try smaller local garden centers, rather than big chains. Most of them will have normal perlite (I think a common brand is Hoffman's). The smaller mom & pop nurseries are also more willing to order it for you. Plus you support small local businesses.
You can substitute it with other inert aggregates like pumice or lava rock (these might be even harder to find though).
Also, I agree with Dragoness, check the smaller stores and dedicated garden centers. They often have huge bags of plain perlite that will last you forever.
Look again. The Home Depot in the LA area sell perlite in 2 cu foot bags. Look for pale green bags They're from AZ so the SF Bay area store should carry them too.. If you don't see it, ask somebody.
