Anyone in the Central Texas area find a place to buy all the different low carb foods, breads, flours, etc. I know Superwalmart has the carb bowls, but where do you buy the rest of the stuff....I live in Austin, so am looking for some where close to me I can buy this stuff.

We found a bunch of stuff at Central Market here in the DFW area. I believe there's at least one of those in Austin, isn't there? The interesting thing was that it wasn't all grouped together in a special section (though there was also an LC section), but mostly on the shelves with the regular stuff.

Good luck!

Hey Carolyn! I'm in Austin too, and Vicki(I forgot her exact registered name) is here too. I think there are a couple others as well. I got some stuff at the Central market South, and Vicki went to the one on Lamar. HEB is pretty worthless for LC stuff, and I don't know about anyone else. Good luck!

We are opening a low carb store in early October in Austin. It's called the Carb Free Shop at 8440 Burnet Road between Steck and 183. You can call 420-0700 for more details.

Thanks
Connie

Do you guys have Drug Emporium? The health food department of our store has the best LC selection in town.

Howdy,

I live in NW Austin and I found that the Randalls at Lake Line Blvd and Cypress Creek Rd has an extensive line of Low Carb products!

50 miles is a long way to drive..... Our Drug Emp. has a health food section called "Vitamins Plus". The have all the Atkins products, Whey products, tortillas, a bread that can be unfolded and used as Pizza crust, frozen cheesecake, the syrups, flours, cereals, almond butter, candy and replacement bars, etc. I would definitely call ahead and see if your store carries the same products before making the drive.

Carolyn,

Thanks for coming by to see our store. I'm almost positive were opening sometime between October 1-4th (fingers crossed). I think you'll like the store alot. We'll have prepackaged gourmet meals, bakery items, and of course lots of low carb stuff. I'm not sure how to email you or I would. Can you call the store 420-0700 and leave your number so that I can call you when we're about to open? Thanks again! I look forward to meeting you.

Connie

Connie,

I went Slick Willie's where I saw your sign, but I couldn't find the store. Can you tell me what store is it by?

Thanks!
