Where to buy Almonds?

Hey, I am looking for almonds, preferably RAW, and bulk.
Where can I buy and for not too expensive.
I looked online and US sources have some cheap, but VERY expensive shipping.
Could anyone possibly tell me a Canadian source or low shipping US source?

    Karma co-op has impeccably fresh raw, organic california almonds and unpasturized sicilian ones. They also carry great smoked ones smoked by salmon river smoke hpuse. Yummy!

        Rami's Middle Eastern market at 1996 Lawrence Ave E. Excellent almonds (many varieties) and other nuts in their "wall of nuts". If you go, you'll know what it means...

          If you're going raw, you should get them organic. I know its a bit more but they taste so much better. The cheapeast is Sweet Potato in the Junction, they are $7.99 a pound. Upaya naturals sells the non-pasteurized version:

              Costco's very hard to beat for price/quality/freshness.

                They're available all over the place in bulk ... is there a particular price point you're looking for? Or, when you say RAW, do you mean non pasteurized? - in which case you won't likely find them from a US supplier ...

                  Hmm, well, I don't mind pasteurized, and what stores would have them?
                  Im looking for a range of around 4-5$ per pound.

                      As mentioned, they are available everywhere for the price point you are willing to spend. (well maybe not at McEwans)

                      The Indian grocery stores, and various bulk stores carry them in raw form, and you may even find other grocery stores which have a "bulk" section.
