Chicken and noodles are a college staple. When living gluten free, many people think they can no longer have this common meal. Gluten free noodles are not as cheap as the typical college noodle packs at a quarter a piece. Some brands of rice and corn noodles are more on par with the price of wheat noodles. Boxes that used to be four for one dollar are now a dollar a piece, and some corn noodles packs are less than two dollars a piece. At that rate, in few years, prices for gluten filled, and gluten free will be equal.
