A-Z mart in Hurricane

[H.crispa]

Well folks, I took a trip down to the good 'ol A-Z mart to stock up on pickling lime. It now comes in a nice plastic canister. So I can get rid of the old Mason jar I used to keep it in. I bought them out again... 3 jars. That should last several months. Thing is, Why is this the only place I can find that has pickling lime??? Especially year-round. The price went up from last year from $1.69 to $2.00 a can.

The can made the difference, they are more expensive to produce than the bag. We have a store in the charleston area that carries it year round. I believe it is tom's supermarket in Chesapeak WV

I get Mrs Wages at the food fair in barboursville. They usually always have tons of it.

I bought 3 cans from Krogers the other day. $1.99 I think. 1 pound each.

Krogers West Side Charleston has it.

Dumb question but what is pickling lime used for?

 

[phljess]

It is used to make limewater for addition of Cal and Alk.

I hear the A-Z is trying to sell out/close up. Have a friend who used to work there; shops there now. Another victim of WalMart?????
