lol, really were paying 60p/cents for water in a bottle, when we can pretty much get it free from our taps.
Tap water has a lot of crap floating in it that won't be found in bottled water (I know, a lame defense of overpriced bottled water). But it's only fair to point that out.
Filtering your tap water is a much cheaper option, though. That's what I do. A filter can be had for about $13 (on sale), and filters 100 gallons of water. That's 13 cents/gal, or less than 2 cents for a half liter.
Reusing your old bottles saves money too. I still have bottles in my car that I've been using for three years. As long as they don't stink, I'll keep drinking out of them.
If you are going to buy bottled water, buy it a gallon at a time. My favorite is Deep Rock, which costs 89 cents/gal, or about 12 cents for a half liter. That's not too bad, and Deep Rock is as good or better than any imported water IMO.
