Why do you have a bag of flour at home?
Why not just buy bread and cake?

Why do you have eggs at home?
Why not just buy your omelets ready made?

Why do you have a bag of sugar at home?
Why not just buy all your cookies at the store?

Have you ever bought the five-dollar bag of
baking soda from Costco? It's the size of a
bag of cement.

If I buy a similar five-dollar five pound
bag of powdered acid, I can make all the
baking powder I want whenever I want.

Do you often talk about making large quantities of a white powdery
substance in alt.home.repair?

You started off this thread by saying, "I bought a ton of Baking Soda at Costco
(sodium bicarbonate), and I want to make a small amount of baking powder."

To make a small amount you can easily find small containers of cream of tartar in the spice area of most supermarkets. Why you can't I don't know, but now you are also changing the parameters of your search. You said small amount, not enough to mix with 5 lbs. of baking soda. You will probably have to order that online or through a restaurant supply. Here is a link:
