Just a few notes over the weekend:
- I noted a couple of interesting things in Walmart's bread aisle yesterday: non-gluten wraps and sprouted wheat bread. Actually, the Orowheat product has sprouted wheat flour as the second ingredient, i.e., it's not like it's 100% sprouted grain. You have to be very careful, e.g., there's a difference between "whole wheat" bread and "100% whole wheat".
- I am a very avid Amazon.com customer, but there are some things where you can buy cheaper directly from the vendor or another outlet: for example, bread or wraps. In some cases, shipping costs can be almost as expensive as the product itself. You might want to consider a vendor like Netrition or Vitacost. In some cases, I've even seen the direct vendor waive shipping costs with a purchase total of $100 or so dollars.
- What is the deal with paleo wraps? I've seen the cost being up to $2 or more for a single (often coconut flour) wrap. You can get a package of flatbreads like Flatout for less than $3 a package that will last a week.
- This is probably a limited-time offer, but Quest Nutrition was offering 12-pack boxes of "crunchless" vanilla almond bars for $10, plus shipping, over the holiday weekend. Many of Quest's boxes run in the mid-$20's range. I'm a repeat purchaser.
