While I have never bought water from my LFS, every time I'm in there I end up with some impulse frag.
To answer the OP's question....
My LFS is a 2 hour drive away, couple that with the 1$ a gallon + 30$ for gas x 10G a week WC = 40$ a week. I can mix up an entire 200G box for what it would cost me to buy 10G's of water.
I couldn't begin calculate what it's saved me over the course of a year between QT, TTM, top offs, testing etc.
You'll use way more RO/DI then you think you will, and it's not just for mixing your salt into either.
