- Typical American Consumer pays $1,400 per year for bottled water vs. 49 cents per year for the same amount of tap water
- Blind taste tests show no difference in taste between the two.
- Tap water has stricter safety measures
- 40% of bottled water sold in stores is tap water
- Average price for 20 oz. bottle of water = $1.50. That puts bottled water at about $10.00 a gallon. And I thought gasoline was expensive! (at $10/gal. for bottled tap water shouldn't there be outrage at "Big Water"?)
I like to drink a lot of water. I admit that I do buy bottled water. But, the way I try to save money on bottled water is by using the bottle over and over again to fill it with tap water.
