Try...
- Aquarium suppliers (it's an additive for marine aquariums)
- It's a food additive (E509).
- Swimming pool chemical suppliers (it's used for buffering pH)
- Building suppliers (it accelerates the setting of concrete)
- It's in self-heating cans.

I have also seen CaCl2 sold as Ball(r) Pickle Crisp(r) granules:

Also some kinds of ice-melting salt are pure CaCl2 (others are NaCl, or mixtures of NaCl and CaCl2) and that might be a good deal if you need a 50-pound bag of it.

At stores in the former U.S. you can find a product called DampRid(r) http://www.damprid.com/faq
It's dry calcium chloride. When you peel the lid off a container of it, it starts turning into hydrated calcium chloride, by absorbing water from the air. As it turns out, this is the intended function of DampRid(r) as a product: removing water, or dampness, from its surroundings.
Anyway, I linked to the Damp-Rid(r) FAQ, because one of those questions is , "What is the DampRid formula used in the moisture absorber products?", and the answer is it's calcium chloride.
