I can not find Washing Soda ANYWHERE in Billings. I asked my local Albertson's to special order it for me, but if they won't I will have to order it online! Yikes! And when I go back to Idaho I am going to fill the trunk because it is so much cheaper there than to order it online.

Try Wal-Mart. The last time I was there they were carrying it again. My local Albertson's stopped for a while but now have it again.

I have looked EVERYWHERE for it in WA too, and the only place that carries it is Fred Meyer. I'm scared they're going to quit selling it soon. Thanks for the warning Alee - I'll have to buy a pickup load before we move to MT!

I am waiting to hear from Alberston's to see if they will order it in for me and the other farm girls here in the area. If not I will make do with another environmentally commercial detergent until I can get up to Idaho in the next couple of months.

The only place that I have found Washing Soda is at the Jewel Grocery store by us. I think they are in the Midwest only. You may want to try a hardware store, the Ace by us used to sell it. I haven't been there in awhile though, so not sure if they still do. Good luck on finding a supply.

Maybe you can get a co-op to start getting it and that way the price could be defused a little.

I've got it here in Miles City Alee.. How much is it in ID? Can I buy it and send it to you cheaper then that?? I *think* a box here was around $6.

I hope Albertson's can order it for you. We have one here but I never shop there. Just let me know if I can help..

Thanks Elise! The price in Idaho is around $4 to $4.50. I might have to come visit you sometime and stock up until I go to Idaho.

Well, come on down! Maybe the price was closer to $5.. I'm not sure! But I do have to go to town next week some time, course I was just there yesterday.

Maybe one of these time I can get to a meetiing and bring it. Tho probly not this month.. we will be weaning and shipping every week so I don't know about getting away...

You really should come then you can be here and help me cook for all these hungry cowboys ;)
I'll even let you do the dishes!

Alee, I get mine at Shop 'n' Save (or is it Save-A-Lot). I think it's the first. My Wal-Mart doesn't carry it - none of them in the area do. Do you have a Shop 'n' Save near you?

God bless -

I had been searching for it, as well. I did find a site online that had 3lb 7oz boxes on sale for $4.50 (but the shipping was almost $5 for one box). I actually just found some at a locally owned grocery store for $2.80 for the 3lb box!

At Reynolds... it's a locally owned store. There are maybe 5 others in Eastern Montana. Montana is the only place these stores are..

We have a place in Mosby and sometimes we go east to shop, MC instead of Billings or Lewistown, so that's good to know. Thanks.

I thought I wasn't going to find Borax for a bit. Walmart had none! Home Depot did though. I haven't run out of Washing soda yet, but you girls make me keep my eyes open so I can pick up a few extra boxes. I haven't checked Ace hardware, that might be another place to check or your local hardware store.
