The 6 cases for 15 is much better for me since it comes out to around 2.50 a case instead of 3.50. I can get water at Costco for 3.50 a case I think.
Nice...guess you trumped my 15!Originally posted by: slikmunks

How long does this stuff last? What is the expiration date?
I know this may be a dumb question, but my wife and I don't drink bottled water that fast.

Well it could get stagnant...I mean, yes there's technically nothing "in it" to go bad, but I'm sure that after being sealed in plastic for 3 years it might not taste quite as fresh. I'm sure that it wouldn't hurt you though.Originally posted by: sat4fun

I am sure that that is a sell by date to ensure some type of freshness standards. Personally I would not worry about keeping bottled water around forever. What possible can go wrong with it.
Also ... they didn't charge me tax. Is there no tax on water anyway? I picked up from the OD in Garden Grove, CA (corner of Euclid and Garden Grove, right next to CostCo).Originally posted by: sat4fun
Got the water, Arrowhead brand, great deal. I would like to point out to those in California that you are not paying any CRV for this. This saves you $.05 per container if compared to Costco. Costco adds CRV. I am not sure about other states, but there is not recycling fees, taxes or delivery added to the order. $35 delivered, no better deal than this. I may order more.

Also, no physical coupon was required to 'get' the water, as some people have mentioned...

Bottled water will eventually go bad, especially once it is opened.
Try this: Drink most of a bottle, leaving less than one inch in the bottom, and put the bottle somewhere where it gets a few hours of sun. Check it in few weeks, you'll definatly not want to drink from it :disgust:
If a bottle is factory sealed, and you keep it in a cool, dry place (or even better cold like a fridge) it will keep for a few years.
An clean empty bottle completely filled with tap water will probably keep longer, since there is a higher clorine content. Just make sure you fill it to the top, with little or no air.
