What’s Your Best Price – Tomato Sauce

These little 8-oz cans of tomato sauce are definitely a pantry staple for me. My favorite thing to use them for is when I use a jar of spaghetti sauce; I add one can to a jar a sauce to get a little more sauce for my money. So I have been price shopping this item and I find that it is cheapest at Aldi’s for $0.25 per can. What is your cheapest price on 8-oz cans of tomato sauce right now?
