Welcome back to our College Gift Guide. Here, we physically review various items that may make good gifts for students going off to college (or buy these for yourself!). This isn’t a promotional guide – we really handle the items and try them out in real situations. Our final verdict is to help you decide. Maybe you’ll get some good ideas from this listing. Let’s continue…
Item: Pastene Campus Survival Kit.
Our Verdict: Highly Recommended.
One of the favorite items we’ve ever received here at Campus News for our gift guide is this – the Pastene Campus Survival Kit.
The one thing I learned in college, outside the classroom, anyway, is how to cook Italian food, and I learned early on that the pasta from a company like Pastene is usually $1 or so more than the budget brands, but totally worth it. When buying the better pasta, there’s less texture problems and less of a racy after feeling because of the better ingredients used in better pastas.
So, for only $24.99 (and get 10% more off if you use the code “campusnews” through the holidays), you can have the following sent to that special someone.
The box contains:
* Basil Pesto 4.76 oz
* Grated Parmesan Cheese 6 oz
* Bucatini 1 lb
* Spaghetti 1 lb
* Rigatoni 1lb
* Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies 10 oz
* Pizza Sauce 15 oz
* Tomato Basil Sauce 24.5 oz
* Tonno 3 oz
A lot of this stuff you can cook in a dorm with a hot plate and toaster over. What you don’t like, donate to the campus food pantry – or give to that weird guy up the hall who “will eat anything.”
It’s still a great deal, even if you don’t use everything here. Pick up some ricotta and mozzarella and turn that rigatoni into a baked dish. Get some English muffins and mozzarella and use the pizza sauce to make mini pizzas. The grated parmesan can add to any meal.
This is shipped by FedEx, so it will arrive quickly. That adds a bit to the price, but, even so, we’re still talking only about $4 per item if you use the promo code. And it comes in a classy, well-packed box worthy of gifting.
