    I went to one Walmart recently and could not find any. Went to another and could not find it either - until I opened my eyes. It seems they changed the packaging on the boxes. They used to be mostly dark green, now they are light green. When you know what to look for it makes it much easier to find.

    I live in Missouri and found it at Target. Paid $2.99 for a 4.5 lb box just the other day. I voted Southwest and coast as there seems not to be a Midwest selection.

    I see it at Stop & Shop (food store), Target, WalMart . . . but I did notice that they changed the design of the carton this year from last - totally different art now, so maybe that threw some folks off . . . ?

    Walmart carries 20 muleteam in south Arkansas. They ususally have just a small section in the laundry section. You can try the internet, too.

    I'm in Baltimore (Mid-Atlantic) area and could find the 20 mule team at a few local hardware stores and "SuperFresh" ( Old A&P).

    But I was able to buy it very cheaply at my local Home Dept. It was less than $3 a box.

    But now, Home Depot has stopped carrying it.

    The only place I have been able to find it is at Wal-Mart.

    I think it was $4.89 a box. a Lot more than it was from Home Depot.

    And I can only find a couple of boxes at a time.

    I went around to 4 different WalMarts to get 5 boxes of the stuff.
