In need of some pasta for your food storage? There is a massive sale going on right now in Lehi. Inside a not-yet-opened restaurant near Hutch’s Furniture (95 W. Main Street), an individual is selling to the public boxes of pasta he has acquired in a bulk sale.
Here’s the scoop: all types of pasta are 75 cents per pound. (Contrasted to average bulk prices of $1.50 to $3.00 per pound, depending on the type of pasta). If you buy 10 or more boxes (boxes are between 20-40 pounds), it goes down to 65 cents per pound.
The types of pasta available are:
- Organic elbow
- Egg noodle
- Stars
- Linguini
- Flat noodle
- Acini de pepe
- Medium shell
- Casserole lasagna
- Orzo
- Riccioli
- Ditalini
- Organic alphabet
- Rotini
Sale hours are 1-7pm M-F, 10am-3pm on Saturday. Before you go, it would be wise to call the guy running the sale, Steve, at 404-7785 and make sure he still has what you’re looking to buy. He’s expecting another shipment early next week (and still had well over 50 boxes of pasta when I was there last night), so your chances for stocking up on what you want are good.
Buona fortuna!
Did you pick some up? Do you know the brand? Any idea what the expiration date is?

I bought two boxes. One was manufactured in 04/08, the other in 12/08. The brand (from what I can tell) is called “Italian Chef”.
Pasta should last 3-5 years when stored in a cool, dry environment. Putting it a #10 can w/ an oxygen absorber should extend its shelf life, and that’s what I plan doing next time I can get my hands on a machine from the cannery.
