Tesco Authentic Italian Wholewheat Penne - the price dropped from 89p to 44p a few weeks ago, and went this morning now it's 22p!!

I have about 22 in my cupboard, at that price I bought another 8.

    it's been at 22p in my two local Tescos for a couple of weeks now, although there hasn't been any stock left for most of those two weeks!

    That is the reason why I go early, going again Tuesday morning at 6am before work to get some more.

    Wow, are you really capable of going through 22? I bet you have a big family.

    Just me, I have pasta everyday for dinner, so I figure stock up while it's cheap.

    Was 44p in my local. Did buy a couple of packs though. The value pasta is back down to 17p - I'm sure it was 37p odd a few weeks back - it goes up and down like a yo-yo!
