Gluten Free can be very expensive. To keep costs down I try to only buy things as I need them. But when my staples go on sale I try to stock up.
My favorite gluten free flours are rice, tapioca, sorghum and almond.
Rice is cheap and a good filler flour. The texture is what really gives away that it is gf.
Tapioca isn't very expensive either and it gives a glue-like texture. We go through it super fast because of the Brazilian cheese rolls!
Sorghum tastes like wheat but is a little more gritty. Really good for a "whole-grain" effect.
Almond is really good. I love the taste and creaminess it brings but you have to be careful because it is really dense. Also pretty expensive. I love using it in cupcakes, muffins and banana bread.
Xanthan gum is a must for any gf household. It is not cheap, but it will last a long time and make a huge difference in your baking.
I use gf oats in cookies and muffins a lot. It's another good filler that is more familiar.
