No Name = No Way!

In this day and age of massive price increases at grocery stores, I am seeking less expensive alternatives to name-brand products. Therefore, when purchasing a bag of NoName Spaghetti, I thought, "How big of a difference can there be?"

Boy, was I wrong! There IS a big difference in the quality, taste, and texture! I like my pasta al denté. I cooked it for the minimum time suggested, and it turned out mushy. I thought perhaps it was due to being added to a sauce that I hadn't reduced to thicken. Nope. I cooked another batch last night, for 8 minutes, and ... spongey, gluey goop. It went in the garbage. There are no savings in buying this lower-quality product if it's barely edible and is thrown in the trash.
