I have found every store has different stuff. I think you can go to customer service and ask if you can look around.

We do use Costco. I get things like paper goods (paper towels, toilet paper), soaps (detergent, dish soap), dried mangoes, dried nuts, frozen stuff ... Also single-serve hummus containers.

I found big boxes of gluten-free crackers there, big boxes of gluten-free cereal, organic Quinoa at good prices! I am in Canada, Southern Ontario but I was impressed with the stuff they had...I also seem to remember thinking that their Kirkland brand stuff was pretty well labeled.

I definitely love Costco, but I was disappointed in the range of gluten-free items at my local stores. They no longer carry the big boxes of Bell and Evans chicken nuggets, for example. Also they don't have the Delimex taquitos. I find I have better luck buying gluten-free things like crackers and Chebe mix in bulk online.

heyy teaa do you have a good website i could use?? I really need to start buying bulk it would make my life soo much easier:)

There are some threads here where members have listed their finds. It does seem to vary by location and stock changes from time to time. We shop there alot and find many gluten-free things.

I use Amazon... I have a Prime account so two day shipping is free. They definitely don't have everything, though, either.

We save a bunch on just mainstream things like eggs, mayo, soda, meats, frozen chicken breasts and thighs, frozen veggies, Lara bars. olives, progresso new england clam chowder, etc.

Last week, they were sampling gluten free tamales, which we bought and froze.

But beware of some of their snack things, like Cashew Squares - -

says is big letters on front "Gluten Free"

but on back says processed on shared equipment that also processes wheat.

I didn't notice the back package print until my son and I had eaten the squares and gotten bad belly-whompus! We don't get those anymore!

Since the day that Costco opened its first building DECADES ago, they had gluten free products at exceptional prices. The only issue is that they were not labeled gluten free and most likely they are not labeled as such today. Do I have you thoroughly confused? I hope not, as here is the list of gluten free items that are on my Costco shopping list each week:

- Frozen fish

- Fresh blueberries

- Greek yogurt

- Eggs

- Lean flank steak

- Fresh blackberries

- Low fat cottage cheese

- Lean pork tenderloin

- All natural and lean lunchmeats (turkey especially)

- Fresh apples

- Mixed gourmet nuts

- Roasted almonds

- Low fat cheese

- Fresh fish

- Green tea

- Frozen turkey burgers

- Frozen salmon burgers

- Fresh salad kits

- Low fat cheese

Although I give VERY high marks (and high fives) to those food manufacturers that are creating new items in the dry area and center of the building, shop the perishable and frozen sections FIRST. Nature's best gluten-free items have been around for thousands of years.

wait a second -Costco=Kirkland? so that means all kirkland brands are ok?

[GlutenGladi8or]

Kirkland tires, Kirkland Toilet Paper, and Kirkland Laundry detergent are all gluten-free. (Christmas eve joke. Kidding of course).

NO NOT ALL KIRKLAND BRAND ITEMS ARE GLUTEN FREE.

The point I am trying to make is that you should shop the perishable departments for branded and private label items first. Commodity items are typically gluten-free. (fresh meat, produce, and dairy)

Let your eyes be the final judge and read all labels.

This might be my favorite post ever on this board! You missed a few though.

- Basmati rice in bulk, cheap!

- Artichokes for great prices when they're in season

- Artichoke hearts in jars when they're not

- Asian pears

- Sweet peppers

- Potatoes

- Hummus

- Celery (to eat with the hummus)

- Imported sharp cheddar

- Canned olives

- Three-bean salad

- Coffee (Starbuck's roasts for Kirkland at half the price)

- Bottled water

- Wine

Costco is great for buying the meat, fish, nuts, potatoes, rice, and produce that should make up the bulk of a gluten-free diet. Mine also has a lot of naturally gluten-free processed foods but it's not the bulk of my shopping. Some of the stuff I've grabbed there are Progresso soups, Cattle Drive chicken chili, Kirkland pulled pork, Pirate's Booty, Mrs. May's nut crunch, Crunchmaster rice crackers, and Kirkland organic corn chips.
