Select Newman’s Own Sauces
Price: $1.99 for a 24-ounce jar (usual price: $3.29)
Why I Love It: I love Newman’s Own sauces for their great flavor and straightforward ingredient list, which makes them easy to adapt to a variety of dishes.
My friends joke that shopping for food is my number one hobby, and they’re not wrong. Between trips to the farmers market, forays at Trader Joe’s, and my weekly stock-up at Wegman’s, I spend a lot of time gently squeezing produce, nibbling bakery samples, and comparing various deals to find the best food I can get my hands on—and at the best prices.
So, when I saw that Wegman’s was running a sale of Newman’s Own Sauces, I had to hustle over there and pick some up.
From now until April 14, certain 24-ounce jars of Newman’s Own sauces, (including my favorites, Marinara and Sockarooni, plus Tomato and Basil) are on sale for $1.99 instead of the usual $3.29. I love a good deal on something with a long shelf life, so I grabbed a few of each flavor to keep on hand for whenever I need a quick dinner—basically every night. Note that the organic sauces aren’t included, nor are other Newman’s Own products.

Why I Love Newman’s Own Sauces
While I like to make my own marinara sauce, and I’m a well-documented fan of Rao’s, having a jar of any good marinara (or the zippier and heftier Sockarooni, which includes peppers, mushrooms, and herbs) in the pantry is always a good move.
I can use the sauces for pizza beans, steamed mussels marinara, an easy chicken Parmesan, or just dump it on a big mountain of spaghetti like Paul Newman intended. I specifically like to include Newman’s Own Sockarooni in my recipe for baked ziti because the extra vegetables give the baked pasta a nice texture.
I like Newman’s Own sauces as a jumping-off point for other dishes because the ingredients are straightforward, and there’s no added sugar. I can easily adapt the sauce to suit whatever dish I’m making. I also have a sweet spot for Newman’s Own products because Paul Newman is a bonafide heartthrob for the ages, and Cool Hand Luke is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Perhaps more importantly, 100 percent of the profits from Newman’s Own products support the Paul Newman Foundation, which does essential work supporting youth with disabilities, living in poverty, and facing hunger. That give-back makes it a lot easier to stock up on these jarred sauces, especially when they’re a great deal.
