depends on what quantities you buy them in :)
I bought red devil lye in an 510g package at the grocery store. I have
located a source of 50lbs bags of the stuff at a chemical supply for
when I start producing wholesale.
my experience is that although the stuff is really hydrophilic (loves
water) all you have to do to keep it dry in my climate (upstate NY, USA)
is keep the lid on tight as much of the time as possible (don't leave it
off once you are done measuring)
methanol comes in 355ml (12oz) containers, 5 gallon buckets, 55 gallon
drums, again, really hydrophilic, again just keep the lid on all the
time when you are not actively pouring some out.
haven't bought any sulphuric acid, couldn't answer that one. everyone
keeps telling me though that I don't need it :)
I don't think that you have to worry about using the whole package and
you are likely to have to make a really large quantity in order to make
all the amounts line up and get your ratios right.

After reading many posts on making my own bio-diesel I came to the conclusion
it might be best to use the full package of lye rather than opening a package
and then trying to seal it from moisture. What quantities do lye, Sulpheric
Acid, and Methanol come in?
Thanks, roger
