Aquafina bottled water is made with tap water! Then why do we buy it?

I am going to install a filter on my tap and only drink the tap water and stop wasting money on bottled water. I have been spending at least $15 per week on bottled water. See the article here. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070726/hl_nm/pepsico_aquafina_dc_1

I think its better to install a water filter to drink purified drinking water than buying water from market

I drink tap water at home- It is filtered first- plus I have a fridge that has the water and ice dispenser in it- so a second filter- When I'm on the road I grab bottled water- so nice aquafina is only filtered tap water- No wonder I like it so- some of the other bottled waters taste funny to me- But yes why spend so much on water if it is only filtered water?

This is the case with many bottled waters, and people do not realize that we pay more for gallon of water than gasoline or milk. I like my home tap water pretty well, but I hate the water at my primary job, it tastes sulphurous. I am going to get a gallon at the store for 66 cents and keep it in the break room for me. I will refill it for 33 cents at Wal Mart, from a Culligan machine that purifies four ways. I never thought of that before reading your discussion, thanks for posting, it is helping me get ready for back to school.
