It's a smaller home depot, I forget what store the original building was built for. They don't have a lot of things, but it's really convenient. They do have the external silicone caulk in white, just not the translucent. BTW, I did a search on HD and Lowes site for it and they didn't appear to have it online either.
I've done all the bathrooms and when I repainted the house I redid all the windows, trim, etc with it. My problem isn't with the chunkiness but sometimes I smooth it a bit wide and have to clean it up. Usually only happens when I'm at the end. As for price, I had no problems spending the extra cash on it now to prevent having to redo in a few years. I also replaced any outside trim that may rot or was rotted with the nylon?? trim. That stuff is great.
