What Are The Best Deals From Amazon?

I shop a lot from Amazon -- I have a Prime account, which means that I get free two-day shipping if a product is sold by Amazon -- and I wondered what the best deals were? I saw that they sell twelve packs of the Blue Diamond Nut Thins for what works out to be about $2.30 a box. I got the crackers for $2 a box the other day at Whole Foods, but that was a big sale, and they're normally more than that. Anything else?

It really depends on how much of a product you can use. I buy the econo bags of gluten-free corn flakes, the multi grain Glutino crackers, pretzels when on sale. Oh the rice krispies too...Lame Advertisement seeds as well. there is a ton of stuff gluten-free ... but your right you do need to price shop...

Okay I just went back & read the word AMAZON --- I thought we were not allowed to use that name?

I buy my Tinkyada pasta and my Pamela's bread and/or pancake/baking mix from Amazon... scheduling them both at the same time to take advantage of free shipping. I live in west-by-god nowhere and Tinkyada pasta and individual packages of Pamela's are really expensive... in the TWO stores where I can find one or the other!

The local health food store offered to buy Pamela's bread mix to stock and I had to tell the guy that I could get it cheaper from Amazon, so he shouldn't bother.

I just bought cases of Kind bars. It worked out to $1.25 a bar (and I LOVE them) I saw their Food Should Taste Good chips were something like $.90 a bag, but I didn't order them as they were the olive, which I can't stand. My last purchase as pasta...ratidore in bulk, and Ancient Harvest Quinoa and Corn spagetti by the case. :P

I get (in bulk)

Tinkyada Pasta

Pamelas Pancake and Baking Mix

Pamelas Bread Mix

Pamelas mini Chocolate cookies

Glutino (cheese) crackers

Clif twisted fruit sticks (or something like that)

Chocolate Chex Cereal

I get most of those through the Subscribe and Save program. You get an extra 15% off and free shipping (even if it's less than $25) for placing a standing order. Don't worry about the standing order part. You can cancel after the first shipment if you want. You can have a 1, 2, 3, or 6 month interval. If you need to order early, you go ahead and tell them to ship early. If you need to delay, you can delay. They send an email right before they process the order so that if you need to delay or cancel it, you can. The only item above that I didn't really save good money on was the Clif twisted fruit things. I did save a little on the "regular" price but I could ocassionaly get it cheaper on sale but the problem was the store never had the flavor my daughter liked.

If I remember correctly, the Glutino pretzels were a good deal (in bulk) but we don't go through them fast enough to justify having 12 bags of them sitting around.

I LOVE the subscribe and save. And right now they have a promo from General Mills going on that makes Chex and Betty Crocker mixes incredibly cheap! You do have to be careful with making sure you'll eat what you order. We had to throw away a bunch of stuff that expired because I went a little crazy. So much for that savings!

The Kind bars and Lara bars are really good values (at least compared to our prices). As are Stretch Island Fruit Leathers, gluten-free cereals, bread mixes, Pamela's chocolate chunk cookies, Quinoa pasta, oh for us pretty much anything is cheaper than our local prices! It's just a matter of only buying stuff you can eat the bulk amount of.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
