This is clearly a different question, as it includes average price and most places, which the OP’s question did not address,

I think it's more respectful and more helpful to take the OP's question seriously rather than twist it into the question I think he should be asking. I mean, if he's complaining about water bottles costing >$10, what is more helpful than directing him to water bottles that cost <$10...? So that's what I did.

Frankly, if I can get an item at the price I want to pay, why would I care that the average price was higher?

What you didn’t state was WHEN the last time you bought a bottle in the US. That’s an important piece of information.
