The High Price of Gluten-free Food

Pay double or triple - the study found this?? Really?? How astute?? It's amazing that this would take a study when you can go to the grocery and pick up a package of just about anything gluten-free. Surely the money could be better spent on other aspects of gluten-free.

Yes the prices of gluten-free food is crazy expensive. A pound of regular pasta costs about $1.20, but the gluten-free version cost $3.60 per HALF pound. Yes, that is $7.20 per pound. The companies making gluten-free are price gouging us for no reason.

This is not news for those of us who have to live gluten-free. $7 for a loaf of bread (mind you, it's smaller than a "regular" loaf of bread). I've long maintained that the exorbitant prices are criminal.

I have even caught my local Walmart pricing a gluten free noodle in the gluten-free section a whole $2.00 more than the same product placed in the "regular food" section!!! I talked to the manager and showed it to him, the noodles were removed from the "regular section." I have complained, it's gotten me nowhere.

How true. Greed gone to seed and no mercy.

Beth I feel your pain, also suffering from celiac disease and breaking the bank just to eat the foods I used to enjoy, but forced to pay the higher prices! When Shar first introduced their bread it was $4.99. Now is is $6.99!! It is an absolute shame how these companies are making us consumers pay a higher price for foods we may want to indulge in knowing we can NOT have the normal 99cent bag of bread! UDIs is just as bad! Then you take Barilla Pasta which every now an then goes on sale at your local supermarket, but does NOT include their gluten free Pasta! It's awful! I'm about to just start making my own breads!
