Where would be the best place (online or local) to get dry goods such as superbuffer and kalkwasser?

I buy my dry good from drsfosterand smith.com they have pretty good prices on stuff like that.

If possible, I try to DIY whenever I can to save money, because I'm a tightwad :)

kalkwasser = Ms. Wages Pickling Lime.
buffer = baking soda, part of it baked to neutralize.

Other than those, I would buy locally from Rich, he has good prices on what he has in stock.

That sound like the best way to go. The cheeper, the better.
Where can you get Ms. Wages Pickling Lime? Do you use the same amount as kalkwasser and buffer to dose with. How much buffer do you bake (1/4 1/2?)? And at what temp do you back it?

Oh and are there any other DIY on dry goods that would be a good idea to dose with?
