Most Wal-Marts carry this during hunting seasons. As the seasons vary from area to area, I don't know if they would have it in stock now. In the future, can you order it on line?

It's in the grocery store where the aluminum foil, wax paper etc.. It's in a long box just like wax paper (maybe a longer box) but you should find it there.

I personally think most freezer paper is purchased by quilters as opposed to people wanting to use it for wrapping food to be frozen.........glad to know we are keeping a collateral business in the black.......

I was told it was in the canning area of the stores. My LQS gave me the end of the box piece she had:) Such a sweetie.

Walmart has a large roll of freeze paper and it is very cheep.

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

Maybe it's called "butcher paper" in some areas? If you can't find it in your local grocery stores, maybe ask your butcher if you can purchase some from him.

If you have a "great Canadian wholesale store" that is where I buy it. I think it is Reynolds and is in a blue box.

At my monthly meeting at our LQS we are doing an applique quilt. Freezer paper was discussed and our teacher said she had heard that they are going to stop making freezer paper. Of course I went out and bought six boxes. Now I don't use it because I use back basting as my method of applique. If someone needs some, email me.

For the Canadians ... here's links to Home Hardware.

Your local HH can order it in for you, and have it in the store within a few days. While I haven't ordered these products, there's never been a minimum order requirement and they have gladly ordered just one, if it's not a standard item on their shelves.

Have you checked the grocery stores, that's where I buy mine or a craft store.

I get mine in grocery stores, too. Bed Bath and Beyond may have it - I don't know.

Hey folks I just found a place in Wisconsin that has different widths of freezer paper that they will ship ...

hope that this helps. for those overseas or in a different country contact them via this web site and ask them if they ship to you overseas or in a different country. (Also get your friends (quilting friends) together to buy in bulk..
hugs

I never thought of ULine ... we have it here in Canada and here's the link ....

However, most of us probably will not want to get 1100 feet of it!!

For those interested, the Ontario depot is in Mississauga just off 401+407+Mississauga Road and you can pick up at the warehouse. I've dealt with them and very interested in even the smallest of orders. Bonus ... if something is not what you want, you can return it within 30 days, no questions, and no return fees.

I found mine at Wal-Mart. Right next to the foil and wax paper.

We have lots of starch in Canada but where I live it's only in aersol cans in grocery stores & WalMart. We also have lots of freezer paper in grocery stores, Canadian Tire etc. so I don't know what xsquilter is talking about. She lives in a large urban centre & I live in a community of only 45,000 people & we have lots of both.
Actually our local fabric store just got in a shipment of Mary Ellen's Best Press (non aerosol) so I am quite anxious to try it. It sells here for $23.00 for a 16 oz. bottle. I bought it at their 1/2 price sale & that's the only way I would buy it. I may even try & dilute it a little to see if that will make the cost more economical. With the cost of fabric etc. this quilting hobby that I love is getting to be very costly. Oh well, what do they say for some things "priceless".

Joann fabric has freezer paper on line for 8.99 for 30 sheets 8 1/2 x 11. I prefer to buy it in sheets what you find at the grocery store is on a roll and doesn't work as well for quilting. It's great if you do applique.

This is the recipe for Mary Ellens Best Press (I have not tried it read some good reviews )
2 cups distilled water
2 Oz's. vodka
2 drops of essential lavender oil.

If you try it
Let me know what you think.

Most grocery stores, walmart, kmart, target.

It always seems to be on the bottom shelf and it is very inexpensive!

I buy the large role of Freezer Paper at Wall-mart, it is Reynolds Freezer Paper.

Since the topic is freezer paper, I'll pass on my favorite way to use it. find someone with a bandsaw. mark off the
whole roll (rolled, right out of the box) in increments of 3",4",5", 6". (I think the roll is 18" !). slice through the
whole roll at these points. Or, whatever width that is the most usable to you. now, you have usable sizes for applique' without using the whole width for some leaves, etc. you can leave these in the box so you can use the cutter provided.

Years ago I bought a roll of freezer paper at Costco -- I will probably be using it until I quilt sewing. It is still huge and heavy. I can get the smaller boxes at the grocery stores around here.

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.

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

LOL, they stop making freezer paper when we quit eating meat!

Somewhere on this board is a recipe for making starch from scratch. That's what my mom did when I was a kid. Basically just corn starch and water.

You are paying 30 cents for a copy paper size of freezer paper?????????????

As above, there's lots of sources for buying freezer paper .............. maybe you don't but many of us still eat meat!

Is this response aimed at me????????? Surely, you misunderstood my post.

OOPS, I went back and read my post-----------------did not proof read SHOULD BE

LOL, they WILL stop making freezer paper when we quit eating meat!

I'll quit eating meat the day I die!

Smile! Sounds like a cocktail that I'd drink! Maybe it's just that the ironing is easier with a little booze? JK

Re: recipe for Mary Ellen's Best Press. sorry, the link didn't come up

Home Hardware carries the Reynolds Freezer Paper. They can order it for you.

I bought mine at Costco, but that was probably 10 years ago. I bought a huge roll that may well last my lifetime.

Has anyone offered to ship you some. The shipping might cost a bit, but I think the paper itself is reasonable,

Thank you all for the info & many thanks to those who offered to send me some! What a great bunch here!
I succeeded in purchasing some yesterday at Tops in the US.
*callen*....indeed it is odd that I had so much difficulty finding the freezer paper when I do live in a large urban area. But like I said, I wasn't driving all around my city to look for it. I'm sure someone has it but I only checked within my area. I didn't want to waste time driving when it could be spent flinging fabric!
Now, spray starch, I have no trouble finding! Thank goodness because I've been using it while ironing long before I started quilting!
Maureen

Sent you a PM

yes, it can be tricky to find in my town too. I had to find it in a Sobeys in Stouffville when I was driving thru one day. Not too close but they had it. The Sobeys at my corner did not have it. There were no other stores and yes I asked everywhere. It is called Freezer paper.
When I took an applique class they sold me some at about $8 for a yard. I got a whole box for about $12, talk about taking advantage of the situation.

I live in Ottawa and I cannot locate it at the Canadian Tire. Can you provide me specific address of where the store(s) is so that I can pick up some freezer paper? Much appreciated.
