In the long run the mix is cheaper but for me I just got one of the 50 lbs blcks at tractor supply for $6.

Found this online somewhere...

The main bulk ingredient in Deer Cane is Sodium Carbonate (AKA: Soda Ash, or Washing Soda), which can be bought an most grocery stores as Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (100% Sodium Carbonate) for about $3 per 3 lb 7 oz  box, making it way cheaper, and the deer like it just the same. What a lot of folks don't know, is that it can be gotten cheaper than this, at even a fraction of the cost. By baking Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) at 400 degrees for approximately 1.5 hrs, you will release Carbon Dioxide, turning your regular household baking soda, into pure, high grade sodium carbonate.
