Large bags of pasta

Can anyone tell me which supermarket sells the biggest bag of pasta for the best price? Tesco do a 5kg bag of fusilli for £2.95. Is there a better deal than that?

    asda do a 3kg bag for £1.68 which works out as 56p a kg compared to tescos 59 a kg just pennys in it,you can buy smartprice at 38p a kg which will give you a 5kg bag for £1.90 which saves 90p buy a small 500g bag for 19p might be okay

    Hmm I find smartprice or value pasta goes soggy very quickly. Do you know anything about Aldi or Lidl pasta and their prices?

    Lidl do a bag about this [ ] big (I'm moving my arms around to show you ;D ) for 75 or 79p.

    I think it's about a 2kg bag but they only do fusilli, I think it's nicer than the smartprice pasta.
    When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt ;)
  • Co-op are doing a bogof on pasta at the moment. I find Morrisons usually do a lot of bogofs on it as well and I usually fill my boots ;D as its cheaper to get them like that than at the cash and carry.
