Default I want pork rinds, darn it!

I am soooo irritated. I cannot find a single place in this city that sells pork rinds!!!

A couple of years ago I found them at my local corner store, but unfortunately they do not carry them anymore.

I checked www.lowcarbgrocery.com and they are out of stock. I have called Frito-Lay (snack manufacturer) who used to sell it here but they only (apparently) sell their pork rinds in Western Canada.

I am so frustrated and just wanted to vent, so thanks!

I can find some at Safeway and Superstore here in Saskatchewan. Maybe you should ask in the store. Sometimes the stores do not have the pork rinds in the same isle as the potato chips.

I found some at Walmart. I am so sick of pork rinds! LOL Funny how we are at such different places with those little guys.

I tried Walmart and asked at a few of my grocery stores (Dominion, Sobeys, Pricechopper) and Bulk Barn.

In our grocery, they have microwave pork rinds next to the microwave popcorn. They are pretty good too!

I am a nitwit! I just realized...my uncle is a truck driver and he frequently goes to the states so I am going to ask him. He just got home today so he won't be going again for another week. I am sure he won't mind getting some for me. In the states, can you get these are local corner stores?

Bikini, if your trucker uncle goes South, he'll see pork rinds everywhere ... here, Pig is King! All of the local grocery chains (Winn-Dixie, Publix, Sweetbay, Albertsons) carry 'em (including BBQ and spicy hot varities); so do most of the corner mini-marts. As we say down here, with porkers we eat everything but the squeal! Happy hunting

I am in Wisconsin and you can find pork rinds at any mini-mart that sells alcohol(or liquior store) or any grocery store or walmart. I have noticed that in the grocery stores they arent always by the other chips.

I don't think we have "corner stores" so much as the corner Walgreens, CVS, RiteAide and such. Drug stores every dang where. We are a country of sick people! But there is a Walmart at almost every ding dang exit and he should find them there. Also Big Lots sells them in good sized bags for $1.50 here in Georgia, regular and BBQ. Kroger also sells them. They are also a VERY prominent item in the mexican communities, so he could try in their markets as well.

Hope you'll be crunching some soon!
