Asda smart price pasta

Posts: 843 Forumite
Just bought 500g of asda smart price pasta (penne) for 9p per bag! So ended up with 5kg for 90p...bargain!
I bought this for the first time last month and the family haven't noticed the change
Forgot to say it is usually 20p per 500g bag and was reduced to 18p a couple of weeks ago, so 9p is a bargain!

I've started buying this and it's just as good as the expensive ones. I do cook it for slightly less time than it says on the packet.0

Me too, woohoo!! They have also reduced their smart price pasta sauce to 18p, is a bit thin for me so I usually add a little tomato puree and my usual onion, garlic and mushrooms. Have enough to last me a few months:rotfl:Haters are gonna hate - you're not obliged to participate0

:DHa ha yes I also bought the 18p bol sauce today. It was cheaper than the tinned toms. I added tom puree, worc sauce, herbs and water and added it to a pepper, an onion, some mushrooms, a carrot and a courgette. The family all commented on how lovely it tasted with the pasta!!!:D0

wow that a good price. i only like twists ( no idea why) and morrisons seems to be the only store which does value pasta twist. it was 20p a bag last week. be fab if even lower, our famiyl eats so much pasta, it is prefered over potatos and rice. my boys are pasta and grated cheese crazy,lol.0

Bought 5 packs today (the last 5 :rotfl:) Normally buy this anyway and the last time I did it was about 40p.
I wonder if Asda are discontinuing this line because it no longer shows online (not OOS, just gone)0 -
It is online.
Just search for ASDA Smartprice Pasta Shapes0 -
Thank you for posting this. The price of both the pasta and the sauce are fab, shall be taking a trip to the local asda tonight! Like BusyGirl said you can add stuff to the sauce to make some lovely cheap meals!0

I probably wouldn't bother with the sauce personally, better quality sauce (or home made) makes for a much better meal, but the pasta is fine.0

Bought 10 packs on Friday, hope to get some more this week as this is such a cheap price. It makes 3kg 54p, cant remember pasta ever being that cheap. The good old days (couple of years ago) 3kg bags were £1!!“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0
