HarvesTime Foods (2632 W Lawrence) consistently has some store-packaged boxes in the cooler shelves opposite the end of produce and beginning of deli.

Marianos and Whole Foods have them on their olive bars. It's not an issue of finding them at all, just finding them fairly priced. They were something like $3.99/lb at Caputos and the olive bar pricing is 2-3X as much. Fine for a snack portion but if I'm buying 3lbs or so I feel like I'm getting ripped off.
