Best Buy apologized on Tuesday for its Houston-area store that raised the price of a case of bottled water to $43 as Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc on the region. Journalist Ken Klippenstein tweeted a photo of a Best Buy in Cypress, Texas, about 30 miles from Houston, selling 24-packs of Dasani water for $42.96, and 12-packs of Smartwater for $29.98. The Texas attorney general’s office received hundreds of Harvey-related price-gouging complaints, Klippenstein reported.
