Searching for Bob's Red Mill Products in Edmonton

[nsstampqueen]

Hoping someone might know of a store that carries a large selection of Bob's Red Mill products in the Edmonton area. I know that Safeway, and any of the big stores carry a small selection, but am finding it too limited. I would like to purchase things like the different cereals - 7 grain, 10 grain, stone ground oatmeal, etc. As well as the different types of flour they offer, etc.

Any suggestions? Anyone know of a store that carries a large selection - I was thinking perhaps an organic store...

I have found quite a bit in the grains section at Safeway. What are looking for in particular?

[nsstampqueen]

I normally shop at Manning Crossing Safeway, limited selection; or Fort Saskatchewan Safeway - very small selection.

I am specifically looking for the following Bob's Red Mill Products - Soy Flour, 10 Grain - Flour, Hot Cereal Mix, and Bread Mix, Masa Harina, 7 Grain Hot Cereal, Sourdough Starter, Raisin Bran Muffin Mix, Chia Seeds, Basmati Brown Rice and Steel Cut Oats.

There are other items listed on their website that I would purchase if the opportunity presented itself, but these are the ones I would use on a regular basis.

Can you let me know which Safeway you shop at that has a good selection of products, and thanks!

Stadium Save-On (82 St and 112 Ave) has the 7 Grain hot cereal and Scottish Oatmeal. Maybe not worth a special trip just for one kind of cereal, but if you're passing by . . .

I'm curious as to why Bob's for all of these? Is there something particular about the brand? I only ask because some of the non-blended items, such as chia seeds, brown basmati, and steel cut oats can probably be purchased a lot of places at a better price (i.e. I use Lundberg brown basmati, steel cut oats are quite common, and chia seeds can be found a number places including Bulk Barn).

What do you do with Chia seeds? I have seen them but I don't know what to do with them...

[Dan G]

grow chia pets :)

I've had them in a cereal blend (made by someone in Stony Plain, bought at Callingwood Market). Not sure if they really add anything to it...

They add health to it, they are 'superfoods'

Andy's IGA on 142 Street carries a pretty large selection of Bob's Mill products. I've noticed quite a few items in the flour/grains section at that store, though I'm not too sure about the cereals, as I'm not often in that aisle.

Ed's Gluten Free has several types of Bob's Mill products. They also carry Udi bread (which is the best bought GF bread I have tried to date).

Planet Organic definitely does and the products are found in the same section as the gluten products. I find PO to be pricier than other places. Have you tried Nutters? I have not been to a Nutters in Edmonton (I live 3 hours away) but our Nutters carries FAR more products than our Superstore, Safeway, etc. I go there the first Tuesday of the month to save 20% which on about $100 worth of flours helps.

[nsstampqueen]

There are no Nutters in Edmonton - the closest is in Leduc which is over 2 hours from where I live just north of Edmonton! Otherwise, you're right they are great! I might just have to stock up when we are in BC as they have a Nutters with a large selection of Bob's products.

I do find PO more expensive than other places I will have to check out Ed's, thanks for the info!

Superstore in Calgary (Deerfoot Meadows) also carries a large selection.

Planet Organic in Calgary carries a wide selection. I assume they'd do the same up there.

Sunterra in Calgary also has a wide selection; there are apparently two Edmonton locations so perhaps one is convenient for you!
