I picked it up at Wegman's (a nice supermarket chain up here) once,
of all days, I needed it the day before Thanksgiving. Not a day you
want to be standing around looking for something! The store was
mobbed. I wanted it to top Jill's butternut squash soup that I was
bringing to my brother's the next day.

I finally cornered an employee who told me what case to look in.
The case that has all the special butters (like Kerrygold). Still
took me a while to find it.

This product is practically incognito. It doesn't jump out at you.
Still, I'd be shocked if my local supermarket carries it. Guess
I'll have to ask.
