No Six Pack Water

Tweet

Normally you might hear me say, and of course it happens to be true, that at the Dollar Tree the six-pack bottled water in half-liter bottles is not a good deal even for a buck. Typically it is not. But, that does depend on your circumstance, and your intent. First the why the six-pack water for a buck is not a good deal at The Dollar Tree. Of course it's because it makes a 24 pack of water $4. And I don't know about you, but I can usually get a 24 pack of bottled water in half liter bottles for $1.99. And sometimes less, like for example when Menards has their bottled water, regular price $1.99, AND they are also doing their 11% off everything in the store deal—which they happen to do at least once a month. But when I am on the road traveling, while I do bring along a few bottles of water with me from home, I tend to run out. And so I can either go to the gas station and pick up a bottle for a dollar or more, or I can just stop at The Dollar Tree and pick up that six pack for a buck. Now it makes sense to do because of my circumstance and my intent. Now, wasn't that a fascinating post? Really I had nothing else, momentarily, to write about, so I thought I'd just write about that. I will do my best to respond to all of your comments—if I can find the time between now and accepting my Pulitzer. THAT all aside, what's with the NO six pack water title? This particular Dollar Tree I went to did NOT have the six pack water. So I wound up buying a 33 ounce bottle instead. Oh well.
