Hydrochloric acid is used for pH adjusting swimming pools.
Phosphoric acid is in Coca Cola.

Note that citric, folic, and acetic are not mineral acids. I haven't seen the most obvious answer - your stomach (HCl). HCl is also used as concrete prep/cleaner. Nitric is not very common in the household. Phosphoric acid can also be found in some high strength cleaners.

Sulfuric, hydrochloric, and muratic acids are used in pools; citric acid is in fruits and some cleaners; vinegar is diluted acetic acid; folic acid in soft drinks( look at some food labels; you'll find plenty)

In Kitchen - Lime, Lemon, any citrous fruit
Put two electrodes into salt water, the positive electrode would give you chlorine gas, put this gas into water = hydrochloride acid

You can buy Muriatic Acid (30% aqueous HCl) from TSC or other hardware stores.
