619020 Mon May 11 12:54:17 -0700 2009 12 12 Boston Area 0 4674027 what happened to gallon (or even smaller) containers of distilled water in grocery stores? I've been looking for the stuff, hit up the local convenience stores - no dice. Harvest Co-Op? No dice. Shaws? No dice. Another Shaws? No dice. Yet another Shaws? No dice. Mind you, they have a lot of the RO stuff at a much more expensive rate but I'd prefer to find gallon jugs of distilled, not spring water. Do people still sell the stuff? Mon May 11 12:54:17 -0700 2009 111910 jgg13 1 4674082 Since distilled water does not taste good (the minerals in water make it taste good), distilled water is not usually sold for drinking. Distilled water used to be sold in stores for electric steam irons before these irons were built to handle water with minerals. It still is used for some medical purposes - look in a pharmacy for it. Mon May 11 13:07:42 -0700 2009 4674027 98619 Delhiwala 2 4674123 But yet they used to sell it with other water in grocery stores (I know, I used to stock it many moons ago) and could swear that I've seen it not too long ago. Mon May 11 13:21:06 -0700 2009 4674082 111910 jgg13 1 4674091 I buy mine from CVS. Mon May 11 13:09:56 -0700 2009 4674027 27342 trufflehound 2 4674145 Ah, good call. I work above a CVS, just popped down and they do have it. Never thought to look there as I didn't want to lug the stuff back home w/ me. But there's also a CVS near where I live that didn't occur to me due to stupidity reasons, I'll check there tonight before lugging any home :) Mon May 11 13:25:49 -0700 2009 4674091 111910 jgg13 1 4674129 Distilled water can always be had at a drug store. Mon May 11 13:22:09 -0700 2009 4674027 43893 C. Hamster 1 4674980 They sell it at Whole Foods, 365 brand, so cheap.... Mon May 11 17:52:49 -0700 2009 4674027 11108 galleygirl 2 4675380 Another place I didn't think to look at. Mon May 11 19:52:10 -0700 2009 4674980 111910 jgg13 1 4675056 I've found it at Shaw's, Roche Bros. & Stop & Shop--Poland Spring is the brand. Mon May 11 18:17:46 -0700 2009 4674027 63181 ShelT54 2 4675383 Hmmm poland spring sells distilled? If so, I probably just overlooked it w/o realizing, assuming that anything w/ a PS label was spring water. Mon May 11 19:52:50 -0700 2009 4675056 111910 jgg13 1 4675328 Walmart has the cheapest distilled water -- approx 77 cents or thereabouts, but is randomly often sold out. Target also sells it (around 84 cents). My dad needs it for his sleep apnea machine so he's pretty much checked out all the local stores and determined Walmart is the cheapest. I'd be curious how much the Whole Foods brand costs; didn't occur to me to check there. Mon May 11 19:35:30 -0700 2009 4674027 48682 taterjane 2 4675427 Walmart cheapest by far. I go through a gallon every other day. Mon May 11 20:11:34 -0700 2009 4675328 106250 joebloe 2 4676109 less than a buck, but I don't remember exactly, beasue I was looking for Spring water, and it was just nearby...I just noticed cuz it cost less....
