    Almost everything has Tax on now
    It’s quite strange that the price on the shelf is a pre Tax price, how odd

    It's bottled, silly. Just 'cause it's water instead of soda makes no difference.

    Packaging and marketing products costs money.

    Get over it, or use your hard earned cash to buy a beer instead.

    Soda companies realized they'd make more money off schmucks buying water instead of soda and that's why we've got Aquafina and Dasani.

    Some water bottles actually have that the water comes from a municipality. ....and people still buy.

    NEWSFLASH****

    Buy a Brita or Pur water pitcher, pour some of that filtered water in a bottle , freeze it, and carry that with you AT ALL TIMES.

    ....or do cry about the tax for a cold bottle at the at the store.

    That's the idea I'd buy...even though the filter is generally overkill.

    Buy water once and keep filling the bottle.

    Anything else is duh-uh-uh-uh-umb...

    My sister lives in Brooklyn, and doesn't cry about the tax.

    I carry a big jug of water filled from a hose in my truck so that I can fill my liter bottle at work, and then I don't have to pay for my water. It could get expensive when you are drinking close to a gallon a day. I never buy water. why should I when I have eight gallons in my truck? BTW, no sales tax here and loving it. the price on the price tag is what you actually pay. what a concept...
    Plan for the worst, hope for the best
