where can I buy dextrose? Should dextrose be taken each time I take my whey protein or just post workout with my whey? Any help would be much appreciated.

I buy my dextose at a Good Earth store near by me. Really cheap, only a couple bucks. It's in a big yellow bag and it's made by NOW. I'd stick with dextrose for the post work-out shake, but I guess it couldn't really hurt to take it with your other shakes to give it some sweetness, maybe just don't add as much.
You can order it online real cheap at www.bulkfoods.com Take it only with your PWO shake. There's no need to take it any other time.
NOW Foods makes pure dextrose. I hear some people get their dextrose from a brewers store. Dextrose is a simple sugar, so it should be taken ONLY post-work out. Anyother time it will cause an unwanted insulin spike. Depending on body weight 20-60g should be good. A pro BB at my gym, well over 200lbs, take 100g post work-out.

Don't know if this helps, but I read that your Post Workout Shake should contain:
0.2g of Protein per pound of bodyweight
+
0.4g of Simple Sugars (Dextrose) per pound of bodyweight. :bath:
Well on average my PWO shakes contain anywhere from 40-50g of protein and 70-80g of dextrose and I weigh 242lbs. Just play withthe numbers and see what works for you.
Thanks for your help guys. Actually i found an Earth/Herbal Store that has dextrose locally. Going to pick some up after work. :)
Personally I prefer to get mine from natural honey. Ask coldstone he uses it in like everything. My .02
