We love the breads from Trader Joes. Sprouted Wheat, Rye and 7 grain all have 3 net carbs per slice. The cost per loaf is a very affordable $2.19. For us it is well worth the cost of the drive a couple of times a year to stock our freezer. They taste great for BLTs and dunking in eggs.

Sigh… if they can only have outlets in other countries like South Africa it would have been so great!

Jimmy,
I really liked the Nature’s Own low carb bread we ate at Fitcamp! It is not for sale here in Southern California! Bummer huh? I tried Organic bread and oh my God, they should have paid me to eat it! I returned it as it was DISGUSTING! I am in the market for a good low-carb bread as I do eat limited whole grain carbs…no more mac and cheese for me! I am off white flour and sugar and eat other stuff like organic whole corn tortillas and whole grain rice and other natural products. I am currently not going over four servings daily and try to stick to three! I am down fifteen pounds and a full clothing size! I am going to stick with what is working for me. I work at a school and a sandwhich is way better than the cafeteria food! Again, thanks for the information and product option information.
Peace,
Diva

So it’s actually more than $20, rather than more than $19?

I generally avoid bread, but have found that Brownberry has a really good multi-grain carb contolled bread. It’s $3.49 at my local Kroger. It doesn’t have any funky aftertaste, it’s like “real” bread. They also have a whole wheat version, but I personally don’t care for it. I can’t recommend the multi-grain enough.

Thanks Jimmy. Is there a retail store? I occasionally drive from Raleigh to Atlanta for business and pass right through there.

John, yes there is a store there in Anderson, SC…Christine and I have been there before. But it’s mostly an online store. However, if you walked into the store, Elaine would hook you up with what you need.

Initially, I was excited to find out more about this bread. I followed the links, chose the 7 grain bread and the raisin bread.

With Ground shipping, my total for TWO LOAVES of BREAD was over $19.

Are you kidding me?

$10 a loaf?

Not in this lifetime. I’ll do without, thank you.

Sorry buddy! I’m sure it’s because the bread has to be shipped with an ice pack or something. I’ll see what LCC can do.

UPDATE: I just heard from Elaine at Low-Carb Connoisseur about this:

Hey Jimmy,

I can only imagine that they were choosing UPS 2nd Day air shipping for such a cost to come up. Here is an actual order we received for 2 loaves and it reflects a typical ground shipping cost:

7 Grain Cinnamon Raisin Low Carb Bread 5.95
7 Grain Low Carb Bread 5.95
Subtotal 11.90
Shipping 8.71
Tax 0.00
Total 20.61

HOPE THIS HELPS, everyone!
