Did you finally find the walnuts? In the supermarket I frequent, there
are nuts in 4 different areas! The roasted, salted nuts etc. are in the
same place as the chips and pretzels etc. There are some packaged nuts of
a particular brand (mainly raw, plus dry roasted almonds) in the same
area as health foods. There are bulk nuts (sold by weight), and bags of
peanuts in the shell, and some other large bags of nuts in the fresh
produce section. Then there's the largest area of nuts - raw ones,
blanched ones, slivered almonds, those chopped walnuts! etc. - both bags,
and some small snack packs. These are all in the same area as the dried
fruit. Maybe your chopped walnuts are near the dried fruit, too :-)
