Do You Use Prepared Jar Sauces To Make Main Dishes?

I bought a jar of Butter Chicken sauce from Aldi because I was hungry for Indian food and had been craving it. The directions said to cube up chicken, season with salt & pepper and fry it in oil & then add sauce. When I tasted the sauce it was bland & sweet. So I added 3 tablespoons of curry paste, some more salt, a spoon full of ginger powder & a fried chopped up onion….it tasted like Butter Chicken after I did all of that but thinking next time I will just make it from scratch.

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:
