Hydrochloric acid can be purchased for about $8 a gallon at Lowes or
Home Depot. I bought a gallon about 3 weeks ago at Home Depot myself.

When I want HCl for last-ditch laundry stain removal, I use The Works

If you're in the States, there are some chemical supply houses from
which you can purchase lab chemicals. Here are a few links.

from one of Steve's conversations................I recommended using
*Reagent grade iodine and iodide.* Reagent grade is the highest
laboratory grade and is not pharmaceutical grade. Reagent grade has to
be fairly pure for it's use in a lab. For example, many pharmaceutical
drugs are made using Reagent grade chemicals.

Don't know where we could get Hydrochloric acid here in the boonies,
maybe the high school? If that becomes a possibility, how much do I
need and does it come in different strengths?
