Big Bags of 3KG Conchiglie Pasta Shells - Does Anywhere Sell Them?

FusionFury

Does anyone know where to get them? I know they do the Penne 3KG bags and fusilli 3KG but does anywhere do Conchiglie pasta shells 3KG bags?

Thanks :money:

I've noticed that Sainsbury's have 3kg bags of pasta in store, not sure if that includes conchiglie, an online search suggests not.

Tesco do a 1kg bag: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254878516

Amazon.co.uk do them but their price is ridiculous !

£12.38 compared to a 3KG bag of Fusilli in Tesco which is £2.80!

I appreciate Chef Larder might be this big premium brand but for almost a £10 difference it seems a massive increase for basically the same product but in a different shape ! :mad:

Chef Larder is far from a premium brand ! Its Bookers basics brand.

There's an Italian supermarket in Maidenhead.

I thought all pasta was made from the same stuff, just different shapes.

A large part of that price is going to be shipping.
I've found the most cost-effective way t buy pasta is to look at the price per 100g, generally Lidl is competitive. Don't get hung up on the idea large bag is the best buy, frequently it isn't.

It's actually the one just above basic.

Some is made with egg and others not, also colourings from beet and spinach etc. for tricolour (sp?) and of course there is always a premium on exclusivity, so I daresay Fortnums charge a fortune!
