On Church Street. That was supposed to

be Church, not Castro.

My bad…

Food store on Castro

I went to the new Natural Foods store today and thought it was

pretty lame. It had about five or six different kinds of GF bread, but

other than that, not so much in the way of the “big” or

“cheap” GF section I was told about.

If you’re thinking of making a big trip to it,

don’t. The parking sucks and the selection is smaller than at WF,

and everything was WAY more expensive. My hubby & I grabbed a few

things, then pretty much walked out in disgust.

Lil,

Sorry to hear you were disappointed. I've never been

to Whole Foods (I don't have a car and I hate bringing

groceries on MUNI)... but as far as I can tell Golden

Natural Foods is the best thing we have in the

Castro-Mission neighborhood. It sure beats Rainbow in

terms of selection, anyhow.

If I succeed in getting them to carry Kinnikinnick

products, I'll let the list know.

Have you tried Rainbow Grocery in SF? Out of the places I have been to, they had the biggest GF selection I had seen, at least with cereals and baking mixes. I only recall maybe two breads, but GF bread is mostly off my radar since I find most brands too eggy.

Oh yeah. I go to Rainbow & WF all the

time. I had just heard about the new Natural Foods store & got all

excited. From what I had heard I was expecting a HUGE GF section for like,

half the cost of Rainbow.

I just went there a few days ago and thought it was much better than

Rainbow. They didn't really have a GF section, but they had a ton of

GF stuff throughout the store. GF waffles in with the other frozen

waffles, GF crackers in with the other crackers, etc.

I'm not all that familiar with Rainbow's GF stuff, but it seemed to

be all on one rack and kinda " eh " ? On the other hand, I'm the kind of

shopper who likes to wander around stores and get inspired, so it may

just be that I liked the spread-out layout better.

Rainbow’s is spread out too.

I guess it was just that I heard from two

different people “they have a HUGE GF section, and everything is WAY cheaper”,

so I was expecting a “GF Section” and everything to be “way”

cheaper, not $1.50 more than Whole Paycheck…
