    Freezer Paper-hard to find in Canada?

    It's not that I'm going waaaaaay out of my way to look for freezer paper, but where I live, it is no where to be found! When I'm out & about, I check for it in stores where I think I might find it. Gee whiz, is it really that hard to find? I thought I might give it a whirl since, (obviously because I don't currently own any!), I've never tried it.
    I will be heading over to the USA next Thursday, so I will definitely scope out some stores for it, so if anyone has the "inside scoop" exactly where, do let me know!

    It is sold in the grocery stores, right near the aluminum foil and the plastic wrap! Should be easy to find... and very cheap. Did you check your grocery store?

    It's hard to find here in Australia too, $18 a box from my LQS ouch I was hoping Costco would carry it, but unfortunately not.
    The biggest risk is the one not taken

    Have you checked Costco online? They carry things online that aren't in the stores.

    Costco does carry it, but it is in the isle where they carry plastic forks, etc. They only have a small roll. I bought a huge roll at a Sam's club. It was in the isle where they have the industrial coffee pots and pans. It was so big and hefty that I have a hard time getting it to a table.

    hopetoquilt.....yes, that is where I check. I'm sure I'll be more successful when we visit the US next week. There's one grocery store chain in my city that I don't shop at but next time I'm near it, I'll stop in. Hah, dollars to donuts, that's where I'll find it!

    Go to your local butcher shop or some sort of meat shop that prepares meat for the freezer - they usually wrap the meat in white freezer paper. HTH

    i was looking for it in Walmart and asked a clerk for help - it was on the very bottom shelf. guess it's not popular enough to be eye level

    Its always either way on the top or bottom shelves here too.
    Usually near the aluminum foil and ziplock bags.
