Does anyone know where around here I can buy a single box of matzah? (I know, it's kinda last-minute.)

In past years I've been able to find it at my usual grocery store, the Star Market at Porter Square, but when I went this year they only had huge 5-pound multi-box packages that are too big for me to carry home (and I definitely won't eat that much matzah in a week!) or the kind of matzah that isn't kosher for Passover. I thought for sure the Butcherie in Brookline would have it, but they were out of everything except the $22/box stuff. Is there anywhere I can still buy a plain single box, or am I out of luck?

I'm going to a friend's Seder, and they'll have matzah for the Seder, so I don't need it for tonight -- it would just be nice to have matzah for the week, if I can still get some. If it's too late to get matzah for this year, I'd still appreciate knowing likely places for future reference. Thanks!

ETA: I have found matzah! Thanks to everyone who commented.

Following.

I suppose it's possible that they have it at bfresh, but I won't shop there until the strike is over. I do know they don't have it at Pemberton's or Dave's. Trader Joe's Fresh Pond has Matzoh crackers, but not whole matzoh.

Buying it from Stop&Shop is dis-recommended per the rabbi quoted in this article:
Rabbi Jon-Jay Tilsen of Beth El-Keser Israel said in an email, “Any food purchased by crossing a picket line or from scab workers is not kosher for Passover.” He said it is “a matter of well-established Jewish law.”

Wow! That's awesome. Thank you Rabbi!

Note that although bfresh employees are legally prohibited from striking, money spent there goes to S&S management. Ditto for Hannaford deliveries.

Wow, TJ's had plenty when I was there a couple of days ago! I guess they ran out. Whole Foods still had some as of late last night. (But yeah, watch out of the 'matzo-style' non-matzah. The regular matzah was on the endcap.)

The Whole Foods in Fresh Pond had single boxes as of earlier this week.

Market Basket had matzah earlier this week, both single boxes and five-packs. I did not check whether the singles were kosher for Passover.

Friends have been saying Wegman's has a wide selection of Kosher for Passover products, and when I checked their offerings for delivery on Instacart, they offer a 1 pound box of matzah.

The Stop & Shop strike appears to be ending tomorrow. I bet they will have a lot of unsold Passover food (and Easter candy) that they need to sell quickly.
