can't find vinegar

FirstClassMale

After reading a few of the OS tips I decided it was time to buy some white vinegar. I poured over the shelves of my ASDA, looking at malted, extra malted, virgin malted, malteser malted etc. Could I find plain white vinegar? NO!

I plumped for stuff called "non brewed condiment" it contains water and vinegar, the majority being water. Will I just have to use more of it or should I look out for proper vinegar in another shop?

I really should have asked earlier as, if I hear it causes irrevocable damage, the 3 month old Smeg dishwasher I decided to try it on is now in the middle of it's cycle.

I got some distilled vinegar from ASDA. Seems to do the job. Its a clear liqid in a clear glass bottle.

Try Chinese supermarkets. Wing Yip's in Manchester sell it in LARGE quantities. They also sell large quantities of Bicarbonate of soda - another OS must have

There are Wing Yips around England but not sure of Scotland - Sorry

Health food shops sell 5ltrs of distilled white vinegar - also, as exlibris points out, large bags of bicarb too.

It's the best way to stock up (for me) because then I can spend 20 mins making up the various solutions I need from them.
