This is the kind of thing I think about when I get depressed about our circumstances. I feel blessed to know that clean, plentiful water is available here!
I spend $100/week tops.
We spend about $150 but that includes soaps and household supplies as well.
Fresh water truly is a blessing I think we should all be more grateful for.
I go to this depiction when I feel like I could do better - it always straightens me out.
