White Vinegar

Anyone know where you can buy 5L packs of distilled white vinegar from the High Street?

I know you can get it online via Amazon etc but you always take the risk of something like this getting damaged and spilt when ordered online so I would prefer to buy it from a physical shop if I can. Most places I've been to only seem to stock 500ml-750ml bottles.

You got any "zero-waste" type shops around you? We have one in our area, you take in your own container and fill it from a bit tub with a tap.

I do but wasn't sure this was the sort of thing they stock. I shall check, thanks.

First hit on high street shops https://www.iceland.co.uk/p/sarsons-distilled-malt-vinegar-5-litres/74589.html

Or if you have a friendly local independent shop that has a Booker or Makro account, they may well be able to get you a can or four.

Yeah worth checking, I'm sure not all do! Some backups already posted by FreeBear just in case not

Every time I've looked into this, it has been cheaper just to buy the individual small bottles in Tesco.  That Iceland 5L pack seems typical of this - it works out at 1£/L whereas the Tesco bottles work out at 70p/L.

I too have started buying the smaller bottles from Tesco and refilling a spray bottle.

No reason why you can't do it for a 5L canister.

I read a lot of guff that it wasn't as strong as the suff sold for cleaning. It works just fine. A little better if anything and doesn't have all the chemicals in the fluid sold as White Vinegar for cleaning.

I've found the glass Sarsons white vinegar bottles screw directly onto a spray head that previously was on a glass (windolene) cleaner bottle - no need to decant.
