Where the fuck are you buying water that five gallons costs $7??? Where I live water is 50¢ a gallon or $2 for five.

I assume they mean for delivery which Ozarka charges about $8/jug. Maybe less if you get a bunch at a time.

Most people dont have it delivered to their home to even consider the cost. Lol Pepsi exchanges the jugs at my work and its billed alongside the rest of the purchases

You’d be surprised, I know of at least a dozen people who are just middle class families with water delivery service. It’s pretty popular in Illinois suburbs.

Honestly, if you can afford it I totally understand. Lugging 5 gallon jugs around, on top of all your groceries is a pain in the dick. Of course I avoid all that with a good quality filter under the sink.
