Teresa replied on June 12, 2008 14:33 to the question "Difference in water price" in Whole Foods Market:
Hello Sarah!
The difference in pricing on these items is due to the difference in packaging materials. The PET (clear) plastic is more expensive to produce than the HDPE (frosted) plastic. There is a slight storage benefit when using PET plastic. For our customers that buy several gallons at a time, the PET gallon is the ideal product. For our other guests that buy water for immediate consumption, and want a great product at a value price, the HDPE gallon is the preferred item.
Thanks for the question!-

Hey Sarah, Thanks for the question. I don't actually know the answer, but I will make sure that someone with the knowledge responds here. Again, I'm not privy to the reason for the price difference, but can tell you that different packaging can vary in price, which would impact the final retail price. Anyway, be sure to check back here for an answer. Hope all is well with you. Thanks. -
Sarah asked a question in Whole Foods Market on June 12, 2008 05:11:
Difference in water priceI love your store. I have noticed that you sell a 1 gal of your 365 water in the frosted plastic container for .99 cents, but sell another 1 gal of 365 water in a clear plastic container for $1.19. The only difference I can see is that the clear plastic containers has a paper handle while the .99 cent container has a built in handle. Why the difference in price? Thanks -
