    It was 9p in my tesco the other week, bought some for the kids to try, they weren't keen...said it was too starchy and left my daughter really bloated. Will stick with own brand normal pasta
  • Some peoples pasta stockpile makes me feel better (worse?) about mine... a mere 3kgs of the stuff! Some was free, some given from my mum :) Bless her.

    Still, if it drops to the 9p end of the scale when I have cash (i.e. after student loans), I think I'll blow a fiver or so and stockpile us!
    If a fivers worth (around 27.5kg @ 9p per 500g pack) counts as a stockpile I wonder what the word to describe the amount of pasta I have is. I'm not sure exactly how much I have at the moment but the overall weight is definitely a 3 digit number if rounded off to the nearest kg.

    Wow, we should start some sort or spread betting on the price of pasta.

    We could make some (durum) dough or serious wedge (of parmesan).

    Apologies for the poor gags.

    Seriously I find that value spaghetti and lasagne are good, but penne can be a bit thick.
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)
  • Morrisons basic pasta twists sometimes come down to 18p. In my opinion they taste fine, after all you usually smother pasta with sauce and seasoning !!
  • Smart Price spaghetti is great - I have been buying it for a while now after trying it one week and realising it's no different to the more expensive 'Chosen by You' spaghetti.

    No Morrisons in Northern Ireland!:p
  • when Morrisons had it at 9p a packet I bought about a dozen packets for my DD she has four hollow-legged boys to fill and they wolfed it down.I don't eat a great deal myself perhaps as I prefer lasange to spaghetti or penne.I just buy what ever lasagne sheets are on offer as once its covered in sauce and meat or veg it all tastes the same to me
