Well yes, but wax paper used to be used for "freezer" and "butcher" paper. It was the only thing available. These days I can't find real wax paper. Mom always had it in the house.

If you are going into Clayton or Alexander Bay they both have a Big M super market and they do sell freezer paper
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!

I've only ever seen freezer paper at Safeway here, and I've looked all over the place. They have wax paper and parchment paper, but no freezer paper. When I ask, they think I'm looking for either wax or parchment.

I've had trouble finding it too. Then the gals in my quilt group told me to try the local Home Hardware store. I guess there were a few quilters from that group asking about it so they ordered a case. They've had some for more than a year now, but we quilters are slowly using up his stash. Hopefully he'll order more!!

I haven't found it to be scarce at all, and I've lived in 3 provinces and one territory. It's always with the plastic wrap and foil wrap. Also our quilt shop carries it and you can buy however long a length you need if it's just something small you want.

We have starch too!!! I just haven't heard of the fragrant starches that I've seen talked about in the States.

I live in Toronto and I just pick it up at my local grocery store.

They call it Freezer paper here in Ontario as well.

I have seen these comments re starch as well. I am from Canada and have no problems finding a non-aersol starch. Best Press is the most common one that I see though. It may vary from province to province as I am sure it does state to state for some things.

thank you so much.
