The colour catchers WERE available in most grocery stores last summer/early fall. They no longer carry them, nor does WalMart. I asked at the grocery store and they told me they can no longer get them. I have ordered a case (12boxes) on Amazon.com(the American site). They are a very reasonable price and delivery takes about 10-15 days. They work very well, as, I had that happen to me and I just put the quilt back in the washer with 3 colour catchers and the problem was solved.
