Shop-Rite of Manchester CT
I haven't shopped at Shop-Rite of Manchester, CT in years. I tend to go to the stores closest to me and the ones I am most familiar with. But on Saturday, I was at Ocean State Job Lot because it has a fantastic selection of Bob's Red Mill products for much less than my usual grocery stores. I wanted to make Vegetarian Sausage and needed Vital Wheat Gluten and Chickpea Flour (not your standard pantry staples, I know!) and Ocean State Job Lot didn't have them.
As I sat in my car, I googled "where to buy vital wheat gluten" and the first response was Shop-Rite of Manchester, which happens to be right across the street. I called the store (lazy, I know) to see if they had it in stock, and sure enough they did. I thought it would be a really long shot to see if they had chickpea flour, so I googled "how to make chickpea flour" and found out that I could just grind dried chickpeas to make my own.
So I went into Shop-Rite of Manchester and was amazed at the entire wing devoted to organic and gluten-free products! They not only had vital wheat gluten but also chickpea flour. The area was attractively set up, and I browsed the shelves for a while because I am sure I will be returning to Shop-Rite of Manchester. They carried many more organic products than my usual stores, which tend to hide such products (not sure why).
I'm not sure why I was so surprised, but it was a pleasant surprise. So if you are in need of organic or gluten-free products, check out Shop-Rite of Manchester, CT.
I will let you know how the vegetarian sausage comes out in a later post!
