It would also be interesting to see the savings based on 1 year, but if you're gonna do some tests be sure to give your water jugs time to freeze completely

I actually have a few 2 liter soda bottles filled with water in there, but probably could stand to add a few more. Another nice side effect is that I have emergency drinking water in case I need it.
