where to buy Lime for kalkwasser?

I could not find any at Walgreens, Walmart or Shop n' Save...

Am I looking in the wrong places?

Not all Walmarts carry it. The Super Walmart out by six flags (Is that Eureka???) carries it in the grocery section.

I'd try Dierbergs or Schnucks if you can't make the drive.

Schnucks was going to be my next stop. Where do they place it in the store?

I'd look in the baking section first, possibly someplace around the canning supplies.

I have found it at Dierberg's, but not at Schnuck's.

Dierbergs, but not all of them have it. I found it at the third one I tried.

I get Mrs Wages at King Soopers (what a dumb name) here in Denver. Would that be Kroger in MO? It's in the canning section.

I don't know if this help you much as I'm on the east side, but I bought my Mrs. Wages as Super Value in Troy, IL. I believe Super Value and Shop n' Save are owned by the same people.

The last time I asked, the salesman gave me a look that said 'you are into canning foods!?'.

This is freaking ridiculous. I should have just bought a Ca reactor. I spent all day today driving around trying to find the stuff and no luck. I must have gone into about 12 stores...

If anyone knows a place please let me know.

I know for a fact there is a shelf of it at the IGA by my house. It's on the corner of Elm and Hawthorn. It's a pretty good drive from your place though.
