Ever since I read that you love Robbins Cherries Jubilee, it just seems to taste better even though it was a usual choice at the Robbins shop. I’m so happy to now just get it at Safeway.

it sure looks that way but it’s not like each of us eats every line item.

I don’t crave fresh pasta, so the higher price doesn’t entice me to eat it.
bucatini is rare so it tends to be more expensive as a dry pasta.
penne is perennially on sale and the lowest pasta price point (with spaghetti and fusilli).

so it makes more sense that we have 3 different pastas because why should others eat pastas that they don’t want at higher costs? And there’s no reason for us all to eat penne.
