Where to buy baking soda, borax, calcium chloride?

[JohnT]

Baking soda is cheapest at Sam's Club. Borax can be bought anywhere you get laundry detergent. Calcium Chloride is used to melt ice and to add weight to tractor tires, so a hardware store/big box home improvement store in cold climate or a tractor tire dealer.

Calcium Chloride, isn't that salt? Shouldn't you use water softener salt? That does bring up an interesting thing though.

salt is sodium chloride.

Oh yeah, chem was a long time ago, although this site has piqued my interest a bit. What would you need calcium chloride for then?

Buy Baking Soda at Wal Mart or Sam's in the 12 lb. re-sealable bags at around $5 is about the best deal I've seen. Borax can also be found at Wal Mart or the Grocery Store. Calcium Chloride can be found at some Hardware Stores but It seems to me around here, the best price is actually at the pool store.
