Default LOWCARB Bread Mix from Villages Pizza in Thrifty's on Vanc. Island

Hiya,
I was exstatic yesterday while shopping in Thrifty's in Colwood.
They were just opening boxes of LOWCARB Bread Mix from Villages Pizza and also LOWBARB Pizza Mix. 1 kg of the Pizza Flour Mix was under $7 and the Bread Mix was [Sorry I think ~ 2.5kg] and it was under $15. It is pricey but not to bad I think. Am just guessing but should make ~ 10 loaves. Oh yes the Bread mix one can be used in Bread machines just need to add the water, yeast etc. The Pizza one said just to add to your regular Pizza dough recipe instead of the flour. I did purchase the Pizza one but cannot try it for a few days anyway. I did not get the bread one as I am still working on a 10LB box i picked up in Calgary form Lakeview Bakery. It was $25 for 10lbs whick is supposed to be enought to make 20 loaves. Great deal great bread for you Cowtowners.OK Back to the Thriftys...talked to an employee he said they are really trying to get local suppliers of LC stuff and said they were really close to LC tortilla shells.
Also they make their own LC bread on Wednesdays...haven't tried that yet. i requested LC hamburger buns
KUDOS to Villages Pizza for making this available to us.
Ok thats it for my good news.
Take care Y'all
Jan

Son's Milling is putting together these packages based on the Villages 'formula'.

Also available at Lifestyle Markets, and any other store that wants to order it is from Son's Milling (they do lots of bulk packaging for the entire Island). Please do suggest they get it in at your local grocery or health food store.

PS: contains soy and gluten, for those who need to know this stuff.

I gave the fellow at Low Carb grocer a call to let him know it is available. I hope he gets it in. I told him I would get it from him if he does. Gotta support these little guys being a small business owner myself I know what its like. I will advise the couple health food stores I go to as well. Hoe this Sons milling brings out some of the other flours WPI etc.

Give them a call. I am certain they will try to get it in if they know it is available.
Good Luck
