Distilled water shortage

All my local grocery stores have NO distilled water, and I was wondering what was up so I Googled it: https://rockymountainwaterdistillers.com/pages/distilled-water-shortage-why-is-there-a-shortage-of-distilled-water
My local Ace hardware store carries some, so I'll buy a half dozen gallons that should hold me for a while...
Have you guys been seeing this in your area?

I will amend my comment. Actually a lot of stores do seem to be out of stock. I found a shelf full but price was $2.99 a gallon! Unreal.

Maryland seems to have a shortage but Florida wasn't an issue.

This thread has triggered my hoarding instincts even though I can filter and boil my own water.

Well, it looks like I'll be using tap water when waterboarding my "friends"

Purified water is close enough to the purity of distilled to be used as a substitute. You wouldn't want to use standard drinking or spring water.

Huh. Had not noticed. Going to the Safeway on The Hill here in DC this morning so I'll take a look.
