I have a love/hate relationship with Costco. If I can get there on a quiet weekday with my hubby, it's heaven! If I am forced to go on a busy weekend it's pretty much my definition of hell. I hate crowds and people that leave their carts in the middle of the aisle while they browse. I hate that I fall in love with a new product and then Costco stops carrying it.
For the most part though, Costco has some rocking good deals and they (sometimes) carry a nice variety of gluten-free products. Some you won't see anywhere else, and some are just a much better deal than buying them elsewhere.
My most recent gluten free purchases:
Crunchmaster Gluten Free Crackers
I have bought them in the small bags at Save On/Sobeys for around $3-$3.50/bag. I recently bought the club size at Costco for a little under $7 and its probably equal to about 6 of the normal bags! I love these crackers dipped in herb and garlic cream cheese.
Food Should Taste Good Multigrain Tortilla Chips
I used to buy these before long before our family went gluten-free. They are delicious! We use them for making nachos or dipping in salsa (Newman's Own Mango is my fav). $6 for a very large bag. Great deal.
Mrs. Mays Almond Crunch Bars
I find it hard to find gluten-free snack bars that taste good and don't break the bank. These are a fairly new product that I have not seen anywhere else. They come in a bulk pack of 3 different flavors. I can't remember the price. These bars are crunchy, filling and all the flavors are delicious. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and kosher.
Suzie's Whole Grain Thin Cakes
I pack these in the kids lunches, we eat them for breakfast with peanut butter on them. Yummy thin brown rice/quinoa/flax cakes. I haven't seen them sold in Sobeys or Save On.
Silver Hills Gluten Free Omega Flax Bread
I will admit that I did not love this bread. I have been spoiled by Udi's. This bread is very dense and nutty tasting. However, my son is egg allergic and can't eat Udi's products because of this. He will eat this bread toasted with butter/cinnamon sugar or jam on it. It comes in a package of 2 loaves for around $7. Much cheaper than buying gluten free bread at your typical supermarket.
I really hope that Costco will continue to carry more and more gluten free options. As we know eating gluten-free is quite expensive and anytime we can find quality products at a discount, that is a very good thing!
