Sorbitol is a sweetener used by people with diabetes.

It's also known as "sugarfree sugar", it can be bought at almost any supermarket. Or at the pharmacy. Please thumb up, so other can get the message!

You can get KNO3 from several places:

Most Pharmacies sell it as 'Saltpeter', at around $3 for 8oz

Many hardware stores sell it as Stump Remover (Spectracide from Lowe's, etc) for about $6/lb

Some Greenhouses sell it in 50lb bags (Hydroponics section)

You can buy it off of Ebay for ~$2-$6lb

-OR- you could buy it by the ton as fertilizer, 13-0-46 KPN (and similar KPN)
