I forgot to report earlier that Caleb liked the Rice noodles I bought from Kroger. I also thought they tasted like regular noodles. The box is smaller and they are more expensive than regular noodles. I read on a blog today that GF foods cost 2 to 3 times more than regular food. I think I could manage to do it cheaper and I like a challenge like that! The most obvious way to save money is to make things from scratch and the next is to buy in bulk. I haven't had the opportunity yet to buy in bulk but I'm looking forward to doing so very soon.
However, I found some good deals at Kroger yesterday on the GF cereal and cereal bars. They were on manager's special for $1.55 and $1.29 respectively. That's about a dollar off their regular price. Every little savings counts! I stocked up too!
I think the hardest thing for me right now is planning ahead. I would like to have a week's worth of menu plans written out already but I don't have. I have a couple of days worth but a week would be better. Also, we will be going on a mini vacation in a couple of weeks, so I need to plan for that. We have reserved a place to stay with a kitchen so we can still make most of our own meals.
Caleb hasn't complained about the diet so far. It is definitely easier than trying to cut out gluten, dairy, soy and eggs...all at the same time! That was near impossible! He remembers how difficult that was and realizes how much easier this is. Funny what a little perspective does for a person.
