Safeway

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but in the one Safeway in Regina they have a fridge freezer by the bread section that has a bunch of Kinnikinnick products.

What I love is that a couple of times I have been lucky enough to catch it when it was on their Club card special. It actually ended up being cheaper than buying right from the company.

Just thought I'd give everyone's a heads up in case they didn't already know select Safeway locations do sell specific gluten-free. Kinnikinnick was definitely the last thing I expected to find there!

Safeway gluten-free stuff isn't cheap here and rarely is it on sale. But I'm used to Save-On Foods so I'm biased. I recently moved back down to southern Alberta and so no more Save-On for me! I guess I'll have to suck it up and go to Sobeys and Safeway again.

It's a good thing they have sales where you are.

here in BC, safeway also carries gluten free cereals, bob's red mill stuff, gluten-free frozen waffles and mi-del cookies. Times are changing!

Yeah they have a lot of the gluten-free Bob's red mill flours, also. An entire section of them. I just wish that ALL locations had the same kinds of foods! Sucks when you have to run around the city to the different Safeway stores just to find something that you're looking for.

I've never checked for waffles...which company of them?

I think that they are Nature Valley (???) At my safeway, the waffles are in the regular freezer section, not in the bakery section with the kinniwick (sp?) stuff. They are in a "special food" section not with glutenous waffles.

I find that Thrifty Foods here on Vancouver Island to be quite reasonabley priced for gluten-free products. I did some comparison shopping at my nearby Save-On-Foods and found them to be a bit pricier. I'm just happy to learn that quite a few of our normal products are actually gluten-free and it's not always necessary to purchase more expensive ones.

Some Sobey stores are getting really good. My sister asked at the one near her and they gave her a list of all the gluten free items in the store. I also noticed they are carrying a new company out of PEI that makes gluten free flours.

Thrifty Foods are way less expensive than our local health food store. The health food store is a good start for someone starting out on this journey like myself.

I get a few things at Safeway - check out their own brands for a gluten free list online - surprisingly there are quite a few products. As for Kinnikinick stuff, definitely cheaper than our health food store, and it goes on sale periodically here too (just isn't in the fliers).

Also - I was in our new expanded Shopper's Drug Mart the other day - they have quite a few gluten-free products - cereal, chips, 'granola' bars, etc. They carry Riceworks chips but they also have their own knock off brand that says gluten free on it - bought some but haven't tried them yet.
