Chili Beans are usually near the kidney beans on the shelves. I think they are actually pinto beans in a sauce. They can be hard to find sometimes depending on where you live. I'd ask at the store's customer service desk just to be sure. They may carry it, but it might just be hard to spot on the shelves. Near me, there are usually 2 brands to choose from, but the store will have so many other bean varieties that it's hard to spot them sometimes.
