Excellent question! Bicarbonate is available for cheap, in almost all supermarkets.
The only problem is that it is often well hidden on the shelves!
Given its price and its effectiveness, it is sure that supermarkets are in no hurry to sell it. So the easiest way is to ask where it is.
Note that on average, 1 box of 800 g of baking soda costs around €2.95. I also advise you to read our comparison of baking soda prices by supermarket.
And if you do your shopping on the Internet, know that you can also find baking soda in 2.5 kg bags and at reasonable prices.
