IGA Marketplace is relatively new to me. Being an Ontario native, it’s taken me some time to learn the various grocery stores in and around Vancouver.
I stopped by the IGA on Burrard and Smithe the other day to pick up a few items. I was pleased to find an extensive selection of some of my favorite gluten-free products! Many gluten-free items can be found in the designated ‘health food’ section. But there are also gluten-free products throughout the store in the appropriate departments.
Gluten-free grocery shopping in Canada is getting easier everyday!

Living a gluten free lifestyle can not only seem overwhelming, but it can also get expensive. Sure, there is a small tax break for those diagnosed with celiac disease. But that doesn’t really make it any cheaper.
NoFrills is a great option to help alleviate the cost of eating gluten free. You can pick up many GF products such as canned foods (like tuna and tomatoes), or certain snacks (like rice chips and crackers).
The savings can add up quickly! Just be prepared to do some label-reading.

Safeway does not specialize in gluten-free products. However, I have noticed that they are beginning to offer more products that cater to celiac needs. In particular, the recent addition of the Kinnikinnick product line is a great value.
