I want to make an AAA with some Rye, but I need some type of filtering aid that can go in the mash, and I don't have any rice hulls. Is there anything I can use from the grocery store?
Whole grain rice still does not have the actual husk (The protective jacket), but rather just the hull (the otter skin of the seed).

Wouldn't using regular rice, without a cereal mash to convert it, actually serve the same purpose as it's hulls? If it doesn't convert, then wouldn't it do nothing but serve as spaces in the grain?
It will be really sticky, as some of the surface starches will dissolve and form a layer of glue. It would be worse than if it had been partially converted.
Pillow stuffing
Rice hulls are used as pillow stuffing. The pillows are loosely stuffed and considered therapeutic as they retain the shape of the head. In China, in 2009, where these pillows have become popular, one pillow costs approximately 40 Reminbi (almost USD $6), and is considered a luxury item. The high price is testament to its trendiness, as one ton of rice hulls, even in the US, costs approximately $5
