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
