Good to know about Safeway (thanks anon). I also miss plastic that doesn't collapse when you touch it.

I had been looking for an excuse to go get a gallon.Shadowmosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302898633500446571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703583432502029443.post-60120702663027126942016-05-27T11:46:44.806-07:002016-05-27T11:46:44.806-07:00The Poland Springs jugs have been funky too, for a...The Poland Springs jugs have been funky too, for a while now. With what they've done to Maine it's easy to skip by that brand. <br />Though somewhat more of a pain, i've though about one of those stainless steel filter containers (Berkie maybe?). That would allow the use of tap water which can usually be had for free.Scott and Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783441224612885675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703583432502029443.post-68449882792951856382016-05-26T13:04:15.335-07:002016-05-26T13:04:15.335-07:00Weird, I haven't seen any of the new taller ga...Weird, I haven't seen any of the new taller gallon jugs here.

And not so tippy, plus easier on the wrists.<br /><br />My solution has been to get the jugs at Safeway. Their house brand comes in not only the older style jugs, but PLUS they have screw tops. Not those sad little pop-off tops that just can't wait to pop off and allow water to spill everywhere...<br /><br />Of course those can't stay the same either. NooOOOOooo. Last time I stocked up (like you, I just refill them on my own until they start to die), I found that the regular water had an improved jug design (of the same basic low shape) that put a sharp seam on the inside of the handle right where you grab it. Hmmph. But their distilled water was still in the better jugs (for the time being anyway). I lavishly bought a full set of six :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
