@Irene Lopez that's what I say. My dad only drinks Poland Spring though and a gallon of Poland spring where I live is $1.50.
Train your body to perform photosynthesis. Food is for the weak.
I tried it but I just got some really bad sunburn
Sean Lei - Money & Minimalism You should totally train us on how to do that!! 😂 🙌
😅🤣
How can you train your body to make photosynthesis 🙄🤔? Wow! I've never heard of that!
Hahahaha...crazy dude, I kinda agree wif that shit.
No joke my roommate freshman year asked me how to cut an apple because she had always bought the pre-sliced ones up until college 🤦♀️
You hate to see it
Ba ha ha
This is a legendary story 😭
Arvabelle yo introduce her to granny smith
Pre-sliced by mummy. Parents disable their own kids nowadays by doing everything for them.
Glad you're speaking about environmental benefits on top of monetary benefits man
Thanks Rob. It sure it important
Ziplock bags are recognized as an environment pollutant, but the focus is on cost when those K cups are the topic. That;s a bit inconsistent.
@@NateOBrien very and if Everyone did there part it would make a huge impact that's positive!
@@NateOBrien too I
LOL. "Food is depreciating asset". Never thought I would hear that.
🐈
he knows accounting too but i never think of food that way..i wonder where planet he's from
I personally don’t drink coffee so that saves about a million in a lifetime 😝
sipping on a cup as I type this comment. decaf
@@NateOBrien the 20 cent one
Same.
Are you a tea ☕️ drinker??
I dont either. But i do drink whiskey 🤔🤔🤔
"Avoid the candy aisle. Don't even go into it." ~ Nate 2019
Same.
Are you kidding me, Nate???
M&M's are life!
It's true though. Likely one of the worst return on investment from a financial standpoint from what we consider edible. Cavities, diabetes, being fat, and so on..
I can't avoid that aisle every time.
1. Buy yourself a pack of instant coffee and deal with it.
2. Carry a 2L tumbler refilled at home, i think thats enough water for a day.
3. Instant foods doesnt cost more, your hunger and appetite is so eat the right foods.
4. Buy fruits and veggies on local produce and what u can just consume in a short span of time.
5. Look out for the best deals at the grocery, ofc, just the things you needed.
6. Invest on things and utensils that last longer.
7. Dont be a lazy prick, convinence also cost money.
8. Make a list before going to grocery and just look for those things then go.
Buying local produce isnt really good advice for a lot of people. I'm from Michigan and if I only ate foods local and in season my produce would just be apples, strawberries, and soy beans
@@jacquelynpeters7149 here in our country everything is locally produced, u can also get discounts if you know how to bargain.
Cook a double or triple when you make a recipe and freeze the rest for another day when you feel tempted to eat out. I do it all the time.
Certain foods are really bad when defrosted, so this takes some experimenting 😁
Best way to avoid eating out is to cook same food they sell but a more healthier and tastier version than restaurants... And thanks to youtube cooking videos for that, it helped me to cut out the food from outside to a very large extent
Great idea!
growing your own food is good, too. I grow strawberries and lettuce from my balcony.
Me too
YAY !!!
where do u guys get organic seeds ?!
Better than Tupperware: reusing glass jars. Because they're usually made for holding liquid, they seal very well for soups or other juicy foods.
They tend not work too well for holding sandwiches or leftover foods. But you can always use old plastic containers from yogurt, sour cream, ricotta and so on.
If you can pay like 20 bucks, Pyrex that you can fit in each other work really well for freezing, heating in the oven and microwaving.
This
@@bsarioz Sam's carries a set for $20 made of clear, very thick glass, with seal tight lids. I love them because I can easily see what's inside, they keep food fresh longer, they take up less space in the fridge & cabinet, and can be stored one in the other.
Me too! And dry foods beans grains opened pastas all stored in recycled glass And if I make my soups and tomato sauce I put them in glass jars
I learned to make my own ketchup vastly better cheaper I make in batches when I've time soups stews dried beans etc and freeze in recycled plastic so I save alot I make veggie burgers of all kinds even my own veggie cheese with soymilk I make my self it's fast cheap easy all freeze great
If they sell it you can
Make it yourself even baking bread and pizza is cheap
You can learn there's a wealth of free knowledge available
Who is spending 30$ on groceries 🤨.. ask them to make a video.. I am definitely watching that video...

@@NateOBrien Spill those beans! Show us how you do it.
I will! Video next week maybe!
Lol me Aldi's saves me so much and I'm single so that helps.
Haha I can spend £30 a week on food to feed 4 of us
I love to see young adults being so conscious of our impact on the environment. Thank you!
I agree with you Anita, most people our age don't realize how important it is to be conscious of what we do that can impact the environment.
the sad thing is, it doesn't really matter. I just give you one example. If all people in my town stop using their cars for a day, it still has less effect on the environment than the take off of a fighter jet for a routine patrol in a pointless war. this whole being environmentally conscious narrative is used to shift the blame from big corporations who actually benefit from destroying the earth to you and me who forgot to recycle once or have to use our car because we can't find a working alternative. and most importantly to make us feel we are doing enough if we are indeed environmentally conscious and have a green life style and not bother forcing them to cut 0.001 percent of their profits to invest in a more green production or whatever.
Even Nate recommends making your own $0.20 iced coffee ;)
I got that reference! :)
( Graham Stephen, right ? )
🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Hey Hey Hey, he said $0.10 lol
Actually he said $0.10 - $0.25 lol but yeah the first thing that came to mind was the $0.20 iced coffee from Stephan Graham 😂
Investing Engineered aha! I see what you did there 😂 Graham reference
Nate O'Brien-avoid organic avocados, Graham Stephan- 20 cent avocado toast, and Oprah Winfrey bought her own avocado plantation after learning the price for them. A great dispute in modern economics)
Consider weighing buying healthier / more expensive foods as an investment in your health. Empty calories are cheap in the short term.
Avery Granum true
Junk food has the worst return of investment.
Who here wants to see Nate’s meal plan?
video coming soon
came here to see how i could save money but i already do these.. dang
Bummer.
I feel same. I've not ever really bought any of those unless absolutely necessary. I wish I did so I could cut my stupidly high food bill by 30% like other people.
Many times the store brand items are exactly the same as the branded item. Made and packed on the same production lines. Just labeled differently.
All good points to ponder. I feed a family of 4 on $50 a week. We all cook :-)
It's crazy how cutting something so simple out can have such a large long term impact for you. Just started my channel to try to document my progress in my money making journey.
I love how most of these things also help the environment :) A lot of financial TH-camrs I feel like overlook that part, and I'm really glad you bring it up and keep it in mind with your purchasing decisions.
I try to produce the least amount of waste possible
Nate, what a way to hit the grocery shopping nail on the head! I've been employing these strategies my entire adult life. Glad yo see you and others doing this!
I came here wanting to learn something new, unfortunately, I already do all of those things I honetly thought this was common sense lol
Unfortunately, common sense is less common that we hope it is.
I am the same. No new for me.
It IS common sense.
You can also buy a mesh cup to go in a Keurig and fill with it with your own ground coffee
Ewan Fuller
Yup! That’s what I do!
Yup that's what we do
Unless you are living in Flint, Michigan
It's true
S A V A G E 😂😂
I know right.
It's crazy. Flint STILL don't have clean water. Smh sad.
Shanika Freeman That’s not true my guy, they’ve had clean water for a while now but people just keep spreading false info so people get confused
Great tips and I love the correlation to sustainability!
I love how environmentally conscious you are. 🌿🌳🌾🌻
I just don't like to create unnecessary waste
Just a head's up, something to keep in mind about pre-cut fruit is that while it does cost more, some people have disabilities that mean they can't cut the fruit. I do agree though, that people who can cut fruit themselves shouldn't waste money on something they don't need.
And some people don't have internet access, so they don't even get to see this video. Better preemptively avoid every imaginable exception, which is not possible. People, as in most people, don't buy "convenience products" because they have to, not even because they're lazy, but because they think it saves them time/money/effort, and because it makes them feel hip and cool and busy and important.
I think, most people already know about this. But if the pre-cut fruits and vegetables were only bought by people with arthritis, we wouldn't see nearly as much on display.
@L H I actually completely forgot about this video, seeing as I watched it and commented about a year ago.
I think buying uncut fruit is a perfectly valid way that makes sense to save money, and because it isn't cut you often aren't dealing with extra, environmentally unfriendly packaging.
If I'm remembering correctly, at the time I watched this I was running into tons of people who were hating on things like plastic straws and cut fruit and judging the people who purchased them for their environmentally awful decisions. While this video approached the topic well, not hating on the people buying the cut fruit, the comment section wasn't necessarily the same. The comment wasn't a comment for the guy who made the video, more for the people watching it.
As someone with a disability myself, I get a bit frustrated at people hating on things that disabled people often need. Of course, I don't think you, or anyone else who replied to my comment, was hating in any way. Your comments were fair and brought up good points. This is just where my head was at the time, and the way I continue to feel about this subject.
@L H That's true, which is why we should look for eco-friendly alternatives. Plastic is bad for the planet, but we don't have readily-available eco-friendly alternatives at this point that disabled people can use. A lot of the alternatives work a lot better for able-bodied people than for those who have limitations.
However, the unfortunate reality about pollution, particularly things like plastics, is that overwhelmingly the main contributors to it are huge corporations. Plastic is so cheap to make and use that it's more expensive to recycle it than it is to make new plastic. This isn't me being all "look at the evil capitalist corporations," theres actual research that shows that corporations like Coca-Cola are contributing by far the most to the plastic pollution situation, as well as pollution as a whole. Things like straws are practically nothing in comparison. We should still try to reduce our plastic waste as much as possible - individual circumstances permitting - But no meaningful change can ever truly happen until some of these corporations remember that if they actually want to succeed long-term at this point the planet needs to be around and healthy enough for them to do so.
@L H Plastichas been widely used for about the last 150 years. During that time (not even talking about before then) disabled people were a bit busy dying and having harmful medical procedures (for a while there people though lobotomies and electricity could fix anything) forced on them. We didn't have a lot of the diagnoses and treatments that we have now, so we were literally just dying. It's only very recently that disabled people have shifted from "How do we survive," to "How de we survive with decent quality of life." A lot of plastic things aren't necessarily essential to survival, but for disabled people many plastic things are essential to decent quality of life.
Here's an example: someone has mobility and joint issues. These could be caused by many things, not just arthritis or old age. They can't consistently drink anything without spilling on themselves and, if they have some sort of spasm or jerky movement on their face they can't control, one of the reusable straws could break their teeth or break in their mouths, meaning they need to somehow get all the pieces out with hands that don't work all that well, without injuring themselves or swallowing anything. Or, they could just use a soft straw. The only reusable option is silicone, which they can't clean with their barely-finctional hands, so they need plastic straws.
Here's another example: somebody commonly has muscle spasms. This could be a short-term or long-term problem, and maybe either every day is severe or, like how if is for menay people, they have good days and bad days. On the bad days their hands shake and move too much to drink anything without spilling, and their jaw and face will sometimes spasm as well, causing their mouth to involuntarily close or have difficulty opening. For the same reason as above, they do need plastic straws.
Both of these people, to survive, could alternatively have someone around to help them drink and eat and take care of them, or if that's too hands-on you could leave them hooked up to an IV. Or they could be given things like plastic straws so they can actually live their lives and do some things independently. Needing help isn't a bad thing, but nothing is more frustrating than needing help with something you could do yourself if you had the resources.
Once you leave your parents house and are out on your own, you find the true value of a video like this! So much true and informative information. Thanks, Nate!
Thanks!
People always say to me, "You spend £200 a month on cigarettes, you could have bought a Porsche with that in the 20 years you have smoked"
I then ask them if they smoke to which they reply never.
Then I ask where their Porsche is......
Hahaha
Wow that’s very true.
Basically stay away from anything that's instant, buy wholesale, reusable receptacles and less organics only thick skinned fruits. Sounds about right.
Top tip for cutting your own fruit:
When you’ve finished, pour or squeeze some lemon juice or other natural acidic additive over it and shake to coat (citrus is your best bet) as the acidity prevents the fruit from browning over the course of the day through exposure to the air. Keeps your fruit fresh, keeps it from drying out as quickly, and adds some flavour.
I have a regular coffee maker, no bells and whistles. I get it set up at night and turn it on in the morning. When I'm ready the coffee is ready. Following the latest trends can be expensive.
i heat my thermos with scalding hot h2o from the tap and after breakfast the remaining coffee goes into it. haven't bought coffee at work in a few years. my co-worker does the same but she calculated the cost of coffee shop drinks per week - starbucks reared its head on the first floor of our building a few years back. she puts her coffee money in a coffee can beside her microwave at home and counts it out at the end of the year. she had barely over a grand after the year - starbucks ain't cheap: $5 daily x 5 day work week = $25.
when i see young people like nate GETTING IT i'm relieved. there's hope for the species yet.
It astounds me that people actually spends money on the 10 things you listed.
I mean, almost everyone is forced to buy bottled water occasionally. See me after TSA doesn't allow your water and there is no fountain after the checkpoint. The water you drink on an airplane comes from a bottle too.
I buy organic fruit because I am more worried about my health than money since I am not saving for anything really
For once I disagree with you... food is not depreciating, it's fuel for your body. Let thy food be thy medecine ! It's actually a long term investment that in the end will guve you more or less time on this planet.
It's a necessity, but it's definitely depreciating in most cases. You also need a home to live in, but they usually get more expensive as opposed to some food you just bought.
@francisrueda 01 hence he said "let food be thy medicine". You put good food in you get good results out.
When I heard him say that, I thought how ridiculous. I also watch a couple of his videos where he seems to eat quite a bit of cheap crap.
Dude, I saw that at Walmart the pre-cut quarter watermelon cost literally the same (sometimes more) than the whole watermelon 😑. Cut your own fruit guys and gals!
I noticed that too! Pre-cut watermelon was at most same price, sometimes less, then having to cut it up yourself!
Woah that's ridiculous. A big slice of watermelon is like 2 bucks at my local grocery store and I could never get a whole one for that price.
Though, having a big freezer now, I might consider just chopping and freezing a whole watermelon if I find a good deal.
Agree with all of this. I started shopping at Aldi and my bill instantly was cut into 1/3.
I was able to cut my grocery bill by about $60 when I got my grocery store’s app which allows me to create a list with a subtotal (so I always stick to my budget), and add coupons to any applicable products. I love it!
Which store? That sounds amazing!
Nate O'Brien Fred Meyer!
Something to consider (particularly with anything ready made, pre-prepped, instant, etc) consider the amount of time it takes to make the item compared to the amount of extra money it cost you. Your time is worth money and if 90 second instant oatmeal in the morning takes less time and allows you to be on time, it could be worth it.
Oh just don't be lazy and get your arse out of bed a couple of minutes earlier.
I agree with you, also you have to use quite a lot of fuel if you are cooking rice properly and also water costs add up too and seasoning if you want to add variety and flavor. Then I cannot eat a whole water melon, I would just end up throwing out most of it.
Every time I go to Costco, my bill isn’t under $100... but looking at the products you buy - you can save quite a bit buying a bulk!
Love that you talk about avoiding things that also are terrible for the planet 🤍🙏🏼
The best way to save money is to plan your meals and go grocery shopping only once a week with a list that you stick to. It works well for me. I get the most expensive apples, peanut butter and noodles, and I buy avocados, but my grocery bill is still really low
This is some amazing content!
Definitely a topic that can relate to everyone :)
Thanks!
Or if you want to use Zip-Lock bags, rinse them out and reuse them.
Ugh! No!
Yep, I do that! Works just fine. :)
Unless meat was in em
Love the environmental aspect of these tips! I do most of these already but still a great watch and hope it educated others 👍
Thank you for making this video, deeply appreciated!
Any fruit that you bought too much of or is about to go bad can be tossed into a batch of muffins. Same with vegetables and stir fried rice. Using up (instead of buying more) is so essential to saving money on groceries.
I use the Graham Stephen method on iced coffee. I also work at a coffee shop so that's my go to for freebies
As a cook who loves your content, I was ready to feel really sad over this video. Alas, nothing about this video was upsetting, it was fully informational and objective without compromising anything drastic, awesome content as always Nate.
Nate you just keep getting better and better thank you my brother your the best we need people like you around
Thank you Alexander. It means so much to me to see this many people supporting the channel
Target brand ice cream is the exception, it tastes so good tbh.
Young but wise 😊 keep up the great videos 😉
YES!! Great list! Also, thanks for talking about the environment.
I love going to coffee shops so I can relax or get work done, but I'm careful to make doing that into a treat and/or doing it cheaply. Sometimes that means just getting water or getting the cheapest coffee in a small size, sometimes that means choosing to spend on this rather than something else.
Instantly liked the video as usual.
Thank you!
I was able to cut 50% of my grocery expenses when started managing my cash flow. And it was the biggest part. I used to buy lots of sh*t🤦♂️ It's worth to pay attention! Thanks for sharing
Some purchases just make no sense! Everyone should be tracking their budget
@@NateOBrien Yes, that's true! But it's so hard to start if you never saved a dollar in your life. For me, it's easier to save than spend, but it wasn't always this way. You're showing the right direction! This is pure value
Thanks for the tips!
So glad to see a young person that is responsible with money. I love ur vids and always am looking to learn more on how to save money. :)
Even as a freshman in college without a sink, I would still use reusable items and go the bathroom sink with a little tub and wash all my things. It really wasnt that hard.
Having lived in Europe for the past 16 months, food costs in the U.S. now seem astronomical.
May I ask where in Europe food is cheaper than the U.S?
I learned, thanks for sharing!
For being so young you are so wise. Wish I knew all this when I was 21!
I agree with most of what you said, except I do think there are exceptions to some things. 1) Bottled water: I cannot drink city tap water. All the stuff they add to the water messes with my stomach and makes me sick. But since we moved to the mountains and have well, we only have bottled water for power outages. 2) precut foods. I have family members w fibomyalgia, and there are some days they are in to much pain to cut up fruits and veggies. There are other disabilities that also make it hard to do bulk food prep.
My husband and I buy our beef/pork from a resturant supply and cut it up ourselves. Saves anywhere from $2-$8lb. We started raising/processing our own chickens. Definately not cheaper, but so much healthier. We buy bulk dry goodsand portion it ourselves. Use cloth towels instead of paper for most things, and buy a lot of store brands. We are working on cutting as many chemicals and preservatives from our diet as possible.

A big help for this one, just shop at Costco. Buying in bulk saves 👍
Randy Marsh You need a membership first.
If you get the Executive membership and use the Costco card for Costco and non-Costco purchases, very easy to get the membership fees back and then some.
Great video! I particularly buy a lot of bottled water. Zip loc bags in Costco, I do recycle but you're right! We have to keep our beloved planet in mind. I will work on that.
In love with your channel! Thanks for all the valuable information!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video! We are a family of nine, and we buy paper plates and paper cups in bulk, so it's very cheap and saves us a lot of time (+ water bill) from constantly doing dishes (we don't have a dishwasher).
Dried beans are cheaper than canned. I make loads of them and they take less effort to cook because if you just put them in a crockpot and just leave them for like 5 hours, theyre done. Its awesome. Basically the most eco friendly and healthy products are the cheapest. Raw materials vs packaging/ convenience .
I am fully stocked with raw materials. Rice, beans, bread, oats, etc.. all you need to do is add some protein, fruit/vegetables, and spices and you have a meal
Slow cookers are the best invention ever!!
What about the costs of fuel to operate the crockpot or slow cooker, that is not free and in some places actually quite expensive and not even energy efficient if you cook small quantities for whatever reason.
People from the USA just don’t appreciate coffee 😂.
Oh you have no idea 😁
I once lived abroad in New Zealand for 6 months (work & travel).
I recommend to everyone to look for a farmers market in big cities (usually on WE-Days; Wellington one was every Sunday next to a museum). I spend between 40-50 NZ$ total on groceries every week.
That was only half as much as if I had shopped everything at chain markets (like New world & Countdown ~ 110NZ$ = 73US$ per week).
It's usually like this with those markets (in lots of countries as far as I know) and they offer really good quality food :).
very addictive content, I love this boy!
Pro Tip: Grow fruits at home if you have the space! I got Organic Avocados growing! Pre-Pealed oranges looks funny.
I do this.. no avocados though :(
@AdamUPNow 🙌 Exactly.
Counter point to the instant food argument: I'm lazy as hell when it comes to cooking so instant foods keep me from eating out, which saves me money.
Jacob Holsinger bet you have the dominos app downloaded
I think you are better going with instant than eating out if those are your choices. Try to stock up on instant oatmeal and instant rice when it is on sale or buy it at a store like Aldi. Making little changes do add up.
Jacob Holsinger it’s easy to save even more! It’s called not being a lazy bastard
Just buy an air fryer if you want to be lazy lol I can just throw in a well seasoned 3 pound chuck roast in mine and it will come out perfect in just 30 minutes and I don't have to pay any attention to it. I think an air fryer should be in every household because it saves so much time and oil and its easy to clean.
@@TigerTT Can you recommend any air fryers in particular??? I ask because I'm interested, but very ignorant of that type of cooking. If I get one, I'd like very much to not have a rocky start.
Such sensible advise, pre cut fruits and veg only waste of money I’m also going try store brand products this month and see how it works out
This is so helpful!!! Never thought of the Kcups thing
One of my secrets while shopping is to buy in bulk!!! I go months without buying coffee! What do you guys do?
Jazmin Bautista I always make sure I have a list and look at prices per pound to see where the best buy is
I stock up with products when there is a good sale. For example, I bought 25 large boxes of cereal when it was on sale for 1.88 a box. The usual price is about 4.00 so I saved quite a bit of money and we are set for cereal for probably six months I bought a basket of green peppers for 5.00 and froze it for the winter. It really adds up to big savings in the long run.
Americans eat so bad. Cereal is awful for your health. I wouldn't pick it up even if it is free
@@anac4827 Definitely a lot of truth to that! We primarily eat plain Cheerios and plain Mini Wheat, which are pretty low in sugar and high in fibre. We pick our battles and eat plenty of healthy whole foods.
Hi Nate. 20 cent Ice coffee is always my choice 😂
I don't have room for the creamer in my budget. I just drink it black
Nate O'Brien I don’t have room for the water in my budget. I just eat it.

Flint Michigan! Thank you for saying that
You are the best. I'm living in Philadelphia too. I like to watch your videos. Thank you.
Publix has the best tasting ice cream for a store brand
hmm I don't have publix in the northeast
@@NateOBrien oooohh well great video as always. Keep up the good work my friend
I like Publix cookies and cream 👌🏽 huge chunks of coookie!
@@mizzmiami3242 Have you ever tried the chocolate almond, it's to die for
Publix butter pecan ice cream is the best you will ever lay tongue to!
I have a kering but u can buy a refillable K cup that way i can make my travel mug with usually Great Value 100% columbian and no waste. Its 5.47 a can 1 can probablly makes about 90 travel mugs.
i use a generic refill for keurig too! really tried to find a kcup i really liked but never found any flavor liked better than regular loose coffee. i do love my keurig machine!!!
You can also brew tea with the reusable k cups it's pretty cool
Also you can actually wash plastic utensils and solo cups (I've done it before), and that can help you save money by reusing those.
👍👍👍👍. Exactly, some of the products in the grocery store are way too overpriced, and can be made in a cheaper way if you buy the ingredients to make it yourself, and even better healthier quality and taste better.
*Amazon is the ultimate grocery store. Have sellers compete to get you the lowest prices and have an infinite selection*
I will have to try amazon now that I have to walk a mile to a decent grocery store at my new apartment
I´m lately wondering about those big big BIG retailers and their environment footprint, I think the prices can go "that lower" because they are not counting up some externalities
Me watching the video and hoping to get new tips but I'm already doing all of them. Oops, lol. Well, I guess it's good to know I'm on the right track xD
Thank you Nate, you are awesome
Buying in bulk is such a great tip. For those frozen meals they have a ridiculous amount of sodium too. Kinda just eats us from the inside haha
a lot of this feels just like just out of college and you never learned house skills. what about when you do have house skills?
Many people lack these skills. Just because someone is in their twenties, that does not mean that you can't learn from them. Most people waste money, so the info. is great!
I am willing to spend the extra on pre-chopped onions. I actually buy frozen chopped onions, which are even cheaper than pre-chopped.
With onions, there is a chance that you might waste half an onion, and time is money too, so I think frozen chopped onions can save money for most people.
Eliran Sobel frozen food is disgusting
Aww, the candy aisle, farewell sweet tooth; love the tips. Thanks for uploading :-)

Helpful tips to stretch your paycheck further,good job

I have my meal plan down to a science. Budget friendly and healthy
Nate O'Brien that’d be a good follow up video!👍🏾
Bottled water is very important for people in developing countries who cannot use tap water
Bottle water is needed all across the world. There are so many reasons to have bottled water. Bottled water is cheap.
Obviously, he is referring to people who live in the USA or other countries that tap water is safe.
@@aaronkirchinger Bottled water is not cheap in that it should be a public good and potable everywhere. In the USA ten years ago no one drank bottled water except San Pellegrino or Perrier in a fancy shmancy bar or restaurant. I forget which brand it is but basically, it is NYC tap water. What's interesting is that tap water is far more regulated and tested than bottled.
Great tips, thanks, I appreciate it!
