<prompt> Human: Im 26 and working out my budget and I see so many people here say 150-250 for multi-person households, but how? Between my fiancee and myself we are nowhere near that number and we dont even buy expensive food. Do people not include cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, popwater, etc? My mentality is that anything I buy to consume at home besides carry out I lump into groceries, am I doing this wrong?Assistant: reatcheapandhealthy and rbudgetbytes may be worth looking at. popwaterPersonally I dont drink soda and do not understand why anyone buys bottled water in the United States, so I dont include those. Laundry and cleaning supplies are separate for me in my budget.Human: Our tap water sucks so we drink bottled, and at work I use the water dispenser in the office though which is free. I agree I would like to bring down the money spent on pop, but I am not a huge fan of water. Thanks for the links I will check them out!  <response>: Another option, which my wife and I enjoy, is getting those Mio bottles. Its a nice change of pace on water. I wouldnt say its any healthier than your normal diet soda, but one 3 bottle will last a while if you use it somewhat sparingly, and it changes the pace nicely when we get sick of the plain water taste.
