I had a heck of a time trying to think of a post for this week and it just came to me on Sunday while cooking dinner.
I save money on pizza sauce by using spaghetti sauce instead. Making my own is NOT cheaper (unless I were to GROW my own stuff). My favorite pizza sauce is $2.19/12 oz and happens to be among the cheapest that I can find. I can get a bottle of Classico Italian Sausage spaghetti sauce for $2.00 on sale and get 2 pizza’s out of the bottle.
And THAT works for me! Find hundreds of tips at We Are THAT Family!
