    Tap, or Brita (pitcher or individual bottle).
    Local water has a bit too much magnesium flavor, but it will do

    I have well water (which doesn't taste good at all) so my family and I use to buy bottled water.Well, a few months ago we bought a Brita picther and that takes the bad taste away.It came with two bottles to take where you may go.(NICE) it was only $25.00 and had 3 filters with it..We just bought one for our faucet,but haven't hooked it up yet. So I love the Brita picther and use my tap water..

    Only bottled Spring Water for me. I live in SW FL & I'm on a well. Tastes like crap & City water is nasty too.

    Best tap water I've had is from Bend. Oregon!

    The tap water here doesn't taste that great. The city adds a chemical to raise the pH so it doesn't leach lead out of the pipes in the old houses around here. It gives it a faint bitter taste. A lot of restaurants add a slice of lemon to offset that.

    I just went here http://www.bestplaces.net/find/

    Typed in my ZIP Code, clicked on Search. Then on the next page clicked on Health.

    Says my water quality is 37 out of 100!

    I drink distilled, it doesn't feel you up so you can actually drink more!

    I live in Virginia, and we have well water. As far as taste it is incredible. So fresh tasting and nothing has compared to it....The mineral are hard on the hair though!

    ^^^This...We live in Alabama, and are on a well and use a Brita pitcher, though the water out of the tap tastes just fine..to me.(DH and son like it filtered...). Have to watch for lime buildup in washer, dishwasher, shower, toilet..but I've had well water for so long now, city water tastes nasty!

    I've got the brita filter on my sink, it has saved me SOOOO much money! and my animals love it, Floride is very dangerous for them =(

    I refuse to drink tap water cause of the floride

    Brita filters (or any charcoal filter for that matter) does not remove flouride.

    Filtered when I'm at my parent's house for the weekend (the best!), and I settle for tap at my apartment at school

    I am a filtered girl through and through! I think bottles are a waste, and tap varies so much from one location to the next. Filtered is tasty, somewhat consistent, and environmentally friendly.

    At home I drink either from the tap or from the brita pitcher (which hasn't had a filter change in too long..). At work I refill a bottle with fountain water all the time. As long as the water is cold, it's delicious to me.

    Tap. It tastes good and my city has really good water quality apparently, scores 100% on whatever testing they do. I find it annoying when people constantly buy bottled water instead of filters, if they must - it's so bad for the environment :(

    I'm with you why pay for it when a lot of the bottled water is just tap water anyway.
