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.

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.
