We talked about gluten-free quinoa pasta prices before, and have an interesting update. The product we’re talking about is the Ancient Harvest Quinoa Elbow Noodles.
An 8 ounce box of quinoa pasta elbows at New Seasons currently costs $2.78 (or $0.349/oz.) You can buy it in bulk at New Seasons for $0.26/oz (which is equivalent to $2.08/box.)
Save money, save packaging, and eat delicious gluten-free pasta! Did we mention that we really love this pasta? It’s more delicious and cooks up better than rice pasta, which is easy to overcook.
P.S. Avoid even more extra packaging by bringing your own bulk containers to New Seasons. When you first arrive, just take your empty containers to one of the cash registers and they will weigh them for you and write the weight on the container.

The only problem with the bulk section is the potential contamination with wheat or gluten-containing products. For someone who is truly intolerant of gluten, this might not be a viable option, even though it is more cost effective and environmentally friendly.
