Taking Advantage

Its now the start of October and I am only getting around to writing my next post.
Work has been hectic and will be even busier during October.
The title of this post refers to cost of gluten free food which unfortunately I have to rely on.
Its how expensive it is that totally frustrates me.
Its nearly €3-00 for a very small loaf with about 12 tiny slices - 2 are equal to one slice of 'normal' bread. So basically I'm paying 50c for an average portion of bread. You could nearly buy a whole loaf for that in some of the supermarkets!
I'm not mean or stingy but it doesnt stop at bread and rolls. There's pasta, biscuits, and sauces too which I buy on a regular basis. All about double or triple the price of 'normal' ones! It would be nearly worth it if most of it didnt taste like stale cake or baked cardboard.
It would also be good if these 'cheeky' manufacturers/distributors could use a little imagination and expand the choices. How nice it would be to occasionally walk in to the supermarket and be able to buy simple things like fish fingers or a frozen pizza or a nice apple pie or something yum from the bakery! But alas no.
Although to be fair the choice has improved a lot over the past few years and Tesco to give them their due have the widest choices and best tasting products I have come across. I know in the UK they have a much more varied choice than we have here in Ireland, especially the Sainsbury brand.
I could probably buy some stuff online but then with shipping costs I'm back to being reduced to paying even more for basic foodstuffs.
So that's my release of steam for today. Hopefully I will make an effort to log in here a little more regularly.
