As Rand Tomcala points out, craft supply stores.  Do NOT buy from scientific 
supply houses -- the stuff they sell is purified eighteen ways from Sunday, and 
costs megabucks.

All the silica gel etc. from craft stores tends to be quite dusty -- that's why 
I always avoided it and went for commercial dessicant products.  One of my 
favorites is:

Great silica gel cartridges, completely re-usable, and come with built-in 
indicators to tell you when they need recharging.  (Nice people on the phone, 
too...)
