In this note

The gap on pasta between SPAR own-brand and Barilla at Conad this season. Prices from published flyers.

The same staple. Two stores. A 3× gap.

Pasta. 500g. Two stores. A significant price difference.

SPAR own-brand pasta 500g

59 lekë. Flyer: SPAR, 14–23 April 2026.

SPAR own-brand pasta, 500g, on flyer promotion.

Barilla pasta 500g

199 lekë. Flyer: Conad Albania, 22–31 May 2026.

Barilla, Italian import, 500g. No promotion indicated for this item.

The gap

59 lekë vs 199 lekë. That’s a 3.4× difference on the same staple.

The brands are different — own-brand vs Barilla. Worth noting. But for a household that buys pasta every week, the question is: does the brand difference justify 140 lekë per pack?

What this doesn’t say

These prices are from different weeks (April vs May) and different stores. Direct week-on-week comparison would require both prices to be current. The gap is real but not a direct apples-to-apples comparison this week.
