Eat Well and Save

Tips for spending less on good food.

I agree with Caroline1’s rec. If a filter is an issue there are some great under-sink filters available but I changed to that type of filter before I changed my faucet-I hated how the filter looked on my faucet.

That’s a nice faucet, and LOVE that kitchen in the ad. One of our friends is a plumber, and he just told my husband we could only have Moen, because our well water has some sediment, and Moen makes the only filter that will...

Do you need it to attach to the faucet like a Pur or Brita filter or in line under sink type? I have an Ever Pure under sink filtration system. Like it a lot. Water taste great.

an inline water filter installed under the sink (its on the cold water line and runs to a small gooseneck faucet next to our main faucet. Its basically a permanent brita filter without the need for a pitcher. I use that to store...

I’m thinking about purchasing one of these faucet-mounted water filters. Right now, we average about $15/month for water delivery. Local water tastes crappy, so it’s bottled or filtered. Which one? I’d like to...

I just bought a Vietnamese coffee filter, similar to this: http://www.quickspice.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/scstore/cookwarecoffeemaker.shtml?L+scstore+kfqs7376+1177108782 Actually, I bought mine on Amazon (cost about $8.00), but...

there is a slight salty taste to our water (I don’t), so we have a reverse osmosis water filter for drinking, coffee, ice, etc. These are readily available at Costco, etc. All this stuff works and our water tastes good plus...

Two of the restaurants I’ve been to recently served me water out of the kitchen faucet. The water was not filtered, it came straight out of the same faucet they use for washing dishes. These two restaurants have open...

Love my Melitta single cup cones. Makes great coffee and is especially convenient if you have an instant hot water faucet. Usually I buy the #2 filters at Fortino’s, but I have seen them at several other big chains. One...

Filtering your own tap water is so much cheaper than buying bottled water, including distilled, which to me tastes weird anyway. Get a Brita or Pur filter pitcher or jug, or a filter system that attaches to your faucet and try it...

of that trouble and expense? Get a water filter - a real one. We have several different undersink filter systems in our home, and I can recommend the “Rainfresh” brand for your specific application ( www.rainfresh.ca...

Thanks for the report back. Lime A-Way and CLR are to products that will take away hard water buildup. However, I’m very careful of what and when to use them. I always try and use vinegar first. I try and take off my faucet...

so there’s no need for a water filter. Next time we’re in Texas, drink the tap water, then tell me how bad our SF water is. Plus, water filters attached to faucets are ugly and annoying and under-the-sink filters are...

I agree, filtered tap water is just fine to excellent in many places, especially in SF. We have an undercounter filter from Sears installed in the cold water line that runs to one of those little gooseneck faucets next to our...
