Best Buy apologizes after charging $43 for cases of bottled water near Houston
HOUSTON, Texas — Electronics retailer Best Buy said Wednesday that a viral photo of cases of water selling for more than $40 was “a big mistake.”
The photo shows a 12-pack case of Smartwater being advertised for $29.98 each, while 24-packs of Dasani were shown to cost $42.96.
The company was accused of price gouging in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and was quickly ridiculed on social media when the photo was posted.

But, it is not price gouging when they normally sell a single bottle for $2.50. I generally buy a 12 pack of the store brand for $3.50 (29 cents per bottle)
