But research at Walmart.com shows me that getting the bottled shots is only a tiny bit more expensive than buying a 750ml bottle. If you wanted to save money and be less wasteful, you'd really need to get the 1.75L bottle for 30 bucks. But if it's just you and a friend or two, 10 bucks for 10 shots is a pretty good deal.
Which reminded me that... oh yeah... bottled water at Walmart is usually cheapest when you buy the 40 pack of individual bottles. Cheaper than buying gallon jugs. Unless you want to do the refillable 3 gallon thing... then THAT'S cheapest.
But honestly, we love convenience, and sheer volume of convenience often makes the more wasteful options as affordable (if not moreso) than other options.
I was first hit in the face with this years ago when I realized 8oz of shredded cheddar was cheaper than an 8oz block of cheddar. More work, larger packaging, greater transportation cost, more required display space. But cheaper.
Jeez, we suck.Statistics: Posted by Mike — Tue Jul 23, 2019 11:17 am
