Is there a quality inexpensive store bought pasta?

I've been eating store bought pasta all my life to be frugal. I could get a box of spaghetti or angel hair and eat it for days if I was running low on money. Now I've noticed that the major brands like Mueller in the supermarkets and even the Aldi brand has a different texture. It crumbles up when chewed. I've tried cooking it longer and shorter lengths of time and it always comes out wrong. Even the pasta in the old school macaroni and cheese is crumbly.

Has anyone else who eats a lot of pasta noticed this? And do you know of any brands that are like pasta used to be?
