Top 5 Things That Are the Biggest Waste of Money

Bottled water drinkers give 3 main reasons for their choice: 

• Taste: Many claim their tap water tastes bad, but a simple pitcher filter can probably fix it.
• Safety: Bottled water is not necessarily safer than public water sources. A high-end filter can remove impurities from tap water.
• Convenience. A decent filter and a reusable bottle or stainless-steel flask can replace bottled water.

Dryer sheets are not that expensive but can cause other problems and health risks. Some of the chemicals used to produce a fresh scent are toxic, while others are known allergens. Dryer sheets can also damage certain types of clothes.

Reusable or DIY Dryer Balls can be used as an alternative.

You don’t really need a cable or satellite connection to watch your favorite TV shows.

Cheaper alternatives include streaming, downloads, library discs or network TV.

Consider other money-wasters, for instance, in-app purchases in games, bank and credit card fees, or a lottery ticket.

Take a good look at every single expense in your budget and ask yourself if it is a good use of your money.
