We did our major grocery shopping trip for the month this weekend, and have a well-stocked pantry, fridge, and freezer now. In addition to food, we spent $37 on two stainless steel water bottles, $25 on a fire extinguisher, and $20 on three new smoke detectors. I had been wanting to get away from plastic water bottles for a while now. We never buy disposable water bottles, but we each have refillable bottles that we take everywhere with us. We have a high-tech reverse-osmosis water filter system at home, and I always take the filtered water to work with me. But I had started to wonder if the plastic bottle was an issue in itself. A few weeks ago, I started carrying a glass canning jar with me to work, but I was nervous that it would get broken. So now I have a stainless steel bottle that could arguably last a lifetime. So does my husband. We’re very stoked about them.
The fire extinguisher and smoke detectors are something we needed, and being pregnant added motivation. We already have two smoke detectors in central locations upstairs and down, but my husband decided he’d feel better if we had one in the baby’s room and the garage as well. Costco had a three pack, so we’ll probably add one in our own bedroom too. Feels nice and safe.Â
I generally don’t like spending money, but I feel good about the stuff we got this weekend. Of course, now I don’t want to spend any money for the rest of the month…Â
