Has anyone seen ice cream CONES in the grocery store?!?

I love ice cream cones.聽 I love a good fagylalt from the street vendor, but do they sell just the waffle cones in the grocery store?!?!聽 Not the single-serving cones in the freezer, but a box of JUST the CONES.聽 In the States it's so much cheaper to buy a big bucket of ice cream and a box of cones, and have a fagyi whenever you want!聽 And when it gets to be 40* in the summer, I'd prefer to have my stock at home, than have to run out everyday to get a cone.聽 Not to mention you can do all kinds of crafty baking and gingerbread castle building with ice cream cones.
Anyone ever seen the cones for sale?

Mrs Fluffy says you can get them in Aldi sometimes.

Thanks!聽 I'll keep my eye on their ads then.聽 I was thrilled when I found applesauce there, too and just recently they had AMERICAN peanut butter (not from the UK)聽 Expensive as usual, but a lovely treat for us American expats

I'm a waffle cone man myself. One can make those at home using a Pizzelle iron. Where to get a Pizzelle iron in Hungary is another matter -- maybe mail order.

Does this look suitable? gofris眉tő
Hungarians call US-style waffles "gofri", I never found out why.

haha, just for the record, I found them at the incredible Azsia Bolt next to the Nagy Vasarcsarnok.聽 That store is a lifesaver. (especially when it's 30*C and you don't want to leave your flat for an ice cream!) Stock up on cones and 3L tubs, and you're SET for summer hibernation!
