My kitchen has a filtered water dispenser next to the sink. The refrigerator at our previous house had a dispenser (inside the refrigerator, not on the outside of the door). I love having the dispenser, but it takes 20-30 seconds to fill a drinking glass. That's not too much time, but when I have to fill all the glasses while I'm trying to get dinner on the table, it's kind of a pain.
Enter the pitchers:
I got them for a couple of dollars at Walmart, filled them with filtered water, and keep them in the refrigerator. Whenever anyone wants a glass of water, they pour it from a pitcher. When one is empty, I fill it from the dispenser.
Now we always have plenty of chilled, filtered water handy! Super simple, but it Works for Me. =)
i love this tip cause i do the same thing! we get milk in glass jars so I took a hit on the deposit (like a buck!) and kept it for filling water. I love it, thanks for sharing.
That's a great idea! I love those glass jars. =)
