that's what she said
Bought it at Woolies yesterday for $11! :-(
If you haven't opened it, simply return it to your nearest WW and snap this up quick smart! :)
Even if you open it, just buy another one at coles for 5.50 and return it to woolies for 11 bucks. Use to do this all the time when stuff I bought suddenly comes on special.
Whoa Jackfruit's full of ideas! Great tip!
Thanks, appreciate the heads-up ….. sounds like a plan (as already opened)
Won't they scan it to return/refund product(s)? If that's the case then I thought if the barcode is different to the one you early bought it won't work, no?
Still have 6 from the last sale :P
Thanks, needed a restock of these.
Help me understand, please. Why buy bottled water? When I lived overseas we bought it because you knew not to drink tap water. Upon returning to Oz I installed a water filter but still see no reason to buy bottled water. Is it because you are taking it to work, the gym or something like that? No hate intended. I am just curious about why people spend money on bottled water when it could be used to increase their hoard of eneloops instead.
Keep couple on my car all the time, like 1 in each of the door storage and couple in boot. When we are out and about, just grab one each instead of buying softdrink. Believe it or not when you have bottled water around, you tends to forgo soft drink. Also as mention below, kids just grab them to school, refill them few times in the bubbler and chuck it out. God knows how many good quality water drink bottle I bought them dissapeared.
Because it doesn't taste like liquefied gravel, rocks and sand with a pungent, chlorinated after-taste.
I don't know what your local water supply is like (as it does vary greatly), but where I live, you could double-blind taste test me 'till the cows come home; I can taste tap water from a mile away.
I know my local catchment area in WA. I've been to Mundaring Weir many times. Personally I've seen algae blooms the size of ships out there and people bathing their damn dogs in the water. So if I choose bottled rain water or underground aquifer-sourced water over the free-for-all potpourri of Water Corp's 60 million kilolitre, 100-year old bathtub; I consider that an informed decision.
It is also, as you mentioned, convenient to take around with you.
You'll find others who oppose it on water fluoridation grounds, the presence of contaminants like industrial run-off (pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers) and trace amounts of everything from arsenic to cyanide (as well as heavy metals like aluminium) perhaps mixed in with whatever lines the decaying pipes between your local water catchment area and your house.
While those all may have some merits; personally it's the glaringly obvious fact that it tastes like shit.
Most analyses of tap water versus bottled water show bottled water to have statistically fewer impurities but nevertheless the bottling and distribution of bottled water consumes resources and produces emissions (only 35% of the plastic is ever recycled), in addition to allowing businesses to capitalise and monopolise the very lifeblood of humanity itself. Bottled water is far from being beyond rebuke and there is plenty to take issue with it, so it is a choice of lesser evils I think.
In Europe for instance, tap water and bottled water is far closer in taste than in Australia, if I lived there I would probably never buy bottled water.
Upon returning to Oz I installed a water filter
Define "filter".
Because contrary to how they're advertised, $20 Brita filters do not remove any of the above-mentioned foreign containments. Try a 0.5 micron, PSI reverse osmosis filters with UV globes for $350 plus regular filter replacements of $88. That'll actually do something for your water quality rather than just remove bad taste.
My filter is the kind you talk about. .5 micron and there are two of them that filter out different things. Thanks for the post and info.
Tldr, have a neg for wall of text
Uber drivers cannot offer passengers eneloops ;)
simply becuase it's handy to take a bottle when going out somewhere. I was getting sick of bought refillable bottle being lost, damaged, leaking, in our family. These bottles are cheap,we refil a few times until it gets lost or thrown out.
Its not for drink at home, for going out and saves paying $3-$4 a bottle while we are out.Really though, plastic bottles are terrible on the environment, just get a proper water bottle and use it.
As my old comment says, the refills bottles get lost all the time so don't suit.
Why? Because my teenage daughter takes them with her when travelling to school, when going out, etc. And no, the generic containers simply won't pass muster!
23 cents each. Save the bottles and cash them in for container deposit. 13 cents each.
Only applies in SA and NT right? No way I will transport them from NSW ;)
TA i seriously love you. though this just a water bottle deal but it means a lot to us. thanku!
Yep will be stocking up again. Converted from the soft drink deals we used to see here. Kids take it to activities, I take it driving them, and no lost brand name water bottles with funny straws. Cant beat it.
But at home the fridge is full of water jugs, especially this time of year.
Aussie water?
yes.
Nice find Mr TA! Will be stocking up for the Chrissie road trip.
It's cheap for sure, but am I the only one here who thinks the Frantelle has tasting notes that read like the contents of a vacuum cleaner bag?
It is currently $6.50 (was $13)online and the catalogue online.
"Offer valid Wed 23 Dec - Tue 29 Dec 2015" SA
Time to stock up :D
