classylady71118 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi Everyone,As most of you know I may have a big order for bath bombs, since first posting I've found out the order is (probably?) for 1200 not 8,000 (the lady that inquired hasn't called back yet with details, but after talking to my referring client she said 1200). In any case I had been buying my citric acid from someone on ebay and until I hear back from Ben E. Keith as to whether they can supply me with citric acid, I need to have another source (if they can't). A helpful person on this board gave me cost guide-lines to use and for 50 lbs of citric acid the cost should run around $40.00. Can anyone direct me to a supplier that has decent wholesale prices? The Chemistry Store pricing was 50 lbs for $70.00 before shipping???? ALL help is MOST appreciated!!!Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Look in the yellow pages under CHEMICALS and call around. I found a semi-local place for less than $1 pp for 50 pound bag. You can find lye that way too:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I have been with Ulrich Chemical for years and they always treat me right. We go pick up in Bartonville (about 40 minutes away) and I know they have alot of different plants in the midwestern area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shani Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I agree with Julia, check local chemical supply places in your area. It will save you a great deal on shipping nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Also check your local beer and wine making supply stores, they sell citric acid too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDGM Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I found it locally at a Janitorial Supply place. The same price as online but without any shipping costs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 How did you do finding a place Beverly? How is everything going?I hope good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darci Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 because of this post I checked locally to see if there was a wine making supply store in the Des Moines area. There is, but they want $15 for a POUND of CA. OMG!!!!At least with bulkfoods.com they include shipping charges, and it's still under $3/lb. yikes.
