cheapest plastic-free pasta?

Hi,

The best I've found is essential Waitrose, but it's 3 miles away which isn't great. Has anyone done a price comparison and guide me to what you've found?

Happy to buy in bulk.

Many thanks.

    Barilla pasta shapes (not sure about spaghetti/ linguine etc) come in a cardboard box without plastic, but they're not the absolute cheapest.

    I would say make your own, flour comes in paper sacks as a rule.
