No life changing news here, but as of 12th May Aldi are selling (although only temporarily I believe) a few Genius branded Gluten Free products in-store...
Genius GF Crumpets (4) - £1.49 (usually around £2 ).
Genius GF Pancakes (6) - £1.49 (usually around £2+).
Genius GF White Bread - £1.89 (usually around £3).
Genius GF Seeded Bread - £1.89 (usually around £3).
I still begrudge having to pay over the odds for GF produce, but this represents a saving nonetheless.
It seems as though Aldi have other Gluten Free grocery specials on at the moment, detailed here...
I also found this guide, listing the gluten free products they usually stock (as opposed to during Special events like this). The handy guide's here...
**EDIT: It seems Sainsbury's and Ocado are selling the Genius bread cheaper than usual too, but Aldi's still the cheapest.

Agree quality has dropped off since they ramped up production but still one of the better options.
Great to see a major supermarket bring down prices for gluten free products.

Yes, they should. Should the obese get the thousands of pounds of treatment and free surgery on the NHS though? No.

Should people with coeliac disease receive gluten free food on the NHS?
Things like gluten free pasta and bread have been widely available on prescription to patients in England, but over the last year, it's been withdrawn in many parts of the country.
The cost to the NHS is relatively small, but some believe the NHS should not be prescribing food to patients at all.
We debate this, and examine if prescriptions are the best way to help people with coeliac disease to meet the extra cost of their food.
This lunchtime the Wickford store was selling it for 89p, both white and seeded (the missus prefers the latter). Don't know if other branches are doing the same but it was a pukka label, not a hand written one so it might be worth investigating if you're GF. It freezes well.

good price but genius stuff tastes carp... asda/tesco own brands tend to taste far better

Just had this for my lunch (albeit from Coop for £2.99). It's the only one I buy nowadays
I've tried making my own gluten free bread in a breadmaker... bah!....
tried Warburton's, okish.
I used to get the 'ds' vacuum packed one, that has actually been my favourite to date; but they changed the recipe (and it contains apple now which I am intolerant too) and so I can't digest it any more.
Genius is the only one I buy on a regular basis and the rolls are nice too.... just sooooooooo expensive :confused:
