Not exactly frugal but I splashed out on something that will bring me a lot of joy..
I spent $230 on a water cooler from Costco.
It was actually a good deal for the model and my house run’s off tank water so it is nice having a cooler with a great filtration system.
Although it may not seem like the smartest purchase on the FIRE path, I think it is worth it as it brings me a surprising amount of joy to have filtered chilled water on tap!
Some time’s it the little things in life that give you the most satisfaction. I sounds like this will also be better for your health as the water will be more cleaner and i’m sure you will drink more of it. Can’t put a price on that!
