I've bought them at Target, in the bread aisle.  I think you can also go to Arnold's website and do a location search for stores in your area that carry them.

I like Jo's idea of the tuna melt - that way you're only using 1/2. I don't think they'll be something you'll get 'addicted' to, but it is nice having something out there for a burger or sandwich that isn't thick, meaty bread that's going to kill you with carbs or swell in your pouch. And they last forever in the fridge - someone said they also freeze well, so if you're afraid they're something you'll want a lot of stick them in the freezer and just pull one out at a time - or a 1/2 - maybe that'll help. I keep them at work if I really want a 'sandwich' but I rarely use them at home unless we're doing burgers.

that is a very good idea i could freeze them.
Poor jason is desperate for bread and i usually dont have any
it is a real trigger for me. I have tried these out and yes the carb monster wants them.
But you are right if they are not easily accessible then that is half the battle

I've noticed that when Len & I go out to dinner he snarfs the bread down big time - he's always been a huge bread eater. Once in a great while I'll get the urge but not too often and just the thoughts of it swelling and spoiling my meal are enough to keep me from it - I don't do well with dense foods so no fries or stuff like that, either. In that way I'm lucky.

Now crunchy carbs??? Oh god don't get me started!!

Don't laugh, most of my kitchen is in the freezer, but that doesn't stop me from defrosting something. 

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

I like taking 1/2 and putting a little sauce and mozzarella on it like a pizza. You can also do any toppings you like.

I likes me crustless pizza just fine, (no carb). I just don't want to make something tasty enough to make me want to keep eating more and I don't want to feel hungry afterwards.

BJ's sells them and Wegmans...I have tried the Pepperidge Farm ones....6 grams of protein compared to the Arnolds at 4 grams. Plus, the pepperidge farm are softer. They are the best. I had egg salad on half of one yesterday...YUMMY!!
