We have a water filtration system, which is preferable to drinking the water straight...still doesn't have the mineral content and what not of the spring water and doesn't taste as good. That said I don't really even have food money let alone bottled water money currently in the first place....as of late I am usually more concenred with getting a little food than bottled water unless I am out and about and thirsty then I might get a cheap bottle.

Also soup is good idea, however still having trouble affording ingredients for stuff like that....and not so sure it would go a long way at my moms house since it would be hard to keep people from eating it all as left overs. But yeah wont really have that figured out until I figure out what is going on with the EBT if they don't raise it I will have to grocery shop as cheap as possible and perhaps supplement it with food shelf places if I qualify for that. But yeah 20 bucks a month wouldn't even get me a week of soup I don't think.

Also though I admit sometimes due to my mental health crap I am not really up for cooking or much of anything....so I also kind of have to have things that don't have to be prepared and cooked to snack on or I simply do not eat enough, there are times I am hungry but can't get any motivation to make anything...also its hard for me to get started on anything including cooking. I actually feel rather self concious about it I'd think I'd be able to cook for myself and what not efficiently but nope. Then again if I could do all that stuff everyone else seems able to do efficiently I probably would not be on SSI.
