Large asian supermarkets is where I get mine,In the spice dept,huge chunks,$1.29 Lb,will last for years:)
As far as I know the cheapest place is Tolumba. The blocks are standard size but you can buy them in volume for very little each. My last order was 5 years ago and I still have several blocks.
Well my order came today. These things are bigger than a bar of soap. I am guessing about a pound each. 5 ordered 2 arrived in large pieces. One is going to be enough to destink three or four generations feet pits and maybe pickle some vegetables as well.
Can you post a photo of the thing? Maybe next to a bar of soap lol?

Great photo - thanks! Wow that is big!
Give that alum block a big lick. I dare you.;)
What is it with this crowd? If it ain't lick the barber hone it's lick the alum block. Yuckkkkkkkk and it ain't gonna happen.
I must confess, the FIRST thing I did when I got an alum block out of it's box was lick it. I had to. I grew up with the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, the good ones, pre 60s. I had seen it used on Sylvester the cat, puckered him up and he had to try to eat Tweety through a straw. It's not quite that dramatic. Have a great weekend, Don V
Guess what? Alum is edible. What Is Alum in Cooking - Ask.com
I can think of any number of substances which can be safely ingested which I wouldn't put in my mouth.
I've pretty much gone with the theory that, pert near everything is edible, it's just that some things taste like crap, and some things can kill you. I've seen the survival shows, yeah, don't wanna go there.Quote:
