  Raos is good. Pretty consistently top rated. I basically thought all jarred pasta sauces were garbage before I tried it.

  …it does always hurt a little when I splurge on a jar though. Also, Costco sells two packs of the 32oz jars for just a bit more than this and it goes on sale frequently.

    I think ALDI’s Select pasta sauce is better for $3.60. Even at Costco price Raos is not worthed.

    I agree, its the next best thing to home made pasta sauce

      I was just wondering how they get away with writing homemade in the label.

        good question, I spent a few minutes trying to look it up and it probably has to do with the size of the company and the size of the batches made being mostly human labor

        its not easy to find a clear answer though

  Even Newman’s Own (a non-profit) is $4. $6-$10 is normal in my area, and it’s one of the least affluent areas of the country.

    Like, where I am, the cheap classico sauce is about 3 bucks. And i dont doubt that the tomatoes they use come from Cali. Im across the continent, in a different country. I know some “ritzy” sauces here are encroaching on the 10$ mark. Its so fucked up

      Spoiler: It’s going to be pretty much the same as the $2 sauce.

      im guessing the 'truffle" makes it expensive.

  It’s 8.50. It’s only 7.50 of you buy 5 other them or more.

  Most expensive one I could find with a simple google search in Germany is € 12.54 per kg,
  the ones pictured above are 680g, so for $ 7.49 that’s $ 11.01 or € 9.55 per kg (at current exchange rate)

  Average price for pasta sauce in Germany seems to be around € 4.50 / kg, but then the Rao’s might be among the pricier sauces in the US?

    Rao’s might be among the pricier sauces in the US?

    It is. It’s a high-quality sauce made by a very famous restaurant in New York City. It’s one of those few products that immediately stands out when someone tries a blind taste test on you.

  That’s the price if you buy five or more…

  One to four jars is 8.49 each…

  Campbells has to make back the money they spent buying it from private equity somehow

  Your right, fuckin cheap! Pasta sauce around me is around 12.99. Well besides the store brand which is pretty much water now a days.
