My Favorite Places to get Gluten Free Foods on a Budget

Are there food allergies in your house and you’re not sure where to buy gluten free foods? Here are some of our favorite places to buy gluten free foods that are also dairy free and soy free.

As I’ve mentioned in other posts, my oldest son and I have some food intolerances and allergies. I can’t have gluten, dairy, soy, avocado, spinach, or shellfish. He can’t have gluten, dairy, or egg.

Here is a sampling of where we’re able to find our gluten free foods. Be sure to always check labels prior to purchasing, whether that be online or in-store as product ingredients can change from batch to batch.

Target

  • Yep, you heard me right, Target. They have really expanded their gluten free foods options lately.
  • Super Target stores have more selection than regular Target stores
  • Depending on the item you can get them in-store, via Target.com, Drive Up, Pick Up, or via Shipt (with subscription). If you have a Super Target relatively close to you but it’s not your closest Target, you can switch the location you want them to shop from right on your phone or computer within the Target website or app to be the Super Target with an expanded selection instead of your closest store.
    • Daiya – cheese slices, cheese shreds, mac & cheese, frozen dessert bars, pizzas
    • Canyon Bakehouse – white & multigrain bread, bagels, and other bakery type goods (does contain egg) Often in the produce section
    • Silk – milk, and yogurt; watch out though, some of their yogurts do contain soy so be sure to read labels carefully. I prefer the Silk Almond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
    • Udi’s Gluten-Free bread, muffins, mug cakes, frozen french dinner rolls, hamburger, and hot dog buns. Check labels carefully, some items contain dairy and most contain egg.
    • Enjoy Life – chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips
    • So Delicious – dairy free cheese slices, shredded cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, ice cream
    • Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free oats, flours – coconut, almond, tapioca, 1 to 1 baking flour, egg replacer, nutritional yeast
    • Epic Bars – chicken sriracha, venison sea salt & pepper, beef sea salt & pepper – these are all amazing on the go snacks or even meal replacement if in a rush
    • Larabars – these are amazing on the go snacks
    • Justin’s nut butter – almond, hazelnut, and chocolate
    • Earth Balance Soy Free Spread
    • Barilla Gluten Free Noodles: Penne, Elbows, Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Lasagna
    • Partake Cookies and Crackers
    • MadeGood: Granola bars, granola bites, crackers, breakfast bars, and cookies
  • Shipt delivery and Target Circle

My oldest son just months after he was diagnosed with gluten, dairy, and egg sensitivities. He was almost 2 years old and I was pregnant with our twins. He was so excited to have a little grocery cart at our local co-op full of food he could actually eat!!

Wild Pasture

If you’re looking for farm fresh, organic, grass fed and finished, pasture raised chicken, beef, pork, and fish, check out Wild Pasture. They have great prices on their boxes of meat that you can either buy as a one-time purchase or as a subscription which they’ll send you as often as you’d like AND you actually get to choose what you get!

The meat from Wild Pasture farmers is more nutrient rich and has a positive environmental impact, which is extremely important to me, and hopefully you too!

I picked the smaller of the two subscriptions since my boys still don’t eat a whole lot. I love being able to pick out each item equaling 15 lbs of organic, pasture raised meat so I know exactly what I’m getting and can meal plan ahead of time. I also added on some St. Louis ribs, meat snack sticks, and salmon.

I like to save money and do my research, so before I purchased I figured out how much it would cost from my local grocery store for conventional meats and then for organic meats from the co-op about 20 miles away. All in all, it wasn’t much more than conventional meats AND it was much cheaper than my local co-op. I’d much rather be eating organic meat than conventional for the health benefits and taste!

Great quality, great price, and convenient! PLUS if you sign up through my link in the button below, you get $20 off your first order PLUS 20% off your meat for life if you sign up for a subscription!!

How it works; customize your order, get your delivery, cook, eat and enjoy!

Nuts.com

Nuts are a great source of protein and healthy fats, we eat a lot of them in our house!

Nuts.com has the biggest selection I’ve seen that are gluten free nuts. Make sure that the nuts you pick indicate they are certified gluten free in the description as not all of them are.

Here are some of my favorites:

Nature’s Bakery – Gluten Free Fig Bars

Nature’s Bakery has three varieties of Gluten Free Fig Bars including Blueberry, Raspberry, and Pomegranate.

Be careful when you’re buying to ensure that you’re purchasing the Gluten Free versions of the bars you’d like.

My boys and I LOVE these for snacks so I buy them by the ‘Build a Box’ option where you can save up to 20% by buying in bulk. We buy 12 boxes at a time and my boys go through them quickly. Ha! They’re so nummy!!


Other Stores

From what I’ve heard, HyVee, Fresh Thyme, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods have a vast selection of gluten, dairy, soy, and egg-free products as well, I just don’t have them near me so don’t shop them.

I’m sure there are a lot more places to buy gluten free foods but here are just a few places I tend to shop. Feel free to add your own below in the comments!!
