Where can I get Humidipaks at a good price?
I'm tired of paying $25 every 2-3 months or so and I want a better deal. Is there anywhere I can buy in bulk or something?

Maury's Music $13.55 plus shipping unless you buy more than $99 purchased, then it is free.
Strings and Beyond $13.49 free shipping for more than $35 purchased. Musician's Friend $13.95 I see them for less than $25.00 almost everywhere I look. Are you getting the pouches too for the $25? You only need the replacement packets, not new holder pouches each time. |

Stop using Humidpaks altogether and try these:
Music Nomad MN300 Humitar Acoustic Guitar Humidifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DKAQGTG..._vhLtCbN4TJT1E I switched to these and much prefer them.

I buy them by the 12 or 20 pack from Amazon, and when they dry out I soak them for a couple days in distilled water. I dry them out for a few hours before putting them in an airtight container until they need to be swapped out again, and I just rotate them as needed. They last a lot longer that way, with little to no degradation to the pack each time. Once I start noticing a change in the exterior or get nervous about a pack I'll throw it out. It really cuts down on the cost.

I also buy the Boveda packs. I believe they are the ones who make the D'Addario paks. I recharge them but I do not soak them. I've been doing this for years and have never had a leak.
This is how I do the re-charging: The large container is an air tight food container and the smaller container holds distilled water. As you can see, I spread the paks around the smaller container, put on the lid, then place it on a shelf in a closet. They are pricey but if you recharge them, they become far more affordable. Best, PJ

Actually Amazon has the complete kit including the bags at 49% off which is almost as cheap as the 3 pack replacement pack.

It borders on the ridiculous but I am using an abandoned cupcake carrier to recharge my humidipaks.
Amazon Dry packs go on top tray and middle tray. Water goes into the bottom tray. Lid goes on. 2-3 days later, paks are recharged. I'm rotating paks through 6 guitars and the system works well. When the paks start to feel a little weak, out they go, but I seem to be able to get 3-5 charges out of them at least.
