If you&#8217;re the kind of person who checks the discount shelving in the supermarket &#8211; and let&#8217;s face it, that&#8217;s pretty much all of us these days &#8211; you might find it useful. Plus: they sometimes have branded gluten free products.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the short timescales, there&#8217;s no guarantee of what will be there from day to day. But today, there are some well known gluten free ranges, notably Baker&#8217;s Delight and a deidentified supermarket range (if you&#8217;ve been into the supermarket, you&#8217;ll know whose it is).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a screenshot of the gluten free page.

Note that I&#8217;ve ticked the box for &#8216;in-date&#8217; foods only, so there might be more options that are just past their sell-by date.

This might be the first week I do place an order, as there isn&#8217;t always gluten free food available.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about this kind of clearance shopping?
