You can also find a wide range of other gluten free products such as flours, cereals, and baking mixes.

Our Least Favorite Gluten Free Grocery Stores
Whole Foods Market
This popular grocery chain has a wide selection of gluten-free products and is known for its commitment to natural and organic products.
BUT... have you noticed that their gluten-free product selection hasn't been as good? I've noticed a huge drop off of in the selection available. It's so disappointing to see more and more of my favorite brands disappear!
Thrive Market
Thrive Market offers an online membership-based store with natural and organic products at discounted prices. The downside of Thrive?
I am the only one that eats gluten free and dairy free in my immediate family. The price for just me doesn't justify the cost! And the shipping prices ALWAYS kill me! My husband and I order stuff for work and other events to offset our yearly Amazon prime price, so it ends up being a lot cheaper to just order from Amazon since Amazon offers us free Prime shipping. Everytime I try to order in Thrive, my shipping ranges from $9-13+ on top of the $5/month membership. We've added it up, and if only 1-2 people are using Thrive, it may not make financial sense to purchase a membership. Which is a bummer. I check out the store occasionally to see what memberships they offer but it still hasn't been financially possible to justify the cost.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I have just been diagnosed with PCOS and one of my goals is cut dairy and gluten from my diet, and it was so hard to find one place that has it all with an affordable budget, I was looking into Thrive market as well but I am also the only one in my family with dietary restrictions, so thank you for not recommending it.
I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with PCOS. I hope you are doing better with the dietary changes. Keep me posted on if you find some stores that you like the best!
Just came across your site by accident. I was looking for store that shipped out items to my home, but unfortunately I didn't find any. Instead I found a vast amount of information about cooking , new recipes, plus alot more very helpful and useful info . Great site !!
