I have a question, and you gotta be honest with me...
Do you get your spaghetti sauce from a jar? I do. Make my own, are you crazy? I don't have time for that shit! I do dress it up quite a bit, but it still comes from a jar. Go ahead, you can be honest. I won't tell your mom or grandma. ;)

2. No.....worse, a CAN!
I also doctor it up, but I get the plainest plainest I can (Hunt's Traditional) and then go at it with meat, onions, garlic, basic, etc.

4. My mom & grandma buy it in jars.
I make it at home.

I am unemployed, though, and have time for it. As soon as I get a job I'll probably buy it again.

5. I have ALWAYS made my own...
I have a superb recipe, one that only takes about an hour and a quarter to make...

Prep time is 15 minutes; cooking time is one hour...and it makes a lot, it reheats really well...and of course the flavors blend better each time you heat it...

If anyone would like to have it, PM me...

It's called: Berkeley Spaghetti Sauce...

6. I make my own
A quick sauce is almost as fast as heating up ragu.

7. You can have homemade tomato sauce in 15 minutes.
I make mine in bunches and freeze what I don't use. So, whenever I need some, I just thaw and reheat.

Of course I'm out now. And there are a couple of 1/2 full jars in my fridge, but they were not bought by me, they were bought by a former roomie.

10. I doctor it up a little bit.
But then, I regularly eat spaghetti-o's too. So I'm not an expert ;)

12. The ghost of my grandma would haunt me nightly
if I forsook her and used that jar stuff. I have many good cooks in my family so I was raised with higher standards than Rago :9.

14. jar baby. I love the barilla, bertolli, and coppola brands...yum.
I doctor them with garlic and other spices too, but the roasted garlic ones are fantastic, not to mention the garlic and basil...

I used to make my own, but after tasting these, it's so much easier.
