No luck on the search. And yes, I actually work at Safeway. At first,
it was just other stores in other areas. I took my sauce with me and
planned to buy a bag while out of town, only to not find them there. I
just assumed they weren't in all stores. But then I couldn't find them
at my store either, and they confirmed that they were discontinued.
What a bummer. It was $3 for a bag of 8 of them. Easy and affordable.
