20 Cents An Ounce

My husband and I took in a MLB baseball game the other night. Before the game started it was pretty hot and we were feeling pretty dehydrated, we needed some water and fast! So we purchased a 20 ounce bottle of water from the vendor for $4.00!

Because it was so hot, we ended up buying four bottles of water for a total of $16.00. Now I understand that MLB needs to pay for salaries and new stadiums, but on really hot days, you'd think they would offer water for less to help keep the fans hydrated. Ok, I'd like to think that they would consider it.

I saw that a few fans had brought in bags of food as well as coolers. Believe me, if I had known that both were acceptable, I would have definitely brought in a cooler full of water and snacks!! We had traveled quite a distance to the game and I had packed sandwiches for the trip, so I had a soft cooler with me. For that price, I probably could have bought a cooler!

I did the math and figured that we paid 20 cents an ounce for the water. It sounds a lot better than saying we spent $16.oo on four bottles of water!
