See if I can help out a little bit.

Nilly is quite correct

Most low-carb speciality foods are quite expensive. I find that sticking to whole foods, buying meat and fish in quantity when on sale and freezing it and only getting a few low-carb products to round things out is the cheapest way to go.

Costco in Langford has Atkins Ketchup [2 pack] for $5 something.
Atkins Brownie mix 2 pack. Sorry not sure here but I think maybe $8 something.
Talking Rain Carbonated and Not Carbonated $17 something for 24
Genisoy crunch bars and another new type of LC bar
Think that was it for Costco.
Now the Health food store At Colwood Corners has a bunch of new bars
I think the Maltitol [maybe Xylitol] sugar crystals ~ $8 smallish bag.
LaTortilla Wraps $5 something
Thriftys is getting some stuff in They are stocking Villages Low carb bread mixes and pizza mixes. They have the Atkins muffin mixes too expensive tho. I make my own. They make LC bread on Wednesdays and it goes fast. They do sell other brands tho. Make sure you read your labels well as most of the bread is not safe...for sure try to keep it at minimal quantities.
Good Luck and try to stay away from the Packaged stuff...its not as good as it seems.
