Local place to get Pickling Lime

[bsk997]

Anybody know of a store in OC that sells Mrs Wages Pickling Lime. Looking to maintain my alk & cal paramaters cheaply and I couldn't find it around here. I went to Walmart near Beach and the 22 and they didnt have it. Also went to Vons and no go there either.
Most people have said you can pick it up at walmart but I didnt see it?

I guess I could order online but would rather save the hassle.
Thanks

I don't think you can get Mrs. Wage's - I tried before. :/ .... I think that's an East Coast item ... ?

You can get it online pretty cheap, you just have to buy a couple of bags to make it worth it.

did you guys try wallmart?

Yep. Tried Wally world. They had a few similar products to make pickles, but all of them where the complete ingredients, and not just plain pickling lime.

I heard Ethnic Stores like Chinese, Indian or Mexican may have Pickle Lime. I will try to hit some this week.

Pickling lime is something you see in farm country; I'm not sure you'll find it on the shelves in LA unless maybe out in the deep suburbs/horse country of SD or SB county, etc.. Not many housewives are into canning around here.

For no more than a small tank uses, the higher grade Seachem, etc. kalk really isn't much of an expense, especially if you get it on sale or order it online with a bunch of other equipment.

I went to 99 Ranch (Chinese food store), Ralphs, Stater Bros, Albertsons, Trader Joes, Korean Food Store and no luck.

Atlast, I broke down and got 12lbs for $60. If any one is interested I will sell 6 lbs for $30. Pick up only.

Thanks Simon

Did you buy it locally?

It was part of GB. I got 100lbs but I dont think I will need it because my tank's PH is high now.
