I have found it at different larger "regular" grocery stores. You should also be able to get it at health food stores. Sometimes it is sold as "almond meal". You can even make it yourself. Grind almonds in a processor or coffee grinder until fine. Be careful though, if you grind it too long, you will have almond butter instead. Stop grinding when the texture starts turning moist.
Almond flour/meal usually costs about $ 5-6 per pound or so. There are also plenty on-line sources to order it.

Good luck!

Never give up! Never surrender!

Yeah I think I'm going to have to do it myself because that is SOOO expensive. There was a thread where someone knew where to get something that worked better than a coffee grinder. I would LOVE to have some fried chicken! Do they actually sell almond butter? It's probably cheaper to make that yourself too huh?

If you want to have some great chicken that tastes like fried chicken take a couple of chicken breast and put them in a glass baking dish. Take a few handfuls of Pork rinds and throw them in a zip lock bag. Take the can of green beans you will be having for dinner out of the cupboard and smash the pork rinds until they are kind of fine. Put the pork rinds in a bowl and add pepper, garlic salt or any other seasonings you want. Add a couple tablespoons of melted butter. Then just dump over the two chicken breasts. Bake until chicken is cooked through. The flavor is great!

ordering online always involves high shipping and handling charges. chicken dipped in egg or low carb milk, then rolled in crushed pork rinds is great! And its a whole bunch cheaper.

I get almond meal and hazelnut meal at Trader Joe's - the almond is $2.39 a pound, the hazelnut $2.69 - pretty cheap! I used to grind it myself but this is less effort and a better end result, for about the same price as I was buying the whole raw nuts, if not less.

I like to mix crushed pork rinds, flax meal, almond or hazelnut meal, and gluten flour or wheat protein isolate, and use that mix to bread chicken, veggies, hot wings, pork chops, shrimp - whatever I used to do with bread crumbs or flour. TASTY STUFF! Good for you too....
