Aldi has bronze extruded pasta like spaghetti, linguine and fettuccine for $2 a pound. That is a fraction of the normal price. They are in thicker plastic packaging. I know you hate that but it’s less likely to let pantry months in. So you don’t need to put it in another container like you do when it comes in cardboard packaging.

They have Teflon extruded pastas for a dollar a pound in cardboard. I split those into weighed out 8 ounce portions in mason jars to prevent pantry moths and 8 oz is 4 oz per person for a decent portion size in a meal. This way when it’s time to cook I just have to grab a jar and not measure anything out.
