Interesting Pasta for Good Prices?

Quincel

I eat a lot of pasta, and as such I like to have a few different shapes in the cupboard. Everywhere sells cheap (i.e. less than £1.50/kg) spaghetti, penne, fusilli, farfalle, spirali, and conchiglie. I don't find a couple of these (fusilli and conchiglie) as nice personally, but Tesco also sold rigatoni and disci volante (similar to oreccetti) for 53p per 500g so I bought those for variety. They've stopped selling the latter, leaving me with a short-pasta-shaped hole in my life.

Does anyone know of anywhere else, on the high street or online, which sells a wide variety of shapes for what I'd define as a low price? I'm happy to buy in bulk or not, etc. It seems like anything other than these shapes counts as luxury in the UK so the prices rise rapidly.

Many thanks in advance,
Quincel

Not particularly interesting but we much prefer tagliatelle to spaghetti for some dishes. It's 55p for 500g in Tesco which is better value than most supermarkets.
P. S. I need to check out Aldi as they've used tagliatelle in their 'comparative basket' with Tesco poster.

Have you tried in Polish shops? They sell a variety of pasta shapes, some of them contain eggs (not sure if you like it). Prices are generally good

Sainsbury's do a few more unusual varieties - vermicelli and trottole tricolore at 70p for 500g, and the less authentic but quite fun "stars" at 60p for 500g.

Try TK Maxx or homesense they often have different ones.

Aldi often have unusual pastas in their centre aisle. 
Hope OP got something she wanted as pasta may be rationed.
