WALMART! Hooray for Walmart! They now have a gluten free section. At the Nampa, Greenhurst Walmart it is on the isle with the Asian, and Latino foods. It's small, but it's something. My Albertsons across the street also has a small Gluten Free section so if I can't find it at Walmart I go there!
They have pasta, cookies, crackers, pretzels, Oats, box mixes. They have a few of the flours like the Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan gum. Sometimes they have the Potato Starch but not always. I still get my Tapioca Starch at WINCO in the bulk section. I also get my Xanthan gum there in bulk. I think its the cheapest.
I have some friends that go to Seattle occasionally. They stock me up on Trader Joes Gluten Free Pasta!! It's the best price and I love their pasta!! So if you have a Trader Joes connection, USE IT!!
Happy Shopping!!

Geri, I have found that Winco now has at least 6 gluten free pastas in their bulk section (I buy the whole case, like 10 lbs, for around $20). If you talk to someone in the Bulk Foods Department you can order cases of it and it usually comes in within 2-7 days. They also have 2 varieties of gf granolas and close to a dozen gf flours or powders for cooking gf. You need to look at the labels closely to see which ones are gf because they are not allowed to label them as Gluten Free, even though the boxes come to the store labeled as such. Once they put them out into the bins, there is the possibility of cross contamination, by customers, so they are not allowed to label them as gf. I have talked to our Meridian store Bulk Foods manager and begged him to just print the label on a different color of paper, like cream or light blue. I even told him I'd buy him the first ream of paper. :-) It's been taken to committee....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just thought I would let you know that Winco has really been fleshing out their gf offerings and have brought in a whole bunch of new products! I LOVE Winco!
