thanks so much kimberlee! that does help…where do you find the best deals on your rice pasta? whole foods isn’t too bad (if they have a sale and i can match it w/a store coupon & a manufacturers…) but, can’t always get that lucky….walmart is starting to sell it…but, there again, there’s isn’t always so cheap
I think the best idea is to stock up when it’s on sale and buy enough to last a while. If it’s not on sale and we run out I try not to buy it. I have purchased it at Publix but haven’t found it at the Walmart in my area.
