Here in the south (Texas) you can find tamarind pulp in any grocery store. 
The Hispanics love it and make drinks with it (you can buy tamarind soda
pop) and bake with it.  You can also buy whole tamarind pods in the Mexican
grocery stores.  Italians use it a lot too, only they call it tamarindo.

 One used to be able to find Tamarind pulp
in the frozen food cases but I would guess that depends on where you live.
