  1. People who pay these crazy prices are part of the problem. But what this shows clearly is this fantasy that the free market will regulate prices in favour of consumers is a complete failure

  2. On Saturday I paid €3 for four 1.5L bottles of this in my local Tesco.

  3. We have no choice but to pay it since there is no other source of drinkable water.

  4. They’re not ‘trying’to charge €3. The *are* charging €3 and you have the choice whether to pay it or not. Convenience stores are always way more expensive.

  5. Supervalue €0.55 for 2 litres.

    Go there for water.

  6. Ah the daily “A convenience store is expensive” post.

  7. Vote with your feet. Bulk buy bottles in supermarkets if you really want bottled water day to day.

  8. It’s fairly simple – don’t pay stupid money for things where you have a much cheaper alternative. If enough people stop paying stupid prices then the prices will eventually drop

  9. I have no problemdrinking tap water which in Dublin which is clrsner if not cleaner than bottled water.

  10. We the people have the power to prevent getting fleeced by these rip off retailers. €3 buys two 5 litres drums of mineral water. Let’s get savvy people.
