Shopping for Gluten Free


Here are just some different places we have found to pick up variouse gluten free items to cook with at the best prices. 

            Winco:  Brown rice spaghetti noodles (in the bulk section)
                          Brown rice elbow/macaroni Noodles (in the bulk section)
                          Gluten Free Granola (in the bulk section)
                          Corn Starch (in the bulk section) (used in gluten free baking)
                          Tapioca Starch (in the bulk section) (used in gluten free baking)
                          White Rice flour (In the bulk section) (used in gluten free baking)
                          Xanthan gum (in the bulk section) (used in gluten free baking)
                         Buckwheat flour (in the bulk section) (used in gluten free baking)
                          Udi’s Bread (in freezer at the bakery section)
                         
Asian Markets: Rice noodles (they come in different thicknesses, I like to buy the ones called rice sticks and use them as I would angle hair pasta)  I have found these noodles to be in most asian sections of stores but they are significantly cheaper if bought at an Asian Market.  I shop at one in Provo.  It is on 500W and something like 50ish north.  It shares a building with a furniture store on the left side of the road if driving south.

Smiths:  Udi’s products (If not sold quickly they go to the discount bread area and although they are a little stale since they are a bit old they taste fresh if heated in the microwave before eating and they are usually half price if you can find any in that discount area and if you are on a limited budget this can be a huge help.  They freeze great so if you find a few packs and the cheap price you can freeze whatever you are not going to use within 2-3 days and thaw as needed.  I generally find some if I go Monday morning or early afternoon and sometimes they are there on other days as well)

Maceys:  Great gluten free section!  A bit pricey to buy pre-made gluten free products but they have a ton if you are interested.  One of my favorite things that they have is gluten free ice cream cones.  They can be found in the regular boxed ice cream cone section, just make sure that you grab the box labeled gluten free. 
              Gluten Free Soy Sauce (San J Tamari Gluten Free) can be found in their soy sauce section.

            Walmart: Crackers
                              Lasagna noodles
They have other items as well in the gluten free section, same isle as the paper plates.

Sprouts: Many great gluten free options.  They carry a brand called Shär which makes great gluten free baguettes and other breads.  They also carry things like gluten free Oreo (different brand) cookies, animal crackers, regular gluten free crackers, and tons of other things.  Gluten Free Soy Sauce (San J Tamari Gluten Free) can be found in their soy sauce section and this is the cheapest place we have found it so far.
