Sodas, teas and juices cost Americans a lot of money compared to getting by on plain old water. According to Statista, a full 28 percent of people in the United States consume soft drinks every single day.
One blogger at 20 Something Finance crunched the numbers to discover that 4,787 bottles could be filled with tap water for only $2.10. Compared to an average store price of $1 – $2 for just one bottle, filling up reusable bottles at home could lead to hundreds of dollars in savings each year.
