Dollar General Pasta
SPAM@verizon.net Anthony Diodati
dollar general pasta tonight, and now don't think it's very good.
Kind of like sauce on cardboard?
Do you all think it's OK?
And another thing, I did really like the Wal-Mart brand salad
dressing/sandwich spread, better than Miracle Whip, but now they quit
selling it.Figures, must have heard I liked it.

Compared to Pastene and De Cecco, Barilla isn't very good, either.

DG- not ok, lower quality, smaller boxes, higher prices.
About a year ago KKR acquired them, sucked out the cash
value and left them with nothing but debt. Now, better
known as a Dollar and a Half store.
Our Super Walmart dropped a lot of their GV branded, and old
line east coast companies, like Stauffer’s snacks. Like
other local stores, they sold isles of their shelf space to
Frito-Lay.
Past 6 months, Kroger was beating Super W-M prices. But in
the past two weeks or so, Kroger prices increased about 25%.
They are playing games with their 10 for $10 specials.
Originally, each item rang up as $1, but now ring as regular
price (like $1.39). If you have ten of a specific group of
10 fers, then you get a credit backing them down to $10.
Just avoid those shelf tags that have 4 lines of fine print
under the "10 for $10". ;-)
Our neighborhood stores were Shurfine and topco affiliates
but now offer best-choice and always-save, which has
terrible quality control. After a few random cut corn cans
and pinto bean cans full of water/spice syrup and a teaspoon
of vegetable, we avoid those brands. Also, their stuff is
now one or two decimal place measure like 10.75 oz, 15.5 oz,
11.25 oz.

Really, I have never tried Pastene or De Cecco.
I might have to try it.
Who sells it?
My mother always swore by San-Georgio.

tomatoes too.

Pastene is a Massachusetts-based company; it's possible that you can't
find it outside the NE. De Cecco is an Italian import; most of the
supermarket chains in MA carry it, and I believe it has national
distribution. You can buy it from them online at:
