4. The large discount stores sell their
generic brands and store brands of soft drinks and many other foods at
about half the price you pay for your favorite brands. I have talked
with many people who were staunch Coke or Pepsi fans but who quickly
learned to like the discount brands when they found they could save so
much money. In fact, they could get twice the amount of soft drink for
the same price as their (formerly) favorite brand.
If you have never walked through a “99 Cent
Store,” you haven’t learned how to get more for your money. They
sell fresh produce so cheap (99 cents) that you won’t be able to
believe it. When tomatoes were $4 a pound, I could get 2 large
tomatoes, or a 1lb. Box of cherry tomatoes for a buck! And a 5 pound
bag of onions for a buck! Of course, you have to consider how many
ounces you are getting of a particular food or drink, etc, and most
items list their unit price, so that you will know how much you
are paying per ounce. Many times you will save a lot of money. Bottled
water (individual servings) however can be cheaper at a discount
store. Do the math, Christian singles: If you get a package of 24
bottles of water (20 fl. Oz each) for $3.88, the bottles cost 16 cents
each.
Of course, the cheapest water is from the
faucet, and according to our local water district, it compares
favorably with all bottled water, some of which may not be as pure as
advertised. You can call your local Water District (as they are
usually called) and ask for water purity information. They will mail
you an easy to read rating and composition of your local water supply
and will even give you free information about your drinking water. As
an example, my doctor said I had to cut out as much salt as possible,
so I bought some sodium-free bottled water. Then I began to wonder how
salty our local water is. The Water District very helpfully supplied
one of the experts to call me with extremely helpful information. He
said that the average adult would drink about 220 ml of salt in local
water per day, a low amount. When I told him I had Sea Salt, he said
that wouldn’t help because it still had sodium chloride in it. He
advised that I find salt substitute at the store made with potassium
chloride. This will not only prevent the problems, swelling, high
blood pressure, etc that sodium does, but it also will help lower
blood pressure. I told him he was more helpful than my doctor, but
that’s the kind of response you most likely will get if you check
with your own water company. They take great pride in keeping our
drinking water safe. (Of course, I don’t want to leave the
impression that anyone should get their health information from other
experts, but in this case, he filled in what my doctor probably was
too busy to tell me.)
