Walmart is a giant retailer, Dee.  Many Walmarts include a full grocery 
department -- those stores are called Super Walmarts.  But that's just one 
department in a department store.  *Supermarkets* (per se) sell only 
groceries.  MA

I thought Walmart *was* a supermarket?  They don't sell distilled water in our 
supermarkets here, only mineral water.  You can buy it in garages, but only in 
small bottles which would cost just as much if you bought a couple of gallons.  
Also, don't know what the quality would be either.  I did think about a 
distiller but couldn't decide which would be best.  Our water here is as hard 
as iron - literally - and I think it would cause lots of problems with scaling 
as well.  dee
