I don't care how good it is, $8.50 for a jar of pasta sauce is highway robbery. It's like Bachan's BBQ sauce, sure it's good, but it ain't even close for those prices. I'd legit feel ripped off if I bought either.

    The sign says "serving SoCal" so this is actually a below average price

    Los Angeles grocery prices always make my eyes pop out of my head. It's just the cost of existing down there.

    Shit is getting ridiculous here too. Luckily I've really gotten into cooking over the last five years or so. Fresh ingredients are still pricey, but much much much cheaper than what these corps are slopping out. I can make pasta or pizza sauce in these quantities fresh for under $2.

    No. Don't spread misinformation/bullshit. Plenty of family in LA and lived there just two years ago. This is NOT a below average price. Maybe for Raos, not sure, but definitely not for pasta sauce as a whole. And no it's not the cost of existing down there unless you have absolutely no shop savvy. Food4Less, Aldi, Super King, Costco, etc will absolutely have plenty of pasta sauce of that size for under 5 bucks
