I have new humidifiers and need a bunch of distilled water. I got 10, 1 gallon jugs for 99 cents at a local grocery chain. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Walmart usually has the cheapest prices that I have seen.

Since one just does not simply walk into Mordor, I say we form a conga line and dance our way in.
Excuse me, are you in a play?

Thanks all. I hit Target today (it is closer) and it was 1.49 there so not a deal. I will try walmart later this week.

Would the water that you buy out of the machines work? At WFs it's only .39 and it's what we use in our humidifiers.

No, I just think they recommend it because it has less impurities and less stuff to gunk up the humidifier.

Thanks all. Using distilled water means I don't have to use a filter/descale it. I can use regular water but would need the filter and to descale them every 2 weeks (which I am likely to forget!). OTOH if I have to spend >$1 a gallon I might go this way

I think the distilled water at Walmart is .88, can't remember the exact price but it is definitely less than $1. I buy it there for my Keurig.
