Now, let’s compare. Going to the store yourself? A 5-gallon jug at the grocery store costs about $4 to $7. No delivery fee, no rental—just you, some weird looks from other shoppers, and a bruised lower back.
Delivery, on the other hand, costs 30% to 50% more for the same water. But you’re paying for convenience. No lifting, no driving, no awkwardly trying to fit a jug in your trunk next to your gym bag.
If you’re lazy (like me) or have bad knees (also like me), delivery is worth every penny. Your spine will thank you.
