The cheap kind. I normally drink tap water and only use bottled water when traveling where it is not easy to refill the water bottle.

I hate the concept of water in plastic bottles. It's horrible for the environment, huge problem of what to do with all of that waste. The prices are insane-it's water!

That said, I was once served Fiji bottled water in a high end restaurant and still think it is the best I have tasted.

I hope it wasn't run by Penn & Teller

The stores want too much for bottled water. So we've been boiling tap water, let it cool, then fill up old POM bottles.

They don't have recycling where you live?

If money was no object, I'd get Fiji, Mountain Valley Spring Water, & those fancy artisan waters, etc., but I've mostly gotten Crystal Geyser.

But for the last month, I've now had my ZeroWater filter dispenser, so NO more lugging up bottles to my apt!
