Where to buy Ms. Wages pickling lime out of season?

[swannyson7]

Does anyone know a place that stocks Mrs. Wages out of canning season, or a place online that doesn't kill you on shipping? I just ran out of kalk and I'd like to do things the cheap way. I searched a bit online and everywhere I found charges as much for shipping as it does for the lime. Thanks!

I get it at walmart all yr around.

I couldn't find it at my local Walmart and they looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked. Any other suggestions?

walgreens or walmart. For walmart, it should be around the hobby section (in ours anyways). Should be around other canning goods.

got mine at my super wal mart also in the section where kitchen things are pots pans etc have also seen it in baking goods and last year in the gardening section for some reason they take pleasure in making you hunt for things

Our Walmart only carries it with canning supplies and they only have them out during the season.

This place has it online. It's like $27 shipped for a 6pk of 1lb bags.

I had my wife look at Walmart today. She found the canning jars, but no Ms. Wages out of season. Thanks for the link!

you can use hydrated lime from a farm/feed store also, it seems to be a little more pure than the mrs. wages pickling lime, there is less left over in my reactor at the end of the 2 week period when i change it.

another thing i have noticed is that they add something to the mrs. wages to make it "flow" easier, and the powder from the pickling like doesnt smell as strong as the hydrated lime from the feed store

I bought a 5 gallon bucket full 5 years ago for around $25 and its still 2/3 full. This is the best route to go IME

Isn't BRS Kalk just as cheap? Their shipping isn't bad either.

the 4lb bag from the feed store was 4.50, and no shipping. compared to 7.99 from brs, and that doesnt include shipping, not to mention i would have to wait for it

my local grocery store carries it.

don't ever be afraid to hit up the store manager at wally world and have them bring some in, if they have none in back they tend to be pretty darn good at calling around to other local stores. if everybody is out go to wal-mart.com and have some sent to your store, it's a few days wait but no shipping and it is easy.
