I rarely drink soda these days, but we reuse an empty 2L bottle to mix sugar free lemonade in. (Great value Walmart large packets for the frugal win!) I realized our bottle was about a year old and looking rough, so when I was at the grocery store yesterday I went down the soda aisle to grab a 2L Diet Mt Dew bottle. It was $3.99!!! When did this happen??

ETA: I’m loving all this feedback and great ideas. In my (slight) defense, I re use for so long because I live in such a rural area that there is no recycling option. But I think I’ve decided a growler solves most of my problems. But keep the feedback coming, I’m loving this. Thanks y’all!

Final Edit: Thank you all for the great feedback. I have a half gallon mason jar with a lid on the way from the mother ship (Amazon) to address the plastic issue. I can’t promise to not keep drinking the lemonade as it’s delicious and my main source of hydration. I’ll try transitioning to more water just for all of you. Baby steps. Thanks again!

True Final Update: got my 64oz glass mason jar with pour lid in the mail today. Washed it, filled it, and popped it in the fridge. Loving this BPA/micro plastic free life. Thank again y’all!
