Mrs Wages at Walmart in Boerne - Sept 22, 2008

It's been out of stock the past few times I've looked for it, but my wife was there today and picked up a couple cans of Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime for me. She said there were about seven cans on the shelf after she got mine.

I just thought I would post in case anyone else was having trouble finding it locally.

Its a poor mans Kalkwasser.

just what i need poor mans kalk. kent marine is getting exspensive. i should just get a calcium reactor.

It's actually the same thing as what Kent and others are selling, mix it with some RO and you have calcium hydroxide, just at a fraction of the price. This is a great article on it: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rhf/index.php

you usually find it around this time of year because people get to canning foods...

I bought 10 2lb jars this year for $0.35 each at the end of the winter season at Walmart. Great purchase.

That's a smoking deal! I think last time I paid $4 for a pound.
