Vanilla beans

Why is it so darn hard to find vanilla beans in the store?! Arrrrrg, it's so frustrating when common ingredients can't be found anywhere!
I've never bought a vanilla bean in a chain supermarket, mom.
There are a couple of upscale stores in the area where I can get them. And/or I get a couple in specialty spice stores, like the Atlantic Spice Company in Truro, MA. They have a website, if you want to send for the beans. http://www.atlanticspice.com/

They're pretty darn pricey and don't sell well, so places like I usually do my bulk shopping (Wally World 
) usually don't have them. Same with saffron, it's just too pricey for the normal WW shoppers. I can go to the higher end grocery stores around here and find them both though. I'm intrigued. What are you cooking with vanilla bean?

I agree Cooksie-our Kroegers here carries both Vanilla beans and Saffron, but I don't know whos buying it! Last time I checked, the V beans were 10$ (for 2 pods) and the Saffron was 18$ for a tiny little packet!!
