It's definitely not "cheap" compared to baking soda, but here's where I got 
mine:

I also got gypsum (CaSO4) and precipitated chalk (powdered CaCO3) from 
them. It may not be very economical if you keep large tanks. I once read 
somewhere that your local pharmacy should be able to get stuff like this 
for you. Things like KNO3 or K2SO4 is a different story - they might look 
at you funny, then call the cops ;-) .
