If I’m going to indulge in a rich, chocolaty drink, I’m going to do it right! Even though I’m using one of my budget drink recipes, it doesn’t taste like I skimped. That’s because, by comparison, the pre-packaged mixes taste watered down. Homemade mixes give you great rich flavor at a fraction of the cost. Now that’s indulgence that my wallet and I can live with!

We purchased a “combo” kit from Better Water Store where you get a better deal when you buy the kitchen filter along with the shower filter.  Installation was quick and I must say pretty easy. We had both systems up in about 45 minutes. Instructions were provided and they even had video instructions on the web site.  Both of the items are top rated, in fact have won the Consumer Digest “Best Buy” award many times. Cost of the filtered water per gallon for the kitchen unit amounts to 9 cents a gallon after all of the cost of purchasing. I’d say a pretty good bargain!
