Gluten Free finds at Costco

I get so excited when I run into gluten and casein free food in "regular" stores or unexpected places, like my recent finds at the Christmas Tree Shop. This time of year, I see more of it because of foods that are Kosher for Passover, like our favorite Shabtai Gourmet treats which in the past I've ordered online but right now they are in "regular" grocery store chains. So, as I was at Costco picking up a cake for a meeting I'm going to later - I stopped in my tracks. A giant mountain of gluten free baked goods from Schicks Bakery - all marked Kosher for Passover, so these are a seasonal offering to our Costco. Prices were under $10 and they had an assortment of cookies and cakes. I plan on picking up a few later in the week to pop in the freezer






So, these treats are seasonal to Costco but they are also starting to stock gluten free foods right on their "regular" shelves. One is the Food Should Taste Good brand of chips. I didn't realize they were carrying these here until a friend of mine tipped me off to it - I'd gotten some samples of them a while back that were really yummy. So, off to Costco and I was pleased to see that they were actually using these chips at one of their sampling stations paired with a crab dip! Costco doesn't take coupons, but in the interest of sharing gfcf-diet money-saving tips, the the Food Should Taste Good Website even has a $1 off printable coupon on their website right now when you join their "fan club".







Next time I go to Costco and have a bit more time I am really going to go with my eagle-eye to see what else they have there Gluten Free. In the past I've seen Mary's Gone Crackers as well as EnviroKidz lines there. Also, their Kirkland brands are all clearly labeled whether they contain gluten or not!

I believe Costco carries a store brand version of Crunchmasters whole grain crackers (www.crunchmasters.com). I know they're GF, but not sure if CF. Alas, Crunchmasters are not. It might be worth checking out, though.
