H2O Savy!

I'm pretty picky about my drinking water. I love VOS, Fiji water and Evian! I do...I admit it! I'm even the one who will order Perrier when I'm craving some bubbles!!! However, I realize that cooking and drinking with high end Artesian water just isn't feasible unless you make the big bucks. I draw the line there! Trust! A few months ago, my parents decided to put a Culligan Water bubbler system into our house. Admittedly, it was really convenient and the water tasted amazing! It got wicked expensive with the 5 of us constantly guzzling! One day mom and I were at the Dollar Tree and we realized that a gallon of spring water was a buck!!! Mom being the bargain shopper she is, nudged me after doing the calculations in her head and said (in Korean of course)"It would be much cheaper for us to buy cases of water instead of using the Culligan service...AND it wouldn't add to the electric bill." Her eyes gleamed and I remember thinking how idiosyncratically cute she was. FAST FORWARD TO LATER THAT NIGHT...I come home to find 90 Gallons of water being stacked along the bottom shelf of our utility shelf! We were standing there and the bottom shelf fell out and all the water jugs fell! All the work they had done for precision stacking...wasted. We ended up having to haul the 90 jugs to the basement and our kitchen (see above picture). My parents have made a few subsequent runs to the Dollar Tree to re stock. Rest assured the looks they get every time, must be that of utter amazement and or curiosity! Ahhhh...the ways of family! Gotta love family!
