From a vending machine or at a restaurant?
In Canada that would be about $1.50
Multiply that by 2 and you get 3 bucks for a litre...

Yet people bitch that they have to pay 80 cents for a litre of gas...

Now whats the bigger rip off

 

[Manabanana]

It is my personal belief that the mass marketing of bottled water is a major cause of desertification. I don't buy bottled water.

 

[Freestyler]

Well, water from the tap is free, no?

Sadly we can't just get gas free from a tap in our own homes.

 

[Mr Gump]

This place where near where i work sells 600ml for $1 AUD. Cheapest ive ever seen.

 

[chimpychi]

I know your ripoff.. you don't know where to shop. I live in Canada too, and not only are most vending machines $1 for water (yes there are places that rip you off), but you can get a pack of 12 or 36 at Costco for low low prices [/CostCo salesman]

My dad used to own/operate a bottled water company. He sold it a while ago, but when he was still in the business, that's the same argument that he used in persuading stockholders why his companies were better through being cheaper.

And 80 cents per litre is damn good! Though we've been getting 73 the last couple of days.

I paid 2 euro for a 500ml bottle of water in a cafe the other day. 2 euro !

(that's about $2.55)

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I lap up water from puddles

 

[Naked Snake]

I pay about $2 for a 6-pack of 1.5 Liter bottles (that's 9 liters)... and I only drink bottled water, because my family don't bother installing a filter on tap and that water is seriously not be not drinkable (where I live), plus the water I buy is very affordable and it's convenient to always have a bottle next to me, whether it's on the computer, in bed, or in the car.

 

[The Faceless Master]

yes, in alot of places tap water is free...

 

[Forsete]

The only bottled water I drink is mineral water, very seldom.
Costs about $1, 0.5 l.

Tap water still tastes the best.

 

[Papi]

Rain am teh free.

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

Rain am teh polluted.

Do you LIVE in an airport?

That's not the point, the point is that people bitch about gas prices but are willing to pay outrageous prices for water which they could get for free...

 

[Suerte]

I can't believe that Dasani is the top selling bottled water in America - it's just bottled tap water!! The average american consumer is truely a tard. When Coca Cola tried it over here everyone was like "WTF?! I'm not PAYING for tap water in a bottle!"

You're thinking of AGRICULTURE.

I drink a lot of bottled water. I can get like 35 half-liter bottles for under $5 at target or walmart, even less on sale. That's 10 to 15 cents per bottle. And when I carry those bottles around, I no longer pay the $0.75-$1.00 for sugary coke or whatever from the machines. So I end up saving lots of money.

 

[DDayton]

Northern California has the nation's cleanest municipal water supplies... now, if I was still living in San Diego, I've never go near the faucet.

 

[jiggle]

I stock up on those 1 gallon bottle water when they're on sale for $1 each. I drink mostly cola and milk, so they last for quite a while.

You mean it's safe to drink right out of the faucet here??? I've been told otherwise...

 

[Matlock]

$0.00

I have a litre jug for such purposes

 

[Goreomedy]

My recommendation:

You can get one of these for around $30.

Depending on the number of people using your faucet at home, each filter($10 for a replacement pack of 3) can last 3 months.

 

[BigJonsson]

I don't care how much you pay for water

Most of you have missed the point of this thread...

BOTTLED WATER IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL!

 

[Bristow]

I drink Aquafina. It's about $3 for a 12-pack of pint sized bottles. My parents have a Brita filter and I can honestly say it still tastes like tap water. There is a big difference, imo.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Bottled water is convenient. Also it's cheap if you buy it in cases. I also know of a store nearby that sells a 591ml bottle of water for a quarter.

 

[Manabanana]

You're thinking of IRRIGATION.

 

[Malakhov]

I usually get 32 packs (bottles of 500 ml) for 4.99 CAD. So it comes to about 15-16 cents a bottle.

You're probably thinking of Los Angeles... in some places the water has a BROWN tint to it (though, it's supposed to be "safe" to drink). This is probably due to the fact water has to travel a long ways from northern CA.

Water in San Diego comes mostly from the Colorado.

 

[bionic77]

Brita filter is all you need. Though I still buy lots of bottled water because it is convenient when I am out of the apartment.

Dasani is nasty though. One of the few bottled water brands I have had that seems to taste as bad as DC tap water. I don't know what spring they get their water from, but it seems like they tapped the Hudson river.
