  • Hi

    Does anyone know if it's possible to buy bulk amounts of bicarb and white vinegar online? We don't have an asian supermarket near us.
    If anyone could post a link, I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    I have found Asda to be cheapest for bicarbonate of soda. Needed quite a bit for a Bath bomb making session with my Grandaughter. Researched on line but postage made it far too expensive.

    Hi, Minimal.

    Out of pure curiosity I put this through the MSE Megashopbot (you'll find it on the home page of MSE).

    There are loads of online stockists. Honestly, I won't even try to list them.

    Give it a go...go on :money:


    OOOooo...I've figured out how to add a link!

    Forgot to mention, on Megashopbot choose 'Other' rather than Books or whatever, then enter what you want.

    if you live in London you can buy bulk white vinegar ( 5 litre bottle) and bulk bicarbonate of soda ( 3 kilo bags ) from a Chinese Supermarket / cash and carry called Wing Yip ( google for address) very cheap - vinegar about £2.50 and Bicarb very reasonable too
  • I've bought all the above from wilkinsons, for a reasonable price. You might be able to buy them cheaper individually, if you shop around.
