Spectra Image Film
Polaroid Electric Zip Instant Film Camera?
I recently bought this camera from a thrift store.( Polaroid Electric Zip). It uses the 87 and 88 films (the square ones) but after researching a bit found that those are discontinued. I found this website that sells some square films and i wondered if i could use those with this camera.

Will these work, and/or is there any other place i cant get a replacement.
The Polaroid Electric Zip camera uses the old square format peel-apart film, which hasn’t been made in some time.
The links you posted are for Spectra film, which will only work in a Spectra camera.
You might be able to score some old type 87 or 88 film on ebay, but it will cost you.
If you want an old Polaroid camera that you will still be able to buy film for, look for a packfilm camera that will use the 3-1/4×4-1/4 packfilms.
Fuji film makes replacement film that will work in these cameras. Look for FP-100B (bw) or FP-100C (color).
From the Land List, these cameras can use the Fuji Packfilms:

You are more likely to find the cheaper plastic body cameras at the thrift stores. If you do find the older, nicer folding pack cameras, be aware that a little mod might be necessary to convert the camera from a special battery to use a small 2-AAA battery pack, or you can just clip the connectors off and tape the bare ends of the wire to the corresponding end of a 3v lithium battery.
