Happy Happy Shopping Time

[Smunkeemom]

I have found 4 different grocery stores in my area now that carry gluten free food, no more shopping at the health food store for us!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gluten free waffles for cheaper than the gluten-full counterparts, gluten free cake mixes, even gluten free bread at under $4 a loaf. I am so excited, it seems that gluten free really is going mainstream, at least here anyway.

I found out from one of the managers at one of the stores that if you can get them a name brand and upc that most of the time stores will stock whatever you want. I thought that this was wonderful information that I should pass along, we all know that shopping gluten free can be a hassle, think how much easier it would be if we could all get our favorite gluten free food at the regular grocery store

I know that the diet is expensive, I was just thinking since the mark-up doesn't seem to be so high, that maybe some of you could scout out your own local stores and ask for some gluten free stuff, believe me it's worth the time.

Hi, where do you live? At my local A&P and ShopRite, there are a lot of Gluten Free items in stock on a regualr basis. It's really great!

I just discovered that Stop & Shop has a good variety of gluten-free items in their health food section.

Isn't it exciting to find gluten-free food in the grocery store!!!

I always have to just "look" at the gluten-free section even if I'm not buying anything. You never know they might be carrying something new.

I'm pretty lucky in that alot of stores around me carry gluten-free foods plus theres one store that is pretty much ALL gluten-free....they have just about everything.

Now if I could just get the grocery store where I work to carry something...anything gluten-free...that would be GREAT. I work for a major grocery chain and they look at me like I have 4 heads when I ask about getting some gluten-free foods.

You should print out a copy of the following article and bring it into the store you work at:

Maybe that will change their minds.....
