There are times when I go food shopping and just get the basics for my family and try to get in and out as fast as I can (usually when I have the kids with me)!! Other times I like to take my time, planning new meals and picking up treats.

So, what are some of your staple items when shopping for groceries? Is
there something that you 'have' to get for your partner/kids? What do
you think about organic products? Let me know your regime.

Gluten free is a neccessity in our household and it is considerably more expensive, some things approx. double. Even flour, cornflour and icing sugar (not that we use much except for special occasions) is very expensive in comparison.
A lot of packaged foods have gluten as a thickener in them. Some list an ingredient but do that state that they have gluten in them. Most of the chocolate has gluten in it. Some chocolates also have orange in them, including Aust. made but they are not labelled. There are only 2 brands of chocolate that we know of that are gluten free. A special treat for Easter - not eggs but in the shape of a rabbit like a flat biscuit - probably gluten free biscuit with covered gluten free chocolate.
