As a gluten free blogger/recipe developer, I am asked all the time what my favorite products are.

In response, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite gluten free flours and gluten free breads, but as time goes on I realize that more of you are looking for where to shop.

You’re tired of going to half a dozen stores and finding a skimpy selection.

You’re probably also frustrated by spending $4 for a box of crackers or $7 for a loaf of bread only to want to toss it in the trash after the first bite.

And I get it! My family has been doing gluten free for almost 9 years now (what?!) and I have had so many of those experiences. When we first began, we were on a super tight budget, living in a 2-bedroom apartment with 2 kids and one on the way and let me tell you, the pre-packaged gluten free products were not great.

As a way to save money and actually enjoy food, I began creating my own recipes which you’ll find here on the blog, and making everything from scratch.

Over time, the gluten free market has expanded and I’ve been tasting and sharing my favorite products as a way to help you save a few bucks here and there. If I share a product, please know that I truly love it and eat it myself!

One of the best places I’ve found to do my gluten free shopping at a decent price is Thrive Market.

WHAT IS THRIVE MARKET?

Thrive Market is an online store that has one of the BEST gluten free selections at discounted prices

I have some great grocery stores nearby, but I know that many of you live in remote areas without this kind of access, and Thrive Market is a great way to get access to a large selection of gluten free foods when gluten free shopping isn’t a great option locally.

WHY I LOVE GLUTEN FREE SHOPPING AT THRIVE MARKET:

1. One word: pasta. If you follow me on social, you probably already know how much I love Jovial pasta. We’ve tried them all, and this one is by far the best. This pasta is made in Italy, and the texture and taste are just like wheat pasta. The reason I buy on Thrive Market is because they have alll the shapes, whereas I can only find a few at any given store. On Thrive, I can find manicotti (!), egg noodles, bow-tie, and more, and all cheaper than my local grocery store.
2. Discounts. All products on Thrive are already discounted, but once you sign up they’ll send you periodic discounts. I always wait until a good one comes along, like 20% off my entire order, and then I stock up!
3. Selection. As with the pasta, there are just so many gluten free options, and they’re easy to find by selecting the gf filter. There are also filters for vegan, nut free, keto, and many more special diets. They also have health and beauty products, supplements, and more.

Thrive Market works similarly to Costco where you buy an annual membership, and I find that it pays for itself with how much I save on gluten free shopping throughout the year.

They’ll sometimes send you shipping deals, but you can always get free shipping by spending $59 (which is easy to do!). If you would like to try Thrive Market, you can sign up through my link and get 25% off your first order.

Below you’ll find my favorite products, and if you keep scrolling I’m also sharing products I’ve tried and haven’t liked. The list is pretty short right now but I’ll come back and update as needed.
