Where to buy Silica Gel ?

Silica Gel comes packed in little bags in boxes of shoes , electrical devices and others, I always throw this to the trash but now I really need this. It is used to absorb humidity. I would like to know if someone knows where to buy this stuff.

I saw this old post it doesn't talk about where to buy it:

HomeCenter sell bags of gel that absorb humidity... look for the plastic coated bag, not the little paper sachets like in the above picture.
