I feel there is a need for a thread just on where to buy GF ingredients, to make everyones life easier.

Yes I agree, but don't have hours to spend reading all the the messages, , they do contain heaps of very useful info, and everyone doesn't have the same reaction, I just need to find subs for the things I like to cook that need to be modified, it is amazing how big an issue this GF is and its combinations, I am so over feeling sick bloated and grumpy. :)

Binn Inn is quite handy if you have one in your area
Amen, I so agree, here we have fresh choice, new world and bin inn, I go to Blenheim to get most of what I need

:) Thanks! ! Where in Blenheim, I am often there, if they put everything GF in 1 place it would help, otherwise it's hit and miss if you find certain things, there is a maggi soup mix the is GF and I have been to alot of Supermarkets looking for it.

Bin Inn has a lovely fine rice flour, other brand rice flours can be gritty. They also have maize cornflour and lots of other GF products :)

Unfortunately in Whangarei, I need to go to a few different supermarkets to get what I need, as they all seem to supply different things. It's just a fact of life. But even when not gluten free not all supermarkets carried what I needed, but it is more evident now the differences in what supermarkets carry. In Whangarie Putiputrah is a good place to go. I try not to visit all four biggies in one week, and I don't need to go to Binn Inn, the health shops or putiputrah to get what I need, but it's great to visit these places and get more ideas . Also Elocin speciality foods do mail order from the net.

I spotted a Gluten Free Grocer near the top of Mt Eden Road where it meets Symonds St in Auckland.

hi colleen. New World Supermarket Bishopdale has a big range of gluten free products from all sorts of manufacturers - well worth a look. Their gluten free sausages are beautiful and they have different unusual flavours (all gluten free from the deli there). You will also find that most supermaerkets has a separate gluten free section so you may need to ask.

Hi Dianne, thanks for that will pop over there tomorrow, was in at Barrington Fresh Choice before, not to bad a selection, costing a small fortune to get all the right ingreds, friends will benefit from the pantry cleanout. I travel heaps for work, so now will be carrying extra things with me. . . . oh goodie :) I see Yeo's brand seem to be GF, Asain/Indian markets are cheaper than the run of the mill supermarkets.

St Martins New World has a good selection of gluten free. I agree that Asian and Indian markets are more economical. There is a new Indian market that you access off the South City car park that has very good prices and a good selection of g/f flours etc.
