Walmart carries a slew of gluten-free brands and even has its own certified gluten-free line of privately labeled gluten-free products. This post about What’s Gluten Free at Walmart was last updated January 2021. This article contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosures.
Walmart is a great place to shop when you’re on a budget – and with its growing gluten-free section – it turns out it’s a great place to shop when you eat gluten free, too. Plus, you can’t beat the prices at Walmart.
Unfortunately, many gluten-free foods cost more. In fact, researchers found that gluten-free foods cost 242 percent more than their gluten-y counterparts!
The reason? Perhaps gluten-free packaged goods use higher quality and more expensive ingredients, and those costs are simply passed on to the consumer.
If you’re looking for ways to save money when you can’t eat gluten, you might want to turn to Walmart for help.

During my last visit to Walmart, I found that Walmart has come a long way in expanding its selection of gluten-free foods. I was also excited to see Walmart has expanded its offerings of organic and sustainable foods.
In fact, I found organic produce and meats, as well as locally sourced fruits and vegetables, at my local Walmart.
Shopping Gluten Free at Walmart
While every Walmart is different, and some locations have more gluten-free foods than others, I have found at least a small section of gluten-free foods.
In my Walmart in Centennial, Colorado, it used to be a very small section, but after a recent visit (June 2019) to Walmart, I couldn’t help but notice that the gluten-free section had easily tripled in size!

To identify the gluten-free section, look for a yellow banner hanging above the section titled, “Gluten Free.” Here’s what it looks like:
Also, you can find additional gluten-free items throughout the store – not just in the gluten-free designated area. Look for yellow shelf tags that indicate specific items are gluten free.
Also be sure to look for a dedicated section of gluten-free foods in the frozen food aisle. In my local Walmart, I found a decent section of gluten-free and paleo frozen foods, including gluten-free frozen pizzas, frozen meals, frozen waffles and more.
Keep in mind that not all gluten-free products have a yellow shelf tag – so you may have to peck through the aisles to find gluten-free items. I suspect that companies have to pay for that yellow tag and not all do.

For example, some cereals, like Cheerios and Chex, which are both labeled “gluten free,” are found in the cereal aisle vs. the dedicated gluten-free aisle. I also noticed that the gluten-free waffles were located with the regular freezer waffles vs in the gluten-free freezer section.
Of course many products are gluten free even if not labeled gluten free, such as peanut butters, canned fruits, etc.
Certified Gluten Free Great Value Products
Walmart’s private-label brand, Great Value, has a handful of “certified gluten-free products.” These products are certified by the GFCO, the leading third-party gluten-free certifying agency.

Certified Gluten-Free Great Value products include:

When you visit Walmart’s dedicated gluten-free site, you can check the store locator to see if these items are available at locations near you.

How to Save Money at Walmart
While you’re already saving money just by shopping at Walmart, I have a few other tips to saving money when you shop.
(1) Stock up on naturally gluten-free foods.
Walmart has added a ton of organic fruits and vegetables, so stock up on these healthy, antioxidant rich foods, all which come at a good price.
Additionally, things like beans and rice are naturally gluten-free and you can get them at a GREAT price at Walmart as well.
I also found organic, sustainable and grass-fed meats are now available at Walmart, so don’t pass up on the opportunity to save by purchasing these responsibly-sourced meats.

(2) Bring those coupons!
Just because you shop for gluten-free foods doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a good coupon or two. Are there brands you love and use often – like Enjoy Life, Bob’s Red Mill and Schar? Check these brands’ websites for coupons – and read my tips for finding AMAZING gluten-free coupons and deals. They really do exist!
(3) Shop private labels.
Walmart’s private label is called “Great Value” and I saw quite a few products labeled either “gluten-free” or didn’t include any gluten ingredients.
Specifically, in the gluten-free section, I spotted a Great Value brand Strogonoff Dinner Kit and Great Value brand Cream of Mushroom Soup, both labeled “gluten free.”
And, as mentioned prior, several Great Value products are “certified gluten free” by the GFCO.
I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more gluten-free Great Value products in the coming years.
(4) Buy frozen produce.
A great way to save money on groceries is to buy frozen vegetables. They are often frozen at the peak of freshness and last longer than fresh produce. If you’re looking to save money, Walmart has a ton of frozen vegetables to choose from, all which come at a great price and last for a long time when frozen.
I hope these tips will help you save even more money when shopping at Walmart – good luck!
