We know that saving money is a constant struggle. Life’s expensive, especially in cities like New York City<\/a>, Boston<\/a> and Chicago<\/a>. Equally, everyone wants more and better space in their homes.\u00a0We at RentHop<\/a> put our heads together to come up with five creative ways to save money and space in your apartment.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t mind tap water, stick with that. If you prefer the taste of purified water, or if you\u2019re (justifiably) scared of the myriad pharmaceuticals that find their way into city water supplies, you have some choices. However, remember that New York City has some of the country’s best tap water<\/a>, and you may be fine without a filter.<\/p>\n You can buy bottled water, but that means lots of expense and extra recycling trips, as well as valuable storage space.\u00a0You’re better off with a water filter. There are some great carafe filters, but if you\u2019ve got a small refrigerator or countertop, get and attach an on-faucet water filter. You\u2019ll need to buy filters to keep the water clean, but they\u2019ll more than pay for themselves by comparison to buying bottled water.<\/p>\nGet an On-Faucet Water Filter<\/h2>\n
