How important is it to check the ph level when watering your plants? If i was to skip that and use regular drinking water will it be fine?

You should check pH every time you water, otherwise you could be locking out nutes that the plants need or doing damage. Tap water varies in pH.

I do sometimes, but I never had any real problems with my tap water

I think drinking water should be ROed already so I think it's fine

i work at a food supply warehouse and get can bulks of regular drinking water like mountain springs brand and other and if i dont need to check ph on it i would just buy this instead since i get discount.

You won't really get the value of pH'ing your water until you lock out some sh!t and it destroys your grow because you were too damn lazy and trying to take shorcuts. You'll just end up doing more work in the end... you ever tried to flush 64 to a 100 plants that had nutrient lockout problems? Let me tell ya, you'd rather had pH'd the water when you had a chance.
I don't care what kind of water it is, Ro'd, tap, drinking, or whatever else you can name. You NEED to pH, simple as that. If your water is perfect, then so be it... but you still need to check it, and check it after you've added nutes.
