Bottled and Canned Water
If you haven’t already, it’s time to stop paying nearly $4 for a bottle of water when you can get it at home for virtually nothing. If you’re concerned about taste or quality, invest in a water filter and reusable water bottle.
Canned sparkling water isn’t exactly cheap, either. If you’ve developed a fizzy-water habit, consider an every-other rule to help you cut back: Drink a glass of regular water between every can. Or, if you’re serious about your sparkly, get a Soda Stream and make your own.

Name-Brand Items
While it’s true that some generics items don’t compare quality-wise to their higher-priced brand-named counterparts, it’s also true that some generic products are literally identical.
This is true of hundreds of items, including patent medicines, food, household items and more. Label-read before you buy.
