Rant of the Day

 I've been noticing lately, the prices for some gluten free items in my local grocery store has begun to skyrocket out of control! I was at Publix doing some grocery shopping for my family. I wanted to stop and get some oatmeal for me to eat for breakfast. I stopped to see the quick pack instant oatmeal and my mouth dropped to the floor when I seen the ridiculous jump from it's usual price around $3.50-4.00 to it's now ridiculous price of $5 and some change. ( can't remember the change, I was in too much shock of seeing the number 5!) I think to myself, hey maybe it's just because it's the quick packs. So I walk further down to grab a bag of the rolled oats by Bobs Red Mill and I nearly almost fainted! Are you ready for this?  It was marked down for a whopping $7.49! Ahhhh!  I tried a health food store, Whole Foods, same thing! 

Publix.... Whole foods... what are you doing? I understand gluten free stuff may be a little more costly and takes more work to make, but seriously? Are you trying to make us gluten free people suffer. It's not like we're eating like this just because it is fun but because our health depends on it. All I want is to enjoy some lovely oats in the morning and not have to pay almost $8 for it. Times are hard, and that's just unacceptable. Get it together! 

Have you experienced the skyrocket prices lately? Share your thoughts.
