So there really isn't a good reason for this post but as we were grocery shopping today it seriously hit me how much we spend for gluten/wheat free products just so Kassidy can eat and not be sick. Here is an example of a few main things we keep around the house that we usually buy every month:
8 oz. box of animal cookies - $3.59
10 oz. box of honey cereal (compare to honey cheerios) - $4.99
4.5 oz. box of crackers (compare to Ritz) - $4.89
1 box of 6 crispy rice bars (compare to granola bars) - $3.79
23 oz. bag of pancake mix - $5.29
14 oz. bag of pretzels - $5.79
24 oz. (16 slices) of millet bread - $4.69 and if I make it myself it's 5 something.
Some of these prices may not be way higher but some of them are and this is just a sampling of the money we spend. No wonder we are in debt, hehe. So when you go shopping the next time just be thankful you can buy your kids crap like a 59 cent box of Mac & Cheese, a 99 cent loaf of bread, a 1.00 bag of spaghetti, etc.

SERIOUSLY??!! The other day I was telling my hubby that we spend SOOOOO much more on our kids than ourselves. The thing we do for our kids??!!:-)
thanks for posting some gluten-free prices. i thought we did good when we've gone gluten-free for a day at a time here & there but i really never had to pay the price of doing it long-term...
