Where would you buy incense in a store?
I’ve been enjoying incense lately. I cleaned out an apartment where the tenant left behind a hundred sticks and made them my own.
Today I thought about replenishing the supply, and realized I don’t know a store that sells incense. Or maybe it’s outside my field of attention and I overlook it.
If you wanted to buy incense at a store, walk in and buy it, not order it online or on the phone, where would you go?

You can get it at Whole Foods, near the candles. Or Cost Plust Imports or Pier One Imports.
I have no idea where you live, but is there a hippie store or an old record store near you?
I’d probably go to a cool place that sells other interesting supplies etc. Import shops, “new age” shops of all sorts, Buddhist / Indian / Tibetan / etc shops, Catholic supply shops (the one at the cathedral in Assisi, Italy, has some killer incense), etc. It would depend on where I was.
I think Pier 1 Imports stores have incense. Also Sprouts. Do you have any food co-ops, farmers markets, crystal/candle stores or smoke shops nearby? Any kind of store that caters to new age types, or hippie types will usually have incense, as will Chinese markets and housewares shops.
You can not get it here.
As a psychoactive drug, it is banned by our Ministry of Magic Mushrooms.
I live in Eugene so nearly every mom and pop convenience store sells it along with bongs. And there are multiple places within a few blocks that have 20+ choices of incense. I have stuck with Nag Champa for the last 20 years.
But the phone is probably your best bet here. Call a hippy food place and they can probably tell you where they get theirs.
And Nag Champa is the standard for a reason. I love it.
New Age stores (as mentioned), some health food stores, and maybe local Yoga studios (to add to the list).
I think even Walmart has it.
Most convenient stores run by eastern folks will have them for individual sale.
If the gas station sells glass “pipes,” they probably sell incense….
Near the candles.
I buy my incense from Amazon. I like pinon pine and that’s hard to find in stores.
Why not just run down to your local ‘Incenses R Us’ ??
( I mean…..come on…..)
