Consumers facing an uncertain economic future are slower to part with money for luxuries like bottled water than they once were. Ex-consumers of pricey bottled water need not be concerned about making the switch to faucet water.

With this finding, it is advisable to save the money you used to spend on bottled water and instead put these dollars towards healthy and delicious Gobble Green meals!
