Dry ferts are just salts.. they're all the same thing. I ordered mine from GLA (green leaf aquariums). If you want containers, I recommend the nifty jars from GLA. They're fairly cheap. Just don't get the lids mixed up! I labeled the bottom of the jars with permanent marker just in case.
Do you plan on dry dosing, or mixing your own liquids? I gave up on weighing salts and pre-mixing liquids. Now I just use measuring spoons and dissolve the salts in a cup of tank water then pour it in.
Edit- just saw your post, Brookster. Yes, I should mention that my method is not as exact. "Close enough" is good for me since I'm target dosing based on nitrate test results. I still have not added KNO3 whatsoever- tap water has about 8 to 9 ppm nitrates.. which reminds me, you might want to order an extra dosing bottle so you can mix your KNO3 separately.
