Canadians Buying Bread Machines

I've decided to buy a Zojirushi bread machine after spending a couple of months reading about different bread machines on the market and getting input from other celiacs.

I've done some comparison shopping this week and am passing the info along to others. Americans can get some better deals because some stores do not ship to Canada (eg. amazon .com has good prices but won't ship appliances to Canada). Other companies may charge very high prices for shipping to Canada (as much as $75 USD in some cases).

I'll list some of the sites I've found below. I do not have any connection to these companies or vendors and am not endorsing them in any way... just passing along what I found. Also, I have never purchased from any of these companies in the past, so I can't provide any information about the reliability of the companies.

The following price comparisons are all for the Zojirushi BBCC-X20 Home Bakery Supreme™ Bread Maker- all new models (since used could be contaminated with gluten of course :o) ).

(1) E-Bay Store: BigBuyCity

Open Original Shared Link

Price: $144.95 USD

Shipping & Handling $44.95 USD + Shipping Insurance $4.95 USD

(2) Kodiac Health

Open Original Shared Link

Price: $199.95 USD

$15 USD shipping to Canada (limited time offer)

(3) Galtak Houseware Ltd (located in Canada)

Open Original Shared Link

Price: $270 CAD

Free shipping to some parts of Canada- but there is a shipping surcharge to some postal codes which varies from $12 to $72 CAD.

PST charged to residents of Ontario.

(4) CityChef.ca Kitchenware

Price: $275.00 CAD

Free shipping within Canada (with some restrictions depending on geographic area- see website for more info).

(5) Golda's Kitchen - Kitchenware for Canadians

Open Original Shared Link

Price: $290 CAD

Shipping ????

Hope this helps any fellow Canadians who are planning to buy a Zojirushi for themselves.

I have a suggestion for you - I, too, live in Canada and close to the border (but in Niagara). Do you have any friends in Michigan area? Sometimes I ship things to a Buffalo friend from Amazon.

Thanks for the suggestion.... but we don't know anyone in Michigan near the Canadian border.

I went ahead and ordered one from BigBuyCity for $194.85 USD including shipping and insurance. Also, when I contacted them to ask about shipping costs, they offered to ship it by USPS air to save me $$$ on customs.

BTW... for anyone who does have friends in the states that they can ship things to- there are good prices from NewEgg.com as well as from amazon .com, plus the shipping charge from BigBuyCity is less if shipping to the states instead of Canada (they had 2 Zoji's remaining on their ebay store this week).

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
