I feel a little ripped off

On the back of most water or powerade or other disposeable type bottles is a little thing that says they are returnable and I can get 10c a bottle!

In South Australia.

Well you only need 10 bottles to make a $1

So if you drank 10 per week you would have around $520 a year

$2600 after 5 years

This amount would give you a decent holiday so imagin the $$$$ if you drank 20/30 per week

That works out nicely so long as you get someone else to shout you the drinks 🙂

That is 'SHOP & SAVE".

But how much will the 10 bottles a week cost? I'd be lucky to buy 10 bottles in a year  :D:D

A 99c bottle of water = 10c

Or if you buy in bulk even cheaper

So you can basically make back 10% and if you sell on Ebay then you could pay your selling fees

 I'd better start scouring the streets in search of empties

Would you have believed about  25 years ago that we would actually, one day, buy bottled water?

As kids that's what we used to do but you hardly see anyone doing it these days

Yes, same. We used to save them all year and cash them in for the holidays  😄

Never dreamed of it happening.

And now we have the experts telling us that bottled water is not much better than tap water.
