Water filtration
https://a.co/d/4c6qJzV
Cost 33$
replacement filters
15-25$
Per year 45-85
2 cases of Kroger water x2 month
3-4$ per case
156$ per year
Filtration system needs replacing every 3-6 months. I based it off; Top Maintenance and Quality Drinking water.
This also reduces trash and plastic waste
Cons
May require buying a set of stainless steel cups for sorting and avoiding taste/texture mixing due to my sensory sensitivities
Now secondly
RGB Bulbs

28$ 4 pack
I need 4 bulbs
Power Consumption at 10% Brightness:
- Typical power usage at 10% brightness: Approximately 1 watt per bulb (for simplicity).
2. For one bulb running 24/7 at 1 watt:
- Daily consumption: 1 watt × 24 hours = 24 watt-hours or 0.024 kWh.
- Daily cost: 0.024 kWh × $0.12 = $0.0029 (about 0.3 cents).
- Annual cost: $0.0029 × 365 = $1.06.
3. For one bulb running 3 hours per day at 1 watt:
- Daily consumption: 1 watt × 3 hours = 3 watt-hours or 0.003 kWh.
- Daily cost: 0.003 kWh × $0.12 = $0.00036 (about 0.04 cents).
- Annual cost: $0.00036 × 365 = $0.13.
4. For four bulbs at 10% brightness:
- All bulbs running 24/7: $1.06 per bulb × 4 bulbs = $4.24 annually.
- All bulbs running 3 hours per day: $0.13 per bulb × 4 bulbs = $0.52 annually.
If all four bulbs are dimmed to 10% and used as described, the total annual cost would be:
- Four bulbs running 24/7: $4.24
- Four bulbs running 3 hours daily: $0.52
- Total annual cost: $4.76
Edit: I’m getting all of this myself
I'm happy this child is leaving your household such that they've an opportunity to become their own person. They'll let you do whatever when so close to escape. Then, they'll throw it all in a box until you invite yourself over to visit.
You clearly don’t understand my intentions. These specific ideas setup anyone for success. With my current electric bill I’m spending 55$ every year. The kids can most definitely get other products if they wish and we encourage them to research and find out. Though so far this is the best and most efficient option. Passing down beneficial and helpful knowledge. Then it allows them to focus on developing themselves and career or school success.
Oh fuck. One look at the post history and we know exactly how this plays out.
You're an idiot. Accept it. Help with simple things like making dinner and doing laundry. Let the young adult overcome your severe limitations by shutting the fuck up and doing very little.
I’m not an idiot at all rather the opposite and if you would prefer to continue this conversations. Let’s try and keep it directed towards benefits students and our kin.
I can’t tell if you want the kin to work extra and exhaust themselves or if you want to mentally and physically destroy them? Which I tried not saying anything but I would most definitely recommend visiting some therapy. It seems like you most likely were not supported in a good balance. To prioritize and enhance development.
