Do You Use Prepared Jar Sauces To Make Main Dishes?

I'll use jarred items if they are given to me, but mostly make my own sauces. I like knowing there isn't a lot of added crap that probably isn't even healthy...and making my own means making it my way. :)

I do but I go online and explore because I don't like supermarket stuff anyways, it's more like [b][c=1F5E00]soylent green[/c][/b] type stuff. Personally, I like to enter different search terms and see what I find. There's things like etsy and then a few other similar sites, even Amazon has cool stuff if you search for it.

Then there's specialty online stores.

Here's a few examples of what I like to get from time to time:

www.thrivemarket.com (has all sorts of condiments and stuff)

Then I haven't tried this but I was just browsing and this seemed delicious, I'll probably get it:

Hmmmm yummy. I feel like a good seafood boil.

I have never used jar sauce for anything. My grandmother was 100% sicilian Italian and would roll over in her grave if I used jar sauce

No, I always make myself as those jars are always bland

waste of time, at least next time you know the ingredients are fresh

No, I avoid prepared anything.

I do, but only because I’m crap at cooking. Aldi do curry sauces that come with a little pot of spices to marinade the meat first - they’re quite tasty

I do. I like the Rogan Josh curry. After many times making it and testing to find the right accompaniment of veg and spices I looked at the ingredients and noticed I could have made it from scratch with what I added..

I've been doctoring store bought sauces for years when I don't have time or am missing ingredients.

Aldi korma sauce is really good too

Too much sugar 😖

For some dishes yes.

I used to buy pre-prepared spaghetti and Indian sauces. I have been making my own for the past 12 or so years. There really is a huge difference. Every ingredient matters.

I stick to the same brand of spaghetti sauce.
I usually make all my other ones.
And condensed creamed soup is banned from my house.
I just make a white sauce and add mushrooms or celery to it.

Sometimes i do yes.
