Live in Vero Beach, Florida, along with my Anova Precision Oven. Went to 3 Walgreen’s, 2 CVS’s, 2 Walmart’s, 1 Target (Their website said it was in stock and site was updated today) and 4 Publix grocery stores. Checked all water aisles and end caps including baby sections.

Nothing, Nada. Zilch.

I would have probably been OK if I didn’t have to clean the steam chamber.

My question is, are people in larger cities having a shortage of distilled water? If not, I guess I’ll just have to drive up to Orlando or down to West Palm Beach, both about a couple of hours away.

Is there an alternative? Maybe vodka could work?

Here in Vero Beach, both Walmart and Sam’s, no distilled water. HOWEVER, Walmart’s Neighborhood Grocery, HAD water!

I wrote to my condo’s Facebook page and someone responded saying The Dollar Store had distilled water. So, there is that as well.

Same thing happened to me - I went to CVS, Target and Walgreens - NADA. I went to my local TruValue hardware store and there it was!

TruValue or other hardware stores or auto supply stores? here in Portugal, all super markets have 5 liter jugs of distilled water for 0.99 euros (1 1/3 gallons for $1.07)
