[tueurkate]

They were $1.49 at the Denman locations. No coupons (that I could see).

WW pasta is an "acquired taste" kind of thing. I didn't like it as much as "reg" pasta, but it grew on me to the point I now prefer it. Same thing with natural peanut butter, grew on me to where I prefer it.

Couldn't find any at the Lawrence and Victoria Park location last night.

I just returned from NF and saw lots of the pasta on a skid, when I read the $1.00 off coupon it was for "Grains First Crackers" not the pasta. Therefore this deal is not available at all locations. This skid of pasta not drawing any attention and when I asked the cashier about it, she wasn't familiar with another type of coupon for $1.00 off of 375 G Whole Wheat Catella Pasta.

I saw a coupon only on the penne whole wheat pasta at the Port Credit store. On the back, it says it's for egg white whole wheat pasta. Maybe if the cashier doesnt read it carefully, they will ring it in.

The $1.00 coupon that was on the pasta box has a picture of a box of Grains First Cookie, with the wording Crackers in large print so I don't see how the cashier will miss it. Also, if I were a cashier and the amount on the register came to basically $0.00, I believe I would recheck the coupon. Wouldn't you?

Just got back from my NF, only the boxes without the coupon are on the shelf.

[anom]

Got this dt toronto (Parliament location), coupons were only on the WW spaghetti and penne.

I mentioned this to a friend and he told me he coulf of sworn he heard on the news that some of the pasta was recalled due to some sort of issue with tainted wheat. He is seeing if he can find out the size or UPC so we can check if this is the pasta in question.

[superdave]

You're absolutely right, it's not that good, HOWEVER, having said that, I'll tell you how I got used to it. I started my first meal and didn't really like it, so next time, I made 25% whole wheat, and 75% white, the next time, I made it about 33% whole wheat and 67% white, now I eat it 50-50. I still don't like it much, but it's a little healthier, I find it much more filling, so I eat less and it's also a little healthier. It also helps offset some of the cost difference, eating healthy is expensive!

The best way to offset the taste is to mix 50% whole wheat pasta with 50% bacon fat smothered in cheese and simmered in beer. Then everything will taste just fine

I nearly puked, but lol'd @ the same time.

thanks OP, got the last 25 packs of pasta yesterday in oshawa.

the cashier had to ring in the coupon at 99 cents, cause she said they can't give me money.

I just did some research and can confirm Kalel's post...I suggest returning all you bought right away unless you want food poisoning...I guess thats what you get for being paid to eat pasta ....here is what I found:
