When ever I'm in Atlanta, I like to make a few stops for things I can't get in Panama City, like gluten-free panko-style bread crumbs and gluten-free frozen burritos and this list could go on and on and on. Anyway, places I like to shop include the following list:
Trader Joe's
Return to Eden
Natural Foods Warehouse
Costco
When I'm in Tuscaloosa, Ala., I like to shop at Manna Grocery. They have THE MOST knowledgeable staff of anywhere I've ever shopped -- EVER! Manna Grocery is amazing and, in my experience, a one-of-a-kind health food store.
Winn Dixie brand kettle potato chips are gluten free. The jalapeno flavor are my favorite. If you are in the Panama City area, the Winn Dixie on Highway 231 at the corner of Transmitter Road usually carries frozen gf Garden Lite vegetable souffles that are really good and frozen gluten-free pepperoni pizza. But the last stop I made there, I didn't see the gluten-free pizza. I hope they haven't stopped carrying it. Maybe I was the only one buying it.
Publix also carries some good gluten free items but watch out for brands that can't be trusted. Some brands label their product(s) as "Gluten Free" even though they are not 100% gluten-free. I talked to the manager at the Publix on 23rd Street in Panama City about an item that was labeled "Gluten Free" that had wheat listed in the ingredients, and I was told by said manager that it is legal for them to label their product "Gluten Free" as long as it contains below a certain percentage of gluten -- therefore he would continue to sell that product. (I'll get the brand name of that product next time I stop by that Publix location).
