All winter long we wished for summer, and now that summer is finally here it’s safe to say that it’s going to be a hot season. Temperatures are climbing, and when that blazing sun reaches its peak in the afternoon it’s essential to do two things: reapply your sunscreen and drink plenty of water.

The best way to remind yourself to stay hydrated is to treat yourself to a pretty new tumbler that you can keep refilling throughout the day. But who says you have to spend a lot on cute drinkware? Certainly not Dollar General, who just dropped the most adorable ocean blue tumbler for just $1 — just in time for you to pack for your next trip to the beach.

The adorable tumblers are made from durable and lightweight plastic, so they’re ready to go anywhere you plan to travel this summer. With a fluted exterior, natural wood top, and matching ocean blue straw, these tumblers are so cute that they’ll make you want to drink more water (or iced coffee, seltzer, Diet Coke, or whatever your go-to drink of choice may be).

As is usually the case when it comes to dollar store finds, there’s no telling if they’ll be in stock at your nearest location or for how long. But if you can’t find one at your local Dollar General, don’t worry — Walmart has a nearly identical tumbler that you can buy either in-store or online, and it comes in not one, but two chic colors. It holds 21 ounces, is dishwasher-safe, and comes either by itself or in a pack of four.

The only downside to buying the Walmart tumbler over the Dollar General one is that it’s more expensive, but not by much. The Walmart tumbler is $3.96, but you can bring home a four-pack for $11.98, which saves you $1 on each. No matter how you look at it, it’s a small price to pay to stay hydrated all summer long.
