I dig Poland Springs FAR better than Evian, which has some really weird musky sweetness to it, which I freakin hate. PS has a nice crisp flavor.

$5-6/mo is far more for consistency and garrantteed quality and taste? I don't think so. I will stick to my current choice, Walmart Springs Water $1.98/2.5gallon (I usually get 2-3 dispensers/mo).
If you have a family and they each buy one or two bottled water drinks out of restaurants, stores, etc, that quickly becomes $10 a month. If they each buy one a day that becomes $150 a month. If they drink it solely (like many people do) it could easilly reach $500+ a month. Compare that to the pennies a month I drink in tap water (make it $1 a month since I usually use a filter).

Back to the original topic: Evian water, $10 for 5 ounces. Water in a can. If that isn't overpriced, I don't know what is.

$10 for 5 oz? That's grossly overpriced. I'm not arguing that. Like I said, my springs water is only 1.98/2.5gallon. When i am at work, I drink from the water dispenser. When I go out, I usually bring a bottle of Costco Kirkland water (4.99 for 24 bottles or something like that).
