Seltzer water usually is cheaper than the bottled spring water, at least
in the single sizes. Frequently safeway puts their seltzer water on sale
at 6 twelve ounce cans for $.99. Th only thing that beats that is gallon
"milk" jugs, and the plastic in those does not seem as durable.


The water goes on sale a lot. I just got a 24 pack of 16.9 oz bottles
for $3.99. Same price as the seltzer you mentioned, but larger bottles.
And they go on sale frequently.

I like to freeze my water, so I usually stick a case of the water on
the bottom shelf and pull them out as needed. If teh weather is stormy,
I make sure it is full. If the power goes out for a day or so, my ice
will keep stuff cold enough.
