Most likely Super Stop and Shop doesn't sell it!. Agar is a gelatin substitute that is derived from red algae!. It can be found in some health food shops!. You can also try and check a local Asian supermarket, if you have one!.
If none of those are options to you, you could always order it online: http://store!.nexternal!.com/shared/StoreF!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Whole Foods has agar in the Asian section!. If there's an Asian foods store in your town, they should probably also have it!. I also saw it at Pangea, a vegan online retailer (www!.veganstore!.com)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The people above are right and you can find it at your local co-op, whole foods or trader joes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
