Where can I buy large container of bicarb?

:confused: Does anyone know where I can get a large container of bicarbonate of soda rather than the small pots you can buy in the supermarket?

    Chinese supermarkets often have large bags of bicarb- I paid £2.50 for about 3lbs .

    Wilkinson also sell large boxes of Bicarb for abour £0.80p. In with the cleaning products.
  • I couldn't find it anywhere round here, my grandad lives in London and I ended up asking if he could find one for me and he delivered it today! Bless!! He got it from Makro if that helps???

    I asked my local pharmacy to get me a large pack - it came in a handy bucket. I don't think it was particularly cheap though. :)
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.
