Try the freezer section of a large Asian grocery
This is BR, we don't have any of those.

if I were closer to BR I'd happily give you some.
Awww...thanks. Wish you lived closer.

Lemongrass will give you a similar flavor, but not exactly the same...its key essential oil is citral, whereas kaffir lime's big flavor component is citronellal
Would lime zest work?

If you can get it in Lafayette (and you can), surely you can get it at an Asian grocery in Baton Rouge.

"Regular" limes (which are most often Persian limes) aren't nearly aromatic enough. Key lime zest is a bit closer. Again, lemongrass is much closer to the pop of kaffir lime leaves. You could also try a local nursery--citrus trees cost around $16, and you could keep it in a big pot (though you'll need to bring it inside during extreme cold).
