Frugal Tips Jonni McCoy Jonni McCoy has been practicing her frugal ways since 1991. Spaghetti sauce does go on sale often and the price is close to homemade. Homemade is around 20 cents cheaper than store bought, if you use the small cans of tomato sauce when they are on sale for 10 cents each.
Some people also prefer the taste of their homemade sauce.
To make homemade spaghetti sauce a bit easier, I have included a recipe for a spaghetti sauce mix. Simmer for 30 minutes. The price is too close for me to spend the time. Puddings are cheaper when homemade, but again, some people may think that the savings isn't worth their time. Store-bought can cost 25 cents per cup, whereas homemade costs around 15 cents per cup.
