I’m getting 24 1/2 liter bottles for about $4 from Aldi

40 pack at Costco is $2.99
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
Timing is perfect on that one. Buck thirty five when Andy was still working 20 years ago? Probably four bucks now. I had to get some water for fire crew supplies yesterday after getting skunked the day before at the local food marts. Every single bottle flat was skinned off, gallons only. So yep, Costco, three bucks for 40 of those "purified" waters. Actually not a bad deal compared to the name brand "water." I didn't like Andy's positions on a lot of things, but man, he could sniff out stupid better than just about anyone.
Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.
CEO of Nestle - Brabeck-Letmathe (credited as Peter Brabeck) appeared in the 2005 documentary We Feed the World and while speaking on the subject of water, he said "It's a question of whether we should privatize the normal water supply for the population. And there are two different opinions on the matter. The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to water.That's an extreme solution. The other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other, and like any other foodstuff it should have a market value." He added, "Personally, I believe it's better to give a foodstuff a value so that we're all aware it has its price, and then that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this water."
He isn't a very popular man, nor is his company as they pump water out of the ground for essentially nothing and resell it. They recently sold their North American water bottling operations for $4.3billion

have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
Essentially the view given African and other game animals - if they have value, you'll take care of it.
Everything I've ever seen given to people for free or near free/no cost to them specifically - ends up trashed. Public housing is a great example.
That said - Nestle Waters was recently sold to 2 investment type firms. Both known for cost cutting and efficiency driving. One owned(s) Pabst and used to own Twinkie when they went TU.
That 4.3b - IIRC is basically 1 year's revenue to get all the brands, goodwill, plants and physical equipment. Pretty cheap price but water is an ultra low margin commodity.

I get a 1000 gallons for about $6. You are getting raped at Aldis. LOL
Right outta the tap. That’s cool
Do you get 7,570 free plastic 1/2 liter bottles for your $6 ?
GFY Canteen Boy
lol
Touche! You got me there ... fuggin canteens.
OldChapeau should be referred to as Curmudgeon Boy - older and grumpier than dirt.
Canteen Boy is a SNL reference.
Well I did not know that. I'll be honest, I never watched SNL. I was fast asleep when it was on. I guess it was not the zinger I thought ... being borrowed and all.
"Curmudgeon Boy" - that sounds like an oxymoron, it doesn't quite have the ring Canteen Boy had.
I used to always get 40 half liter bottles at Costco for $2.99. The wife said it's too much plastic waste so now we have an office like water cooler that we pay about double for??
Our well driller infected our well with iron bacteria so our well water tastes nasty to me.
