My husband just got home from a business trip to Vegas. At the hotel a bottle of water was $4. I can buy a case for under $2.

We do not regularly buy bottled water, but the city has been replacing the pipes on our street so we did stock up because our water could suddenly stop. We also usually try to keep a case in the house anyway because we have several times had our water supply stop with no warning. Normally a case will last us a year.

Always drink tapwater if i drink water. why pay for it? It isn't really better.
What about the Brita filter? We've been using one since 1984 when my then husband used to fly to Germany with his squadron - they only caught on in popularity over here later on

I find it makes my hot tea taste better - no hard water scum on the surface

Well apparently there is nothing wrong with our water here - in-laws from Florida came up and said it was lovely - so cold and refreshing

Have a great day Kurby! (How's the Horror movie viewing coming along?)

I have a secret natural spring on one of the Pocono mountains that produces what is equivalent to Bruce Banner H2O. The water goes through a natural three-tier moss filtering process. Then a final filtration process with filters out sediments down to .01 microns. The filters come from Tibetan monks who labor about two weeks on every filter made from 100 year-old cypress trees form the U-Tsang region. I have rare Eastern Sand Darter fish where the natural spring enters a creek to monitor the purity of the water, as they can only survive in the purist of waters. My water isn’t the fountain of youth, but it is nature’s secret fertility elixir. I wouldn’t even dare look a woman directly in the eye for at least 2 hours after drinking a glass for fear of spontaneous conception. I once brewed a batch of beer from the water. It is still undetermined if the great northeast baby boom of 2004 can be attributed to the Northeast Blackout of 2003 or my batch of Pocono Black Brew.

You think Canadian water is expensive in the US? Canadians would kill for a bottle of my stuff.
