Buying in bulk - vinegar etc

[Deleted User]

Can anyone recommend an online shop where I can buy a great vat of white vinegar, big boxes of bicarb etc for cleaning; I can only find very small quantities at my local shops or online supermarket. I'm looking for cheap stuff, reliable seller and low P & P (obviously!).
Thank you!

Doesn't answer your question really but I got a 5 litre container of white vinegar for a couple of quid from the local veg shop before Christmas - they bought them in for pickling. Whether any of the local veg shops near you have any might be worth checking as its going to be expensive on delivery charges due to the weight.

I'd like to know where I can get bulk vinegar and bicarb mail order too

The problem with bulk buying relatively low value but heavy items liek vinegar mail order is that the postage costs wipe out any savings - so on summer naturals you can get 5l of vinegar and 1kg of bicard for £7 but postage is £6!

I was also going to suggest http://www.summernaturals.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index I haven't used them but they look OK but as said P&P is an issue.

I have bought white vinegar from a chinese supermarket and that was a good price, I suspect our local agricultural store probably sells it as well but I haven't looked.

I've used them and they're very good. It adds up the P&P as you go along.

You can buy huge 25kg bags of Soda Crystals (much better for general cleaning than bicarb) from Chinese supermarkets eg Asiana, Wing Yip - usually around £11 - £12.

You could even try the manufacturer direct if you are seriously buying in bulk. www.dri-pak.co.uk . They do vinegar and bicarb too.
