(15,682 posts)I had to move the pasta box a few times. You'd be surprised at how bare it can look if not arranged properly! Lol.
I usually always have a ton of pasta on hand (more than I had in the "before" pic). The DeCecco is a bit more expensive so I'll have to stock up when it goes on sale.

(2,667 posts)I don't often read gay-issue postings so it didn't occur to me to notice the brand name of the pasta maker. Now that I know I applaud the move.

(15,682 posts)raised a great son!! You must be proud! And what a great idea, giving it to the food bank. I'll have to look into that, myself. (I haven't thrown the Barilla out yet.)

Or the food bank is a good idea too.

(1,233 posts)Most grocery stores will allow returns of boxed and canned goods if they were recently purchased. Tell them you bought the wrong brand.
Maybe we should all do this.....

(15,682 posts)for noticing! I wanted my future rigatoni to feel attractive to the couscous that resides just behind!

(1,587 posts)Is the parent company of your new pasta more forward-thinking? I'm not familiar with that brand, but I don't think it would help if you just substituted one nasty group for another.
My shelves are stocked with the brand Aldi carries. I have no idea of their political/social leanings, but I can't afford to be picky right now. I avoid the assholes whenever possible, though.
And as has already been noted, either eat it, or donate it. Throwing good food away is something that always gets to me and makes me sad.
