My daughter hates doing math and tonight's homework was full of ratios and conversions so I decided to throw one more into the mess because I'm slightly sadistic. So lets figure out what bottle water cost from the grocery store. Ahh Dad!!!
Bottle of Dasani water = 16.9 fl oz
Ounces in a Gallon = 128
24 pack of bottled water = $ 4.50
Dasani works out to be about $1.33 / gallon.
Now I'm CHEAP, all capital letters C-H-E-A-P. So how does this compare with a water filter.
Green Steal's price = $ 19.96
Shipping = $ 3.00
(Holiday Special)
Gallons of filtered water = 2,000
Price per gallon about a penny
(if your kids a stickler for being exact it works out to be $ 0.01148 per gallon)
If your family goes through a case a week of bottled water you'll save around $210 annually. Got any plans for the extra Benjamins?
