Guess nobody is going to answer. I couldn't find them at Wal-Mart tonight, so probably not. Then again, I can't find lye either

I found cocoa butter in a small container( 4ounces) at the health food store. It was quite pricey though. Can't help you with the citric acid. The only place locally I have found lye is at one supermarket in with the drain cleaners.

Didn't look at a health food store... will check that, Thanks.
As for the lye... checked 4 stores including 3 brand new Wal-Marts and none had anything but every possible formula of draino available

No Kroger's anywhere near, but a Lowe's about a half hour/45 mins away. Maybe I'll try there tomorrow!
So here I sit with not quite all the ingredients for anything

Do you have a TruValue Hardware store? They have lye. Cocoa butter in sticks at Walgreens.

Hobby Lobby sells citric acid for $10.00 and it is a smallish container.

Thanks for all the tips! Finally found lye in the last grocery store in the phonebook. Nope, Lowes didn't have it I haven't checked into the other two items yet, but after this, I've learned to call everywhere first! LOL
