You have answered your own question, you need a supply of rock salt, its normally mixed with grit.

You could use table salt but you would be better using a shovel to clear the drive as soon after a fall of snow as possible.

Quite simply, 'buy it'. I stocked up about 2 months ago from my local Wickes and it worked wonders, no snow or ice where I'd put it compared to thick ice where i hadn't. Ebay has plenty too.

A simple google does the job quite easily

buy rock salt - Google Search
