You can buy premixed mea(the a stands for agar)

Or buy malt extract POWDER and agar separately and make your own mix(I recommend this)

I'll second this recommendation. With the premixed powders you are stuck with that malt/agar ratio. Sure, you can tweak the powder/water ratio, but you can't adjust to a slightly firmer or softer agar without also changing the amount of nutrients.

I'm guessing buying them separately is cost effective because agar and LME are both very cheap. It only takes a minute to mix them. And if you don't want to or don't have time to order them, you can get them at Asian food stores and brew stores.

Don't buy too much LME and keep it in a mason jar or it will turn as hard as a rock.

I keep most of mine in a large, well sealed, jar while keeping what I use from day to day in a little jar that gets refilled from the large jar as needed.
The stuff sucks water out of the air and turns sticky.

Light malt extract from a brew supply shop and telephone brand agar together are much cheaper than premixed microbiological grade MEA. But its the same thing, for our purposes.
