has a tendency of making me thirsty. So here’s some tips for you peeps trying to save some money.
1. Get a BRITA filter for your water – sure, water isn’t that bad as far as drinking stuff goes. But let’s be serious here, tap water really just doesn’t taste that good – yes, even if you have a water purifier in your house, condo or apartment building. And just to clarify myself here, I mean like a filter that works for the whole building, not just like for that specific tap or anything – just something that makes it safe for you to drink your water. You see, a BRITA filter makes your water actually taste good, not just safe to drink.
Ok, so the filter comes with a jug with a resevoir and everything, and depending on how large of a jug you want to buy, you’ll be spending anywhere from 10 to 20 bucks. Now the booklet that comes in the box when you buy the filter gives you a nice handy-dandy schedule that tells you when to replace you’re filter – every two months, aparently. It really depends on how often you use the BRITA filter though, ’cause for myself, I only fill the thing up once every two days, so I’ve had my filter for about three months and it’s still good. So ya, take what the calendar thingy says with a grain of salt – so to speak…pfft funny though, ’cause it’s a cooking website. Ya.
2. Don’t buy juice in the carton or the jug…or whatever the heck else it comes in these days. Instead – if you’re intent on making or having copious amounts of juice in your fridge, that is (woah big words!) – you should buy the frozen juices that you can buy at like every grocery store you go to, so you have no excuse. Anyways, frozen juice tastes the same, you can get most of the same types of juices, even the name brands – if you’re particular to Welchs grape juice for instance – and they cost a fraction of the price. So for those of you who don’t know, frozen juice things usually make about a litre of juice, and no, they don’t come with their own jug haha, so you DO have to buy that one separately lol.
3. Next comes the nice healthy stuff haha – well kinda healthy I guess. So Crystal Light and other such types of “just add water” sachet thingies are really awesome. It really depends on what brand of powder-filled sachets your looking at buying, but usually you won’t spend over 20 bucks for a box of about 50 sachets of the stuff. One of these little miracle packets makes about half a litre of juice – with water added of course (PS, this is a great reason for you to get the BRITA filter ’cause that makes the juice just taste that much more awesome). And there are ridiculous amounts of flavours out there, ranging from iced tea to grape and strawberry. Oh, and the best thing about these things are that they usually don’t require you to add anything sugar-like – like sugar haha. But yea, just fill up a bottle with water, add this sachet and you’re all good to go. Good news, right?
Anyways, I hope this helps a bit. To sum up though, you really don’t need to be spending oodles and oodles of money just to drink some tasty stuff. ‘Till next time folks!
