It’s definitely starting to get hot around here and of course that means most of us need something to drink to keep us hydrated. One of my friends today didn’t really anticipate the hot weather and while he went out walking during his lunch break the thirst got to him and so he decided to buy a beverage. Of all places, he decided to go into a McDonald’s and bought a large pop. That costed him about $2 and considering it is very watered down with a lot of ice it isn’t exactly a great deal.
I usually try to avoid going to places like that with sole intent to only buy a drink as it just doesn’t feel right like with the example above where I can buy say 4 litres of pop for that same price or even say 12 cans of it. I guess during the summer this is definitely true if you say drink a lot of bottled water as well. You would pay about $1 just for one normally at a store or you can go buy a bulk of say 20+ for about $5. It sounds very small, but it can definitely add up especially during these times.
Of course, that doesn’t mean if you are say going to a restaurant that you should necessarily bring your own can of soda or something. However, during the summer it can definitely be a good general throughout the day thing that can help you to save money.
