Get Water Instead

If you're like me, you like to go out to eat. This can get expensive over the course of a year, but by following my tips you'll be able to save big!

First, you can follow my other post's tip and use coupons. When thinking of going out to eat, skim through your coupon book first. That will save you a couple bucks off your total.

Another tip I have for all you college savers out there is to DRINK WATER. Not only is water healthier for you, it's also free... Score! Who doesn't like free stuff?! If you figure you go out to eat once a week, it costs $2.00 for a pop. Take that times 52 weeks in a year = $104.00 a year. And most students go out to eat more than that. Figure twice a week times 52 weeks = $208.00 a year.

Think of all the things you could spend that money on! Whether it's clothes, shoes, or beer... it's worth more than that one or two sodas a week.

Bottom line: Soda is expensive. Getting a water saves lots over time.
