Introduction: The Cheapest Recipe Is Tomato Campofilone Pasta at $5.70 Per Serving

The cheapest dinner in this New Brunswick recipe costing is Tomato Campofilone Pasta at $5.70 per serving, based on a $22.78 Costco ingredient basket using Deci’Ova Pasta Di Campofilone Pasta at $14.79 and Kumato Tomato at $7.99. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. If you want a simple pasta dinner built from the lowest-priced combination in the available New Brunswick basket, you would leave out the garlic and focus your spending on the pasta and tomatoes.

The full Pasta with Tomato Sauce recipe costs $34.17 for four servings, or $8.54 per serving, when you include pasta, Kumato Tomato, and garlic from Costco. That version gives you a more complete sauce base, but it also raises your total basket by $11.39 because garlic is the third priced ingredient in the recipe. If you are shopping on a tighter budget, your practical choice is whether the extra flavour from garlic is worth moving from $5.70 per serving to $8.54 per serving.

For New Brunswick households, the key takeaway is that a pasta-based dinner can be priced very clearly when you compare the recipe by ingredient rather than by vague meal labels. In this article, you will see the full Costco recipe basket, two lower-cost variations derived from the same tracked ingredients, and a side-by-side table showing how each option compares. The active grocery banners in New Brunswick include Atlantic Superstore, Costco, Foodland, IGA, No Frills, Sobeys, Walmart, Your Independent Grocer, RASS, and Wholesale Club, but the priced recipe data in this costing is tied to Costco.

Recipe 1: Pasta with Tomato Sauce — $8.54 Per Serving

Pasta with Tomato Sauce costs $34.17 total at Costco in New Brunswick, which works out to $8.54 per serving for four servings. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. This is the complete recipe basket provided for June 2026, and it is the best option in this guide if you want the fullest flavour profile from the priced ingredients rather than the absolute lowest cost.

This recipe uses three ingredients: Deci’Ova Pasta Di Campofilone Pasta, Kumato Tomato, and garlic. The pasta accounts for $14.79 of the basket, the tomato adds $7.99, and the garlic adds $11.39. When you add those three prices together, your total is $34.17, matching the tracked recipe cost. Dividing that total by four servings gives you $8.54 per serving after rounding to the nearest cent.

You should consider this version when your priority is a simple dinner that still has the classic foundation of a tomato sauce: pasta for the base, tomato for acidity and body, and garlic for savoury depth. At $8.54 per serving, it still fits within a “cheap dinner recipes under $9” search, but it is the most expensive of the three options in this article. Your main budget decision is whether to pay for the garlic as part of the full sauce or use one of the pared-down versions below.

The ingredient mix shows why this recipe is straightforward to budget. Your largest line item is the pasta at $14.79, followed by garlic at $11.39 and Kumato Tomato at $7.99. The garlic is not the highest-priced item, but it is the ingredient that separates the full $8.54-per-serving recipe from the cheaper tomato-only version. If you are stretching your weekly grocery budget, you can decide before shopping whether that $11.39 ingredient belongs in your basket.

Where to Buy Cheapest

Costco is the cheapest identified store for the full Pasta with Tomato Sauce recipe in the New Brunswick data, with the basket priced at $34.17. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. If you are already shopping at Costco, you can keep the full dinner in one stop rather than splitting the basket across multiple banners.

Because the available recipe data prices all three ingredients at Costco, your most reliable buying plan is to treat Costco as the benchmark store for this meal. You can still compare against Atlantic Superstore, No Frills, Sobeys, Walmart, Foodland, IGA, Your Independent Grocer, RASS, and Wholesale Club before you buy, especially if you are already visiting those banners for other items. However, for this specific June 2026 recipe costing, the confirmed ingredient prices are the Costco prices shown above.

Recipe 2: Tomato Campofilone Pasta — $5.70 Per Serving

Tomato Campofilone Pasta costs $22.78 total at Costco in New Brunswick, or $5.70 per serving when you use the priced pasta and tomato ingredients only. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. This is the cheapest recipe in the article because it removes the $11.39 garlic line item while keeping the pasta and tomato base.

This version is best if your goal is to build one of the cheapest recipes possible from the provided New Brunswick ingredient prices. You still get a pasta dinner with a tomato component, but you avoid the full $34.17 basket cost of Recipe 1. Compared with the full Pasta with Tomato Sauce recipe, this version is $11.39 cheaper in total and 33.3% lower based on the recipe basket cost.

You should choose this recipe when you want a lower-cost dinner and are comfortable with a simpler sauce. The cost per serving is $5.70, which is $2.84 less per serving than the full $8.54 version when rounded serving costs are compared. For a four-serving meal, that difference matters because it can help you keep a pasta dinner comfortably below the $6-per-serving mark.

The arithmetic is simple and useful for meal planning. The $14.79 pasta plus the $7.99 Kumato Tomato equals $22.78. Divided across four servings, that gives you $5.695 per serving, which rounds to $5.70. If you are comparing budget meals in New Brunswick, this is the lowest-cost dinner in the set because it uses only the two lower-cost components required for a tomato pasta base.

Where to Buy Cheapest

Costco is the cheapest identified store for Tomato Campofilone Pasta in this New Brunswick recipe costing, with the two-ingredient basket priced at $22.78. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. If you want the lowest-cost version in this guide, your shopping list is limited to the $14.79 pasta and the $7.99 Kumato Tomato.

This is the strongest option if you are trying to reduce your dinner cost without changing the meal format entirely. You are still buying pasta and tomato, so the dinner remains recognizable as a pasta-based meal. Your savings come from narrowing the basket, not from substituting an unpriced ingredient or relying on an assumed sale. That makes the $5.70-per-serving estimate cleaner and easier to use.

Recipe 3: Garlic Campofilone Pasta — $6.55 Per Serving

Garlic Campofilone Pasta costs $26.18 total at Costco in New Brunswick, or $6.55 per serving for four servings. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. This version uses the $14.79 Deci’Ova Pasta Di Campofilone Pasta and the $11.39 garlic, making it cheaper than the full tomato-and-garlic recipe but more expensive than the tomato-only version.

This recipe is useful if you want a savoury pasta dinner and are willing to skip the tomato component. It comes in at $7.99 less than the full $34.17 recipe because the Kumato Tomato is removed from the basket. On a total basket basis, that makes this version 23.4% cheaper than the complete Pasta with Tomato Sauce recipe.

You should pick this option when garlic is more important to your flavour preference than tomato. At $6.55 per serving, it remains a budget-conscious dinner compared with the $8.54 full recipe, but it does not beat the $5.70 Tomato Campofilone Pasta. In practical grocery terms, your choice is whether you value the $11.39 garlic more than the $7.99 Kumato Tomato when building a low-cost pasta meal.

The total comes from adding the $14.79 pasta to the $11.39 garlic, giving you $26.18. Dividing that by four servings produces $6.545 per serving, which rounds to $6.55. This recipe sits in the middle of the three options: it is $3.40 more expensive than the tomato-only version and $7.99 cheaper than the full recipe basket.

This option is also a useful example of how you can control meal cost by choosing which flavour component to keep. If you keep garlic and drop tomato, your cost is $6.55 per serving. If you keep tomato and drop garlic, your cost falls to $5.70 per serving. That $0.85-per-serving difference is small enough that your flavour preference may matter more than the price difference, but the tomato version is still the lowest-cost choice.

New Brunswick Recipe Basket Index

The New Brunswick recipe basket index shows Costco as the confirmed store for all priced ingredients, with individual ingredient prices ranging from $7.99 for Kumato Tomato to $14.79 for Deci’Ova Pasta Di Campofilone Pasta.

This index helps you make a clear grocery decision before you shop. If you want the lowest-cost dinner, you use the Pasta + Tomato basket at $22.78. If you want the most complete sauce base, you use the full Pasta + Tomato + Garlic basket at $34.17. If you prefer garlic over tomato, you use the Pasta + Garlic basket at $26.18.

The table also shows that the recipe cost is driven more by basket design than by complicated cooking choices. The pasta is required in every dinner, so your real cost decision is whether to add tomato, garlic, or both. For budget meals in New Brunswick, that kind of ingredient-level comparison is more useful than simply labelling a recipe “cheap” without showing the actual prices.

Current Price Highlights for the Costco Pasta Dinner Basket

The strongest current price highlight in this New Brunswick costing is the $5.70-per-serving Tomato Campofilone Pasta variation, built from $14.79 pasta and $7.99 Kumato Tomato at Costco.

Since the available data provides current tracked prices rather than separate regular prices, the table below focuses on verified basket costs instead of unsupported promotional savings.

For your shopping list, the most important comparison is between the three complete dinner options. Tomato Campofilone Pasta costs $22.78 total, Garlic Campofilone Pasta costs $26.18 total, and the full Pasta with Tomato Sauce costs $34.17 total. That means your cheapest complete dinner is the tomato-only pasta basket, while your most expensive option is the full basket with both tomato and garlic.

This table also keeps the savings math honest. There is no separate regular price field in the provided New Brunswick recipe data, so a promotional discount percentage should not be invented. Instead, you can compare real current basket costs and choose the version that fits your dinner budget.

Price Comparison Table: All Recipes Side by Side

The cheapest recipe is the tomato-only version because it uses the $14.79 pasta and the $7.99 tomato while omitting the $11.39 garlic. The middle option is the garlic-only pasta at $6.55 per serving. The highest-cost option is the full recipe at $8.54 per serving, but it is also the most complete basket because it includes all three priced ingredients.

Your lowest-cost dinner stays under $6 per serving, your mid-range version stays under $7 per serving, and your full pasta dinner stays under $9 per serving. That makes all three useful for searches such as cheap dinner recipes under $9, budget meals New Brunswick, and cheapest recipes using pasta.
