Mount Franklin 20x500ml bottles are $5.50 in the Coles Vic metro catalogue, expect them to be dearer in some other states.

I know. We miss out on tap-water at $0.55 cents a liter. To think, when Coco Cola said they were going to sell us our own tap water, some people thought it was a joke…
$7.75 in SA, what a joke… More than even the $0.10 extra
Whilst the return is 10cents per container to consumers, it costs more than this per container to deliver the program. The unclaimed bottles/cans cover some but not all of these costs.
Tax on plastic water bottles along with the plastic bag ban are among the poorest decisions made in our country. Complete failure of governance, federal and state.

FIFY.
Heck yeah.. eau pure :)
$5.50 in WA
10 litres of water for $5.50 isn't a bargain…
Compared to the $3.50 to $4 they charge for the same single bottle from a vending machine, its a bargain. Admitittadly, it's a very dubious baseline for determining value.
Compared to free from a tap.
Only really comparable if you include cost(s) of filtering tap water…
If you're lucky enough to have tap water already of equal quality, lucky you.

The springs at Mt Franklin, haven't been filtered.
@jv: It's filtered (similarly to tap water), though is bottled right away rather than passing through a dirty pipe.
If tap water is fine where you are then enjoy it, but for a lot of us the water has a very odd taste out of the tap.

Oh, you live in Adelaide..
Now I understand…
Plastic landfill isn't a bargain.
Do ACT & QLD have 10c refund?
Why NSW charge more on the water?
10 cent refund scheme. Surely you know this by now … Return and Earn?
I was counting on Amazon to price match them so I don't have to carry them myself.
I'm genuinely curious, what do you use bottled water for that is worth the premium over just filling up a water bottle from the tap?
I don't regularly buy water.
I mainly buy bottled water when visiting a friend's shack. Aside from the fire suppression tank (which we don't drink) the closest public accessible potable water is ~80km away. The rule is that guests leave at least 5L of sealed water so that if anyone got stranded there is adequate emergency water. There is to be at least 100L of sealed water at any given time and the water is "rotated" to ensure it is fresh. We usually take 40L of tap water and 10L of bottled water.Ironically the other times I bought bottled water was at work. We had to give water to conservation volunteers because they regularly "forgot" to bring enough water in summer. The levels of cringe were unbelievable when they would brag about how enviro they were at the start of the day but then required bottled water mid-afternoon. The most common excuse was water is too heavy and they thought there would be drinking taps in the bush… That was about 5 years ago though, hopefully they aren't still that bad.
