![24x 600ML Pack of Ice House Water $5 @ Coles [Spearwood]](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/38/131938.jpg?h=c4e1d4fd)
Good tasting water. Works out to 31cents/L. Best price I've ever seen is $6. Usually $10.85.
Coles in Phoenix shopping centre, Spearwood, Cockburn region. Would say it's at all Coles stores.

Thanks for fixing the link. But still shows over $10.
Officeworks price-match? http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Kitchen-and-Cl…
Will have a look if it's at any other WA stores tomorrow.
Officeworks could possibly pricematch, would be unsure how they would react to it with their policy rules. And theres no real advertisment of the deal by Coles, just a stack of water in the store. Just showing what the water looks like
A photo of the ticket price and stock would suffice. It's worked before.
Definitely not all stores.
BTW, don't link to google search.
Bought a 24 pack of water at woolies a few days ago for $8, this is even better!
(And drinking my water as I type this!)
Cockburn region
ಠ_ಠ
Pronounced "Co-burn". It was named after Admiral Cockburn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockburn_%28surname%29
But yes, that name was the bane of many a primary school teacher who had to mention it in class for whatever reason.
For anyone that's interested and in the area, Harbourtown Fruit Barn on the Gold Coast has Nature's Best mineral water 600ml 12 packs for $2.99. See here
Nice find! Might want to stock up on this thanks to dafatha's confirmation
Minor correction
$5 (500c) for 24x600mL (14.4L) is 34.7 cents per Litre (500/14.4).Water from my tap is free (or approx $0.008/l including supply fee). Now THAT's a bargain.
what about the 24 plastic bottles that i can reuse?
What are you gonna do, have an oversized herb caddy?
make ice for 40+ degrees days obviously
Yeah tap water includes free flavouring. Tap water is awful its no comparison
Yes, but a $20 under-sink filter cartridge lasts me for years here. Tastes good, and safer than bottled.

My ass it does and my ass it is.
It's a choice of lesser evils anyway. With bottled water you get BPA leachates that contain endocrine and hormone disruptors (even in BPA-free bottes; no such thing as food-grade plastic), and with tap water you not only get fluoride but industrial run-off (pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers), trace amounts of everything from cyanide to arsenic as well as heavy metals like aluminium (all of which accumulate in your body to dangerous levels over time), chlorine, and whatever lines the decaying pipes between your local water catchment area and your house.
And no, your $20 filter does not filter any of that. Try a 0.5 micron, PSI reverse osmosis filter with UV globe for $350 plus regular filter replacements of $88: http://www.psifilters.com.au/twin-undersink/premium-twin-und…
Most analyses of tap water versus bottled water show bottled water to be statistically purer but nevertheless the bottling and distribution of bottled water consumes resources and produces emissions (only 35% of the plastic is ever recycled), in addition to allowing businesses to capitalise and monopolise the very lifeblood of humanity itself.
As I said, the lesser of two evils.
With bottled water you get BPA leachates
OMG, try reading a little before you panic. Some bottles (e.g. hard ones made from polycarbonate) contain BPA, but not the ones used for selling bottled water.
Charcoal filters do not remove flouride (a communist plot sapping our precious bodily fluids!?) but they remove the taste of chlorine and rusty pipes very well.
well as heavy metals (all of which accumulate in your body to dangerous levels over time)
hysterical overstatement much?
Yep some bottled water is more suitable for a small percentage of the population. Bottled water also has its place in times of disasters but for the vast majority of us tap water is absolutely fine. With some exceptions I'd be very surprised if most people could tell tap water from 'pure' bottled water in a blind taste test. In fact just found a small sample set which suggests just that http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/drink/bottled-water-put…
Here's another American one: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=126984
or: "The consumer advocacy group, Choice, found in blind taste tests
that drinkers could not distinguish between a popular brand of
bottled water, Mt Franklin, and Sydney tap water.""In summary, when compared to most Australian tap water,the bottled water alternative is a very expensive beverage,with negligible, if any, additional health benefits. It also greatly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, precious water resource extraction and creates a huge solid waste problem."

That's your rather infantile projection. I'm merely stating my conclusions after being health and food conscious for a number of years now; how people choose to interpret them is up to them.
some bottles (e.g. hard ones made from polycarbonate) contain BPA, but not the ones used for selling bottled water.
No. Literally all plastic will leech contaminants into stored food or liquids when exposed to enough heat, light or rough handling. It's a question of when and how much; not if.

A bit like using air fresheners to combat air pollution.

It correlates quite well with the ridiculous increase in neurological and degenerative disorders in the Western World like Alzheimer's, Parkison's, Autism, Dementia and MS:
http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web…Heavy metals are known neurotoxins and in the brains of elderly Alzheimer's sufferers, incredibly high concentrations of heavy metals, particularly aluminium, is found.

I've tasted bottled and tap water on 4 different continents in numerous countries; now unless I am gifted with extraordinary powers of sensory perception, I can spot it as easily a fake goddamn Rolex. And by spot it, I mean sometimes by physical observation even before tasting it, even here in Australia.
Unless your regional water supply is legendarily pure; which the majority are not after the privatisation of most utilities which all but mandates cost-cutting and ruthless disregard for public safety, you're either buying the worst bottled water money can buy, drinking from the Fountain of Youth itself or flat-out lying.
I got a bottle of water last week that tasted like chlorine but that was the only problem I've had with bottled water.
Used to drink tap and couldn't tell probably because a layer of chemicals permanently coated my mouth. I could smell algae when showering though which i've found over most central coast.
After drinking good bottled water I can majorly tell when its tap water. It tastes exactly as described chemicals metals and unclean.
Reply to the amazing Amar89.
Amazing. According to blind tests - not just in this country - you are indeed gifted but I admit yours is the first claim I've read regarding alzheimers, etc etc. Can we arrange a controlled blind test for you as soon as possible? You could end up being the sniffer dog of the human race saving us all from Parkinsons, Dementia, Alzheimers, MS, …. I'm truly surprised that long time researchers into all these diseases didn't see just how simple prevention and cure is. Nobel Prize in Medicine surely heading your way.
Can confirm this is also on at Mountain Gate Coles in VIC, just bought one over the weekend
Where's the link? All I see are Google photos. As a Learner, we're going to need a little more evidence. Thanks.
