Gluten Free Pantry

While grocery shopping on Sunday I discovered that our Wal-Mart is now carrying 2 gluten free pantry mixes. They have a brownie mix and a muffin mix. I was estatic!! The brownies are not the chocolate truffle like they sell on their website they are just plain brownies. I am hopefully going to make them today!! I'm sure they are just as good as the others. They were only $2.98 for a 16oz. box. as to on the gluten free.com website you pay $4.35 for their 16oz bag of chocolate truffle brownie mix. SOOO much cheaper and way more convenient to pick them up at the store!! YEAHHH!!!

My Walmart had them for 2 for $3!!! I think they were on sale or clearance or something though. I can't imagine that's the normal price. I haven't tried the brownie mix yet, but the muffin mix is AWESOME!!! I made blueberry muffins and they turned out moist and delicious, best muffins I've ever had possibly. :) I'm so glad that other Walmarts are carrying the mixes too. Perhaps they'll get the idea that the stuff will sell if they carry it, especially if they carry it for a reasonable price.

Ok, so I sort of "super charged" my brownies hehe. I took two packages (4 cups) of reeses pb cups and diced them up and put them ontop of the warm brownies. Then smothered all of that in a can of frosting. OMG Soooooooo good!! My avatar is the picture of a brownie, the box, and a glass of milk (had to wash all that rich stuff down somehow).

I will for sure be buying these on a regular basis. Now I need to try the muffin mix that Ghulia is raving about ( I was afraid I wouldn't like it).

I just got back from Walmart and picked up three boxes of the muffin mix. I make them all the time, but I'd never seen them in that type box before. I saved myself a lot of money, too! I also saw the brownie mix, but I can't have soy. It's nice to see gluten-free at Walmart--and for cheap!

I have never seen their products packaged that way before either. However was just walking by this shelf and recognized the turquoise stripes on the corner of the box (total brand recognition)!! I had to stop and read the box like 10 times to make sure it really was gluten-free pantry and I wasn't dreaming!!

By the way...my belly is still full of brownie haha But it was SOOO good!!

I've never seen them packaged that way either... Usually they're in a bag with a similar design. Perhaps they're putting them in boxes to market them to mainstream grocery stores. The box may be just another barrier to keep us safe from the glutenous baking aisle that they put the mixes in. Though, I found my boxes in the pasta aisle of all places. Ha!

What aisle are you guys finding these in? I'll have to look next time I go to Walmart.

I found mine right where the other food was--the muffin mix was with the other muffins, and the brownie mix was next to the other brownies (down the baking aisle). Maybe they'll start carrying other stuff, too!

I found mine in the "wierd food" section hehe :lol: It was by some rice milk, almond milk, protein bars, diet foods etc.

Did you find the mixes in a wallmart superstore- or was it just one of the smaller wallmarts? I ask because I live closet to one of the smaller wallmarts, and im want some of these mixes. So I need to find out if I should take the longer drive to the superstore.

I went to my local super Wal-Mart last night, and no luck! They didn't carry any gluten free items. There is a much larger one north of me though, might have to give it a try, those prices you guys listed sure would make it worth the drive!! Just thought I'd let people know it doesn't seem to be "all" Wal-Marts, and this one just opened about 4 months ago, so it's brand new.

I found them at mine as well! They were mixed in with the cake and muffin mixes--they weren't together. I bought two boxes of each even though I have no plans to eat them. Wal-Mart is quick to drop things if they don't sell extremely fast. Like two weeks ago they had the Vans gluten-free waffles but not this week. :angry:

My A&P has started carrying the Gluten Free Pantry's brownies, muffins, and chocolate cake mix. I believe they even carry a yellow cake (old fashion cake mix?). They are also carrying the Mi-del cookies now. This was all a new development after they renovated the store. I commented to the manager about how happy I was to see glutenf free food as it saves me a trip to the local health food store (kind of a hint to make sure they know it is appreciated so they will keep on ordering). She told me that the A&P chains are trying to make it a "one stop shop" for their customers.

Our SuperWalmart didn't have them. :(

I checked the weird food aisle AND the baking aisle, and no luck.

No Luck for me either and I went to two different super Wal-Marts :( .

However, I did find the powdered cheese from Kraft to make the Tinkyada pasta taste like Krafts blue box mac&cheese :D . (Thanks to Jessica, I think, from a different thread).

Our Walmart carries the Vans and now Deboles, but not GFP. Actually, I should see our WalmartS. We have 6 Supercenters within an hours drive in all directions. :)

Are you sure they stopped carrying them or maybe just sold out. I have had experiences with the Redbridge beer at Walmart. I did not see it in the cooler and asked an employee to check in the back. The person checked and said they did not have any. I did not believe him. I got the manager and he returned with the case I wanted. Most of the average employees don't know gluten-free from space flight. If you think the waffles might have been dropped then see the store manager and voice your concern. Wal-Mart does have among the cheapest prices of any store I have visited. It has gotten me angry for a different reason. I don't think Wal-Mart is selling gluten-free items at a loss so therefore it means only one thing and that is the so-called speciality stores are "ripping us off".

I can't believe it! I live in the middle of nowhere in NE Iowa and my Walmart had brownies, muffins, and Vans waffles! Holy Buckets Batman! I am definitely writing a letter to express my gratitude.

We have a very small coop grocery in town but the prices are out of this world. Muffin mix was over $5. I'm not much of a baker so I never thought twice about not buying a mix for that price. I don't neccessarily think the specialty stores are ripping us off that much. There is absolutely no way to compete with Walmart's volume buying/selling capabilities. Even large specialty store chains like Whole Foods or Trader Joes can not come close to buying the volume of product that Walmart can. So Walmart gets the cheap price when they buy and simply pass the savings on to us minions. The turn around volume at Walmart is tremendous so I think they further lower prices by not marking them up as high as other chains, thus attracting even more business. It really is genius.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
