Champaign Extract...is It Just Me?...

Is it just me or is it impossible to find champaign extract at the store. I have only seen it on amazon.com. However, I would hate to pay shipping and handling for a $2 bottle of extract when I am not sure I will like it.
I have been looking for it ever since Sandra Lee used it on a wedding cake on Food Network. (I think it was in June.) She mentioned going to your local craft store. However, neither Micheals nor AC Moore had it last time I checked.
Are there any substitutes I can use?

What city do you live in? Maybe someone knows of a cake supply store near you. That's how I found out about a store about 20 miles from me. I make a pilgrimage to stock up. You probably need to find a specialty store like that to get all the different extracts.

We live in the Raleigh-Durham area of NC.
our local cake supply store carries it - do you have any of those near you? Also if you've ever heard of Meijer's grocery store - they've started stocking some Lorann flavors - you could ask them if they would order it.... right now I know they've got strawberry, raspberry, cherry, lemon, orange, lime, peppermint, spearamint, and maybe some others- I think they're mostly used for candies in some of those flavors but who knows what you could come up with!
