Default Where can I find a reflector?
In nearly every thread that I have read about portrait (outdoor) photography, people are saying "Use a reflector."
Where can I get a reflector? Given that the nearest actual camera store to me is about an hour away, but I do have the standard kind of places, Walmart, target, lowes, home depot, etc. Is there something else that I can buy that can be used as a reflector until I get a real one?

Glue kitchen foil to a piece of cardboard (better if it's crinkled) et voila, a reflector!
