Walden Farms Low Carb Salad Dressing is now at Shaw's and Stop & Shop. It is in the refrigerated section near the lettuce. (It says it is no carb, no calories and no fat... well, what is in the thing then?) I bought the Ranch to try.
The Middle East Pita Pockets are near the deli section in Market Basket. These things look just like regular whole wheat pitas! They aren't wraps. I'll try them this weekend...
I tried to get the Snapple a Day Low Carb, but Stop & Shop only had the sugar laden version. Oh well. The grocery manager was apologetic. (His wife does Weight Watchers and he doesn't understand this low carb thing at all.) I did meet a diabetic in Stop & Shop. I got him to try the Carb Countdown chocolate milk. I suggested that he heat it up to make some killer hot cocoa! I hope he likes it!
I did buy the Lower Carb cookies at Stop & Shop. These are NOT baked by Stop & Shop, but they are in their no sugar/low sugar area. They also have pies. You can tell that this area is in flux because some labels don't have sugar alchohol versus sugar. They do have stickers that say net 2g of carbs or some such though. I bought 20 cookies for 10 dollars. I'm going to put them in the big low carb cookie battle, but I ran out of one brand and I have to buy it before I have the battle.
Stop & Shop also has Atkins bread (not the Arnold Atkins bread) in their bakery section.
I had to run to Shaws to get more plain Sensible bagels for my daughter. I checked out their bakery. They have no sugar versions of some things, but I didn't buy any of it because it doesn't say net carbs and I think their stuff is still catering to the diabetics and not the low carb dieters.
Shaws has the Atkins bread and Ezekial Low Carb bread in their freezer section.
Oh yes, Market Basket still doesn't have Carb Countdown. Shaw's has Carb Countdown for $2.99 regular price; Stop & Shop has it for $3.19 regular price.
Shaws doesn't have the Carb Options line in yet either. The spaces are still there in the barbecue section though!
And when oh when are they going to get a good low carb cheesecake that you can buy at the store? Market Basket carries Alden Merrell.. this is a natural!
I manage a Vitamin section and we carry Low Carb Creation's cheesecakes which are fabulous! They come in Chocolate, Blueberry, and Pumpkin Swirl, also New York and Key Lime, all are super. We get ours from Tree of Life a distributor.

Laurie,
Is your store in Massachusetts? (I'm hoping!)

Why has market basket, shaws and hannaford stopped selling Josephs oat bran low carb pitas! Many friends along with myself have been searching for them everywhere and no one sells them. We have 3 market baskets within 5 miles of us and not one of them has them. BRING THEM BACK!!
