I meant to link in my original comment, but here is the listing I was referring to, straight from Maruchan. The price has actually gone up since my first comment. I think it was 14.98 before.

Also, I did the math on the price you're quoting from Sam's Club for bulk. It works out to about 88 cent a pound, which is still not substantially cheaper than the regular pasta I buy for $1 in a unit of one pound. I'm sure if I shopped at a bulk grocer, pasta would turn out even cheaper than $1 per pound.

You can buy a 24 pack of Ramen for 13 bucks, and man that stuff is like gold.

Thanks for holding the giveaway!
