i don't think I ever paid more then $4 a case for poland spring water. It used to 3.99 in store at staples now I believe it's 4.59. It is almost always on sale at one of the major grocery chains @ 3 for 12. I even saw it at shoprite once 3 for 10 and with a poland spring coupon it was 3 for 9

You see cause your very lucky that you live in NJ because people like myself who live in NY have to pay $.05 bottle deposit. Which is $1.20 for a 24pk of water & so that makes a $4.00 case of water now cost $5.20.
So when you pass through NJ, stock up on water! But to pay over $3 for a case of "purified water" (i.e. basically same as filtered tap water)?? Ehh.
I do agree what makes this a deal is not the price, rather that you don't have to pay deposit, and that it's shipped to your door.
