Prego. It's handy to have, like a pantry item.
Question: Once a jar is opened, what is its refrigerated shelf life?
I am not sure. I just screw on the lid and put it in the freezer until I need it.

I wonder if the sweet thing is a regional taste. I love sweet spaghetti sauce. Most of the Italian restaurants I've eaten at around here all have sweet sauces, including the restaurants in a section we call "Little Italy". Some serve a sweeter than others though. Interesting.
it most definitely is. i used to date a girl who worked for cpc/best foods international and they made no secret of the fact that they sold upwards of 3 or 4 flavours of the exact same product, such as tomato sauces and mayonaises, each tailored to the taste test of a region. but the labels looked exactly the same.
it sounded weird, but the biggest dividing line for different formulas was the mississippi river. if you lived in illinois, for instance, you'd get sweeter mayo. in iowa, slightly.spicier.
they taste tested constantly so as to maximize sales.
I am not sure. I just screw on the lid and put it in the freezer until I need it.
I never thought of that! Thanks!
msmofet said:Shop-Rite 15 oz can of PLAIN tomato sauce is just tomato so I add whatever to it. On sale 3 cans for $1.00. I can get 1 sometimes 2 dinners (depending what I add to it) for 4 people out of 1 doctored 15 oz can. Not bad for 33 cents a can. Or regular price is 67 cents still not bad.
yes store brandIs Shop-Rite a specific store brand, MM? I haven't seen it around here.
I also never buy jarred sauce anymore. A quick Marinara sauce from canned tomatoes is just too easy to make, and I can be sure it won't be sweet and have the blend of spices I like. As someone else said, why buy expensive jar sauce, and then have to doctor it up to make it the way you like it?
