As some of you know, I was having a devil of a time finding a local source for freezer paper to line a mold. I went to Walmart and saw with my own two eyes that they didn't carry it. While there, I checked the crafts department to try to find the foam sheets that Paul told me about. They were out of all of them except the 12" ones (too small). My Walmart stinks!! :x
Since my local grocery stores don't carry freezer paper, I have no meat packing houses close to me, and have had no luck finding freezer paper anywhere else in town, I called a store that is about 12 miles from me. They carry it... Reynolds brand only. But, it's almost $4 for a 75 square foot box! Yikes!!! :shock:
After quite a bit of fussing, fuming, and deliberation, I got in the car and headed for the store. On the way, I passed a small store that is owned by a local Amish family. Remembering that they have lots of things that are difficult to find in the grocery stores, I turned around and went back.
When I went in, there was a very nice young lady behind the counter. I inquired about the freezer paper. She said, "Of course we carry freezer paper." She showed me where it was. It was also the 75 square feet box of Reynolds brand. I almost fell out when I saw how much it was. $1.49 per box!! I grabbed 8 boxes of it... 600 square feet of it!!! I figure I now have enough so that my survivors can put some in my post funeral yard sale!!
But seriously, if anyone else is having trouble finding freezer paper or is paying an outrageous price for it, check with a local Amish store (if you have one). You might just save yourself some $$$$.
