When it comes to grocery shopping I don't stick to just one store. I'll shop the standard Cub, Rainbow or Super Target and buy some things in bulk at Sam's Club. For the more specialty gluten-free items I'll go to Fresh and Natural Foods. Occasionally if I just need a few things I even shop at Aldi. I used to just get the basic produce and milk when I didn't want to run into a large store. As I looked at more labels I noticed there they carried more gluten-free items than I thought. I know a lot of people that say they can't shop at Aldi because they don't have much for a gluten-free diet. Let me show you that you actually can shop there.Notice that standard produce and pantry items as well as some treats. Aldi is one of few places where I can find gluten-free meatballs and they are very reasonably priced.
It is difficult to see in this picture but this chipotle pepper hummus says "gluten-free" right on the lid! I love to have options and not be tied to one particular store.On a side note: Today gluta-baby is 6 months old. I have also been eating gluten-free for 6 months now since I decided I would nurse him. Surprisingly it has been much easier than I have thought and I haven't felt deprived. I believe the combination of nursing and eating gluten-free have been major factors in helping loose the baby weight as well.

Aldi just opened in my area last week, so I will have to check it out. What is the brand of the meatballs? I love Jennie-O turkey meatballs (only the red bag Italian style is gluten-free, labeled gf on website, but not on package). I love Jennie-O, but they have too much seasoning for my daughter, so need to find one she will eat too.
They are the Fit & Active Turkey meatballs.
Does anyone know if the fit and active turkey burgers or pre cooked chicken chunks are gluten free?
Can anyone provide a list of items that are gluten free at Aldi?
I asked at Aldi if they have a gluten-free list and they do not at this time. I thought they might since Trader Joe's does and they are owned by the same company but no luck yet.
