Please don’t reuse plastic water bottles (ie. the case water like from the cases of Aquafina etc.). I’ve been recently doing alot of research on plastics and bpa chemical leaching…ughhh! Going stainless is absolutely the best idea! CAUTION…check out the bottles and sippys your young children are using too!

Great idea! I have been blowing off those cute little water bottles at Whole Foods, but I will have to check the prices now. We hike alot; so we are using bottled water all the time…

I’m with you there! We ALWAYS have water from home with us. We love Camelbak brand water bottles!

It’s cheaper and healthier to eat from home! Our 2 year old is in constant need of some sort of snack and this enures that I don’t spend a fortune on junk for him just to keep him happy!

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I love your idea for having different colors for each family member. That would save a lot of confusion in my house! Great tip!

Yes, this is a must. I too other than being a frugal mom of 4 boys. I also hate to many plastic bottles. I hate adding to the land fill. I have taken this one more step further. There is too many health issues linked to eating a drinking out of plastic so we are in the process of getting stainless steel drinking bottles. For example when I googled I found ones like …

Our tap water tastes bad, so I have been threatening to get a water filter to do our own water bottles. Thanks for the inspiration.

We use the same water bottles over and over. Once they get worn out, I will purchase a new bottled water, and continue to use it until it’s worn out. I sterilize the lids if one of us has been sick, so they work out really well for us.
And….they fit really well in the cup holders in the car!
