Want To Save $800 A Year?

Would you like to save $800 a year? You could IF you make one change... order tap water, yes H20 when you eat out. The average family spends $800 a year ordering drinks at restaurants.

 I order water with lemon & squeeze the lemon sprinkle in some sugar or better add a few drops of SunNector stevia ...one penny a drop= fresh lemonaide.

Emily my daughter spent $3.00 a day  on her Starbucks coffee habit.  She's an ex-barrista so I bought her a Caprisso Expresso Maker (@ the thrift store for $3.50) now before work she makes coffee and puts it in her Starbuck's mug.

Emily taught me @ Starbucks to order 1 shot of expresso (I bring in my own Starbucks plastic cup (Em bought me @ the 1/2 price after Xmas sale) with a little Hersheys syrup and ice... pour in the 1 shot of expresso, add cream & stir and I enjoy a Tall,  iced capuccino for $1.75 verses $3.00:)

My secret when I do casual dining @ restaurants like Los Compadres, Someburros, Carolinas, McDonalds or Knock Kneed Lobster (all with counter service) I put a coke in my purse or take my own Iced Tea in my pretty Starbuck's plastic glass and enjoy the savings:)

For saving at the State Fair in October I bought the cutest red and white stripped little canvas backpack and will stuff it with cold bottled waters, and Coke (saving $5.00 a pop:) Plus theres nothing like the rush of sneaking it in;)

I found a healthy alternative to soda I mix one 3oz packet of Fortune Delight http//HealthyInternetTeaHouse.blogspot.com with Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice and ice for a refreshing, hydrating, kidney supporting drink that gives me a natural lift in the afternoon!
