FWIW, Walmart usually has individual Corelle pieces on the shelf, so
does the local hardware store (not a big chain, the kind of place where
there's usually a cat sleeping on the scale).

Your best bet if you like Corelle though is to find somebody locally who
empties sold houses and buys up estates. There's often Corelle in those
and it doesn't go for much at auction--offer half retail and he'll
likely take it.
