Grocery Shopping today in Southern Cal - Someone bought all the gallons of water in the last few days I went to Big Lots which has always had spring water for $1/gal for the last 2 years. I don't drink tapwater, and I try not to cook with it. So I need at least 6 gallons of water a week. Today the Big Lots didn't have any, and when I looked into it, the clerk said someone had come and bought 40 of them at once. So I got everything else I needed, including some distilled water.  Then I went to Vons, someone had bought all of their Spring water too! I was able to get the generic springwater 2.5 gallon containers and one regular arrowhead gallon. All of the stuff I usually get was gone. I asked a clerk about it, and he said the same thing, someone had come in and bought all of it at once.
