Save Money The Next Time You Make A Hot Beverage With This Savvy Tip

With December comes the coldest season of the year. And what drinks do you typically crave during winter? Probably hot chocolate, tea, or coffee.

Just thinking about it brings about a cozy feeling.

But indulging in these yummy cravings can be pretty expensive. For example, a simple coffee requires you to have, well, coffee in whatever form you prefer, and sugar, milk, or water. Plus, you’ll need a cup, a coffee pot, and electricity to run it.

One crafty TikToker offers you a way to cut some expenses though.

Meet carlosmanwelly, a man that blew the internet’s mind with his cost-of-living hack.

His 21-second video on how to save money on making a cup of tea got almost 2 million views and over 1,900 comments.

His simple solution? Recycle your iron water.

“To save money, instead of boiling the kettle to make a cup of tea– After I do the ironing, I like to use the water from the iron to fill the cup up. And then I pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds,” Carlos demonstrated in his video. “It’s also a great way to recycle the water from the iron!”

A savvy man indeed. You save gas or electricity by not boiling a new pot and save water by recycling.

Someone commented that living is so impossible right now that they can’t even tell if the tip is even a joke at this point.

Another one shared their own tip of waiting outside in the rain to fill a cup and then popping it in the microwave after as well. (I, for one, think that this tip is more appealing than using iron water, even though it’s likely a joke.)

The comments section is divided. Some people vehemently noped out of the hack, some are acknowledging it, and maybe some viewers were doing the “kombucha girl” face. I’ve scrolled through a considerable number of comments, and I don’t know why, but there’s some kind of an inside joke about the hack being common in Ohio?

And for my favorite comment, one user asked if the hack was a joke and Carlos simply replied, “What makes you think that ?”

Would you be willing to give this extreme hack a try?

That was a rhetorical question. Please don’t try this even as a joke.

Always enjoy a cup of tea, coffee, or what-have-you with freshly boiled water!
