Kents Kalkwasser Mix, Mrs. Wages pickling lime, or Ball's
Are these all the same?

From all the articles and threads that I've read, Yes. Go with which ever one you want/is available to you/is cheapest. I've been using Mrs. Wages for over 2 years now.

I have been using the Kent's kalk mix ($15.00) per pound, I wanted Mrs. Wages but I could only find Ball's 100% natural pickling lime($1.99) per pound. Amazing difference.

Walmart or H-E-B?
Do they sell Mrs. Wages at Walmart or the H-E-B's found in Texas? If so, which section in the store. I was looking like crazy yesterday.

I haven't found Mrs Wages in Texas at Wal-mart and I believe tha Ball discontinued making it. If you have a Fiesta mart in Laredo though they carry it as Cal Mexicana in 4 oz bags at $1 per bag. (It's used to make tortillas.)

I just recieved a case of Mrs. Wages by UPS. $55 (including shipping) for 12 cans.
I couldn't find any in the grocery stores so I ordered online. Well worth the money.

I bought mine online as well. It's very inexpensive and is food grade so you get what you pay for. I buy a case at a time.
You can buy it here. http://www.canningpantry.com/pickling-lime-case.html Regards, Pat
