Where To Find Snowdrift Shortening Up North?

I live in the Philly area...anyone know if its possible to find Snowdrift brand shortening in stores here? I used to buy it down in South Carolina. It was the best.
I am not buying Sweetex, just checked and its $78 for a 50 lb box. Noooo not today. haha.
Couldn't find where to buy Snowdrift, but found out that this shortening is also sold known by Martha White (brand).
Good luck.
If you have a Gordon Food Service in your area, they can order the Sweetex.
Puzzlegut ordered hers from her normal store (which got it from GFS) at a better price than she could have by going directly to GFS.....
I got mine at GFS and was happy with what I paid.
Hmmm guess I'll just have to shop around.
We have a wholesale cake supply place here and that's who I checked for the Sweetex. I just don't need THAT much shortening yet. I mean I sell cakes, but only an average of one per weekend, and usually not real big ones.
If someone can post about what I should be paying (is $78 fair?) that would be very helpful...or you can PM me if you don't want to announce it.
Meanwhile..hmmm...Martha White.... I'll have to check. I don't think I've seen that either. Here it seems like you either get Crisco or generic. Of course I haven't checked some of the more expensive stores since I usually buy it at Walmart.
Here are some Sweetex threads that have different buying/using info:

I believe I paid $75.00 for 50# from my GFS, but there was no shipping/handling to pay and it was very white, very firm and very FRESH; unlike the somewhat greasy, soft, yellowish Sweetex sold at my local cake decorating store. I was happy with the price
