Default spaghetti sauce price differences

"Richard K." wrote in message ...

I've been wanting Bertolli lately, but Kroger where I normally go charges
$3.29 (at best, $2.69 or $2.99 on sale), but the Wal-Mart grocery sells it
for only $1.98.
(snipped)



AFAIC one jarred sauce is pretty much the same as the next. Bertolli is
good but then again so is a can of Hunt's spaghetti sauce Personally I
like the Paul Newman brand. IME you have to add something to any jarred or
canned sauce to make it test better. Sauteed minced garlic, basil, thyme...

Sure, I could make my own tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes. But I don't own
a sieve or a food mill and I have to avoid the seeds. So I buy the jars or
cans and "tart it up" with herbs and spices.
