hi Russ, I buy mine from wing yip the Chinese supermarket chain comes in a 5kg tub for less than a fiva, oddly enough there is no vat on sodium bicarb I don't know why perhaps somebody here knows why

There's no vat on food and drink intended for human consumption unless it's a confectionary or sold with an added service such as in restaurants. I would guess that sodium bicarbonate is zero rated because it's an ingredient in a basic food such as bread.
