Canned chili beans are usually found in the same section as the kidney beans. They are small, round red beans in a chili sauce. I'm surprised that you are having trouble finding them. Most grocery stores that I know of keep them in stock. Some stores only carry one brand which makes them harder to spot on full shelves.

We have chili beans in Texas. Brookshires has their own store brand that costs less than .50 per can. I've used all the cans I had in my pantry, but I know chili powder and tomato sauce are in the ingredients.
