I have just bought a 1.5l bottle of Highland Spring Carbonated Mineral Water from Safeways at a special offer price of 59p. I also bought a 2 litre Safeways Glencairn Scottish Carbonated Natural Mineral Water for the same price, but not on special offer.
They are both very gassy and have simnilar analysis ingredients. I am no chemist but give or take a gram or three they are the same. They both taste the same to me and are equally highly fizzy.
I like sparkling water, but drink the French Badoit, (Pronounced Badwa) which is what I would describe as mildy aerated and very pleasant to drink on its own if you like that sort of thing. One litre costs 84p in Safeways and 79p in Sainsburys. It is a complete rip off. I live close to the Channel Ports and regularly come back from France with a couple of hundred bottles of the stuff which cost me 38p per litre in Le Clerc supermarket (which I can pay for on any credit card except as usual - Amex)
If you realise that the buy the stuff in mass job lots and it can't cost more than 5p per bottle to transport over here, think of their profit margin.
Anyway, no I won't buy any more Highland Spring but I will buy the Glencairn, simply on price, there is no other difference, and I will buy it for mixers and to supplement my precious stocks of Badoit.
