I was thrilled for J at Budgets are Sexy to include my article Financial lessons of a cheese pedlar in the carnival and I continue to be surprised after finding it here on one of my favourite sites, Wisebread.
Thanks for including the round-up of the carnival here -there certainly are some great posts in this collection.
There's no way anyone can tell the difference between bottled water and filtered tap water. It's water.... BESIDES, who drinks water for the taste? We're not talking red wine here...water is simply to quench thirst. That's all. Gulp it down and save a few bucks.
I can taste the difference. And it's not tap water that I hate, it's a very popular brand of bottled water. I can not stand it: it tastes bad - at least to me. My family and friends have tried pouring it into other bottles or into cups to 'trick' me into drinking it. One sip is all it takes to identify it!
Of course, if I'm thirsty I'll drink it anyway but if I have an option I won't pick it up.
