CVS Sale Item of the Week Award (plus some info on filtering your water)

The CVS Sale Item of the Week Award goes to Pur water filtration items which are 20% off.

Getting a water filtration system can be pricey to start, and the refills are often expensive. I try to buy my refills at a wholesale club like BJs when I go home to NY. But if you don't have wholesale as an option, your best bet is to try to catch them on sale at CVS. We use Brita, but Pur goes on sale at CVS and Brita rarely does. So, i'd go with Pur.

Pur items deserve the award because it's important to filter your water. Check out these articles about what can be found in tap water. I mean, obviously Pur wants to scare you into buying their product, but what they're reporting is true. There's bad stuff in tap water and it's probably better (especially for children) to avoid drinking it all the time. It's not too hard, or really too expensive, to get a filter.

If you are worried about the cost of a filter system and refills, think about how much you spend on bottled water. Now, pay $20 for stainless steel water bottle, and pay about $30 for your filtration system. That's $50. If you buy a bottle of water a day this will pay for itself in a month. And you save bottles from landfills. And you don't drink plastic chemicals. And you don't drink other crap from your tap.

So, that's all! I hope I motivated you to start toting your own bottle filled with fresh, filtered water from home. It's good for you, and good for the earth.
